MENSTRUAL HYGIENE MANAGEMENT

Kayal Arivalan lists menstrual hygiene essentials that'll make getting through your period easier

Menstruation can M be distressing for women of all ages, primarily due to cramping and the increased chance of contracting bacterial or yeast infections in their intimate areas, which can seriously impair their health. In addition, excessive perspiration might cause rashes and itching. "All of these factors contribute to the importance of menstrual hygiene practices and the necessary essentials that every woman must include in her lifestyle," says Sujata Pawar, Founder and CEO of Avni, a start-up focused on holistic menstrual care, listing down five intimate hygiene products for a happy period.

PANTY LINERS

Panty liners can prove to be lifesavers for women during menstruation. In the early days of a period, when an unexpected flow might develop, or in the latter days, to prevent any spots on clothing, they are of tremendous assistance. They are thin, airy, and incredibly user-friendly.

TOILET SEAT SANITISER SPRAY

It is well-known fact that public restrooms are one of the leading causes of UTIS in women. Consequently, toilet seat sanitiser spray is an intimate hygiene tool that comes in very handy during these times.
