Remember when our moms used to tell us, “It is better not to wear white when you’re on your period”. Or when our teachers would ask us to skip PT classes because running will worsen our periods? How about when our local pharmacist used to pack sanitary products in black plastic bags because they thought others in the street must not know we were buying?
Over the last few years much has changed in how India talks about periods. But myths, stigma and shame around period pain, protection and management continue to exist. Many women in rural and urban India are unaware of new period products that are more hygienic, cost-effective and sustainable choices. And brands like Pee Safe are driving that conversation forward with products that put women first. They are busting all kinds of period myths by highlighting the need for maintaining intimate hygiene and offering organic period care.
In this video we show a range of biodegradable and reusable period products that are available in the market today. We talk about why these products are the need of the hour to maintain menstrual hygiene. Check it out.
