Abstract Menstrual hygiene is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of women's health, particularly in developing regions. This study, titled “Menstrual Hygiene Products and Their Uses: A Detailed Survey Study,” aimed to assess awareness, accessibility, and preferences regarding menstrual hygiene products among women in Wardha, Bhadrawati, and Wani. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted among 100 female participants to evaluate their knowledge, usage patterns, and concerns related to menstrual hygiene management (MHM).
The findings revealed that while commercial sanitary pads were the most commonly used menstrual product due to their accessibility, awareness regarding sustainable alternatives like biodegradable pads and menstrual cups was limited. A significant number of participants lacked prior knowledge about menstruation before their first period, emphasizing the need for early education and awareness programs. Health risks associated with conventional sanitary products, including exposure to harmful chemicals, were not widely recognized, highlighting the necessity of promoting safer menstrual products.
This study underscores the importance of menstrual health education, accessibility to hygienic products, and the need to encourage the adoption of sustainable alternatives. Addressing these factors can lead to improved health outcomes and environmental benefits while ensuring dignity and well-being for menstruating individuals.
