Hi Girls & Guys!!

This information is for both girls and guys, even though guys don’t have PERIODS.
From childhood we girls have come across scenarios of DO's and DON'Ts especially in our puberty (9 to 15 years). The major one is PERIODS/ Menstruation/Cycles whatever name you want you can call it. So first of all, let me clear one thing.

Periods is a Blessing, not a Taboo.

Periods or Menstruation is not a disease or shame; it's a natural process of shedding of the uterine lining (which is also called endometrium tissues) and blood from the uterus through the cervix and vagina.
This happens when the egg (ova), which is released into the uterus from the ovary, is not fertilized by the any sperm then this uterine lining (which acts as the placental wall during pregnancy) sheds off with blood. This phenomenon occurs every month until the occurrence of pregnancy, thus it's called as the Menstrual Cycle. These are the basics of menstruation every girl and boy should know on entering Puberty. The parents should teach their children about menstruation.
Boys/Guys out there, please heed to my Shout-Out….
You have MOTHERS, SISTERS, GIRLFRIENDS, WIFE, FRIENDS, RELATIVES, CLASSMATE, COLLEAGUE or any Known Females in your circle. Please support them with respect & care. Tell them that you are so fortunate to have them. Thank them for being the reason for the generation growth. Salute them for the pain they go through in both the cases- Periods and Pregnancy. Take good care of their diet because there is heavy blood loss which makes them anemic, weak and fragile. Try to give them rest from difficult physical work for these 4 days…
If you see blood stain on their pants or skirts, inform them about it. Never make fun of their situation as they go through tremendous pain (headache, acne, bloating, pain in lower abdomen, tiredness, mood swings called as PMS, food cravings, breast soreness and sometimes Diarrhea). Educate your next male generations on these facts.





LET's JOIN HANDS and TAKE A PLEDGE
PERIODS IS A BLESSING, NOT A CURSE… OUR WOMEN ARE THE SUPER-WOMEN…




Now it's time for the Menstrual Health:
Menstrual Health is one of the most important steps to prevent severe disease outbreak in the genital area. The first and foremost step or precaution is washing hands before and after touching the genitals. Second step is selection and use of correct absorption material based on the blood flow. And the final step, i.e. Changing of the absorbent after every 4 to 8 hours.

ABSORBANTS USED IN PERIODS
There are 4 types of absorbing materials available in markets for use in Periods - Washable cloth pads, Disposable sanitary napkins, Disposable tampons, Reusable menstrual cups.

Washable cloth pads are made up of an absorbent cloth and are washed & dried between each use like lingerie.
Disposable sanitary napkins are of 2 types- dry-net cover and cottony cover. These pads are made up of materials from forestry and petroleum industry. The core is made up of wood pulp bleached with chlorine and polyacrylate gels (sucks the liquid quickly, keeping the surface dry) which holds the blood in a suspension under pressure. Both the types differ by only one material. In dry-net cover, the pad is coated with chemicals used to make plastics like BPA and BPS for longer dried surface.
Tampons are made up of cotton, rayon or mixture of both. There are 2 types of tampons~ Chlorine bleached, scented and non-bleached, non-scented. It's advised to use the non-bleached and non-scented tampons.
Menstrual cups are made up of medical grade skin friendly silicone or latex (rubber) and are flexible. Its cup or bell shaped with a protruded tip.
The major drawback for washable pads is that you will always need a wet bag system wherever you go, it will move around when you are active and sometimes there is fair chance of leakage. The duration of use is 2-3 hours.



The drawback for disposable pads is that it is whitened with chlorine bleach (which produces a harmful byproduct Dioxin) and contains plastic chemicals (which can easily enter the bloodstream via vagina). Sometimes these chemical reactions results in cervical cancer. The duration of use is 4-5 hours.
Whereas,
Tampons and Menstrual Cups are safer to use and definitely can be used by Virgins. The hymen might break due to tension or pressure but it will not lose the Virginity. They are the perfect partner for active sports and workouts on your bleeding days. It is confortable, easy to carry, biodegradable and affordable.
The tampons can be worn for 4-8 hours maximum and need to be replaced before 4-8 hours according to the flow rate. The non-bleached and non-scented Tampons are eco & skin friendly.
The menstrual cups can be worn until its filled, maximum up to 12 hours. One cup is sufficient and can be washed and used for almost 10 years. They are eco & skin friendly.

The application of both is into the vagina, so hygiene should be maintained. And also change in the dedicated time to avoid Toxic Shock Syndrome.

As Menstrual cups are difficult and sometimes painful to remove,

So, I would suggest all the girls & women out there to go ahead and try TAMPONS

For a hygienic and safe menstrual cycles as well as Health…
