The rise of sustainable menstrual products stems from growing environmental awareness. Sustainable sanitary pads, made from organic materials like cotton, bamboo, and hemp, offer a reusable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional disposable pads. This shift reflects historical practices of reusable cloth pads before the dominance of disposables. Aside from environmental benefits, sustainable pads also prioritize women's health by reducing exposure to harmful chemicals. Accessibility to affordable and eco-conscious menstrual products is essential for social equity, particularly in marginalized communities. This study contributes to global efforts in sustainable development and women's health empowerment by evaluating the effectiveness and feasibility of sustainable sanitary pads as a viable alternative in menstrual hygiene management.
