Product description

Only 12 per cent women in India use sanitary napkins which still makes for at least 9,000 tonnes of garbage and India produces over 1 billion non-compostable sanitary pads every month. And with modernisation this number is continuously increasing.

“Society in India still being largely conservative and patriarchal in nature, menstrual hygiene management has still not been planned well and women face issues in disposing sanitary pads in an appropriate manner,” says Sumit Singh, governance expert on Swachh Bharat Mission, Urban Development Department, Government of Goa. He further adds, “Sanitary pads are generally disposed with mixed waste or in dry waste bin category of door-to-door waste collection if the facility is available. This again poses problems to sanitation staff while segregating waste at processing plants. If the waste is simply dumped at a landfill site, it poses health hazards to waste pickers. In some of the progressive cities, municipal authorities raise awareness about wrapping the pad in old newspaper and marking it with a red cross before disposing it in dry waste bin. Some of the housing societies and girls schools have also started installing small incinerators to dispose sanitary pads. However, initiatives like this cover a miniscule portion of the population and all of the women living in urban and rural areas have to face the issue every month.”

Eco-friendly pads are a good option for urban and village women. Most of them use cloth pads which may not be a hygienic option and those who use sanitary pads tend to burn them by making a hole in the ground. But this practice produces hazardous gases like dioxins.

Not worth for money..Poor quality

Not worth for money..Poor quality
Quality of the product is not good.It made of cotton which is not good does not absorb liquid properly and a woven thin piece from which woven bags are made..thats it..It cost Rs.700 for 96 pcs which is approx Rs.7.29 per pc which is not less. It also leaves glue on the clothes and it does not come out even After washing. I got rashes as it is so hard on skin while removing from cloth it tears up leaving cotton everywhere.At the end i would like to say if people are trying to change and want to use authentic product plz dont cheat their trust..atleast provide them product which is value for their money.

I have been using Sakhi's sanitary pads for the past 4 years. Here's my experience.

Pros: - it's is chemical free. Has a soft cotton lining. Extremely gentle on skin. I've stopped getting rashes. I used to get rashes while using commercial pads which have a plastic lining filled with chemicals. Sakhi's pads are free from these. Also, they are biodegradable which is great.

Cons: - it doesn't handle heavy flow as well as commercial pads.

Solution: On the days I have heavy flow, I use a commercial brand like Whisper. All other days, I use Sakhi.

This has worked great. I'm comfortable on heavy flow days. I don't get rashes cuz I mostly use Sakhi.

5 stars for the fact that it is biodegradable. I really care about the environment and hence love this product. The product as such is not great for longer hours. It needs changing every 2 hours or so. And the pad shrinks as it gets wet. They could try making it in different sizes, for different sized people.
