The reusable pads which are given to us are very comfortable, earlier ladies used to get infection from using clothes, but after using these pads, they don’t suffer anymore. I love it so much that I don’t even get the urge to use any other alternative. The problem of leakage has also been resolved and now I can attend weddings and any other function easily which I used to avoid earlier during periods. Many women in our area now use these pads. We anticipate getting more of these pads and we also want more women and girls to use it. The cost of getting pads which was 25 rupees has also been cut after switching to reusable pads.
Beneficiary
We had to use cloth during our periods because of which we used to face so much difficulty as we had to clean the cloth and for drying we had to hide it somewhere for no one to see, we had to hide it from the people and our family but now we are in relief because of Pinkishe’s pad distribution effort, now we don’t have to hide anything, we are able to avoid blood stains, thus, we are very happy for providing us pads and we want to thank everyone in Pinkishe for providing us this support.
