Please read the book Ritu vidya- the ancient science behind menstrual pactices. It explains the scientific reasons behind menstrual practices and rituals in India which commonly people think as taboo. The writer explained that even tempons and menstrual cups are not safe for ladies due to its material..
Menarche: The Need for Celebration Still many women in India prefer cotton cloth to any other commercially available menstrual product. It is necessary to understand why they have such a preference, especially when products such as sanitary napkins and tampons offer extra-long protection and lesser chances of staining. While the pH of blood is around 7.5 (slightly alkaline), the vaginal pH is typically 3.5 to 4.5 (moderately acidic). The normal vaginal pH is ideal for beneficial bacteria and creates a hostile environment for pathogenic bacteria that cause odor and infection. When the pH of the vagina increases, it favors the growth of pathogenic bacteria and yeast. ³4 During menstruation, vaginal pH becomes elevated by menstrual blood, and chances of contracting infections such as bacterial vaginosis become high.35 Therefore, breathable menstrual products that require to be changed frequently, such as cotton cloth, help to keep the pH levels in check and prevent vaginal infection. On the other hand, menstrual products that contain an impermeable plastic layer, such as sanitary napkins, and/or are highly absorbent, such as tampons, increase the chances of vaginal infections by increasing the vaginal pH by retaining blood for long periods of time.,,.
Being a boy, I shared this in my group... As this is not just girl's issue.. We all have to keep a fair perception toward it. For better society and a better INDIA 🇮🇳 ♥
My 1st periods experience was horrible. I was in hostel at night and sudden blood scared me.. I cried whole night, I had no pads, didn't have clue about which side of pad should be at it's place(back & front) ,no friend to ask for pads and also I thought bleeding will continue for my whole life without break just like tap water😂 . Ah those days!! I really needed someone's help so badly
There badboo me se be disease ayega usse better hei ye. chemicals nahi they are perfumes scents .vo half knowledge vaali kuch bi bolegi thu pav knowledge kuch bi sunegi 😅😅
This has to be shared with everyone especially menstruating women...irrespective of your gender.. Cancer is a seriously torturous disease with high cost... And with time more people are getting affected... We can't let our women suffer 🙏🙏

Kudos to your efforts which you made while doing an extensive research and most importantly, in delivering the facts on such a critical yet overlooked issue.
It not just affects women's helath but also the environment. It takes 500 to 800 years for one sanitary pad to degrade. That is how long it stays in the environment causing pollution. A recent study published by an environment group Toxics Link states that more than 1 billion non compostable sanitary products are dumped in India's landfills and rivers.

It's not the women's job alone to take care of the environment. Men's products like shaving creams and foams, used blades are also detrimental to the environment and pollute the ground water table, and those products also require a fair bit plastic in packaging and design that also take forever to decompose. You don't necessarily need that, you can easily use glycerine to shave but women can't use any product in their intimate area as that could affect their fertility.
I started using menstrual cup from last 2 months and its actually way better than pads and one cup is enough for around 8-10 years. It causes no rashes no discomfort and save us from the guilt of ruining our environment. I think all the ladies reading this should definitely give it a try. 😊
I also think this...but I scare that if I used menstrual cap so my private part will be lose.....could u please help me out for this question 🙏....pls must reply...I don't want to use peds bcz of this I feel that My skin feels very ichey..
I am using pads as long as i remember, and i am aware about its side-effects or more of deadly effects. I tried to switch on menstruation cups once. I faced a lot of problems inserting it into vagina. Pain was not bare-able. But it was my first time because though i am 24, not sexually active so if was kind of strange experience for me to inserting it. First day went anyhow but on second day my vagina literally swollen up. I went to visit the doctor she warn me not to repeat this in future because my vaginal skin was somehow allergic to the cup's material or whatever it is. She gave me ointments and medicine. The horror is not ending here. After that month my periods suddenly stopped for next month i waited because i faced this in past but then months passed by 4 months no periods again i pay visit to doctor. After some tests it appears that due to use of the cup my internal skin damaged a little bit and swollen from inside. I was on harsh medication for a month then after my periods commenced regularly. So now i am stuck with pads forever. I am hella scared to use cups ever again.
I bought the cup and was ready for a change but I couldn't put it inside. I later realized my hymen was still intact. I can't find a really good flexible cup in my country so I guess the pad is it 🥲
Ayo didi us😭😭😭😭 Girls much younger to us are very comfortable with cups and damn I'm very scared to even insert it. Atleast, I guess your parents were supportive in this decision of using cup. But here, my mom herself is very against it. My only fear is, agar aisey kuch ultra seedha hogaya toh mere gharwaalon ko b pata chaljayega ki meiney cup try kiya aur bas katam tata byebye hojayeg mera.. See how I'm struck😭🤣😔😔 Dil se bhot bura lagta h di. I'm 21, sexually inactive
@@KAJAL_THIS_SIDE cups are normal like pads,like she has allergy to cups, some people may have allergy to pads,some have allergy to some food items,no need to be scared,being allergic to something is different issue,cups are normal,go for it
Thank you so much for making this informative video. This topic is still such a taboo, but I am happy people are finally starting to talk about it. 30 years back, when I had got my periods, my mom gave me disposable pads.I totally understand the reason why she made that choice. And despite coming from a poor background, she made sure I had a good life. I am sure she had zero knowledge of what these disposable pads contain. Today, when my daughter started her periods, I was able to give her a choice - reusable cloth pads vs. disposable pads & I am happy she chose reusable pads..yes there's that extra work of washing and drying, but its safer for her health & Mother Earth too..
being a girl my father taught me all this to me and my brother especially me because I have some period issue that my mother usually feel awkward to speak about but my father always consider it as human reproductive thing which cannot be avoided.
I don't know why this video is so underrated. Every one should know ( male and female) about this , it's not a curse or something it's natural and we don't have to be so shy about this. It's really happy that some people choose to talk about reality so openly . I remember my first period was a disaster cause my whole family never talked about this with me before I'm sure most of us had the same experience beacuse of poor mentality and even after my period I wasn't told properly about this even my was shy to talk this with me she just gave me pad and told to use it but my first I wasn't even know from which side I have to put it and how long should I use it and it happen every month and so on problems... But feels glad that someone like you educating about this openly Also I want to say thanku for telling alternate solutions of pad like I didn't knew before some things existed like banana leaf pad before ever...
I got to know from internet but if I didn't so my mom would made me use clothes but she is very kind so I explained to my mom and she aggred to me so I ordered the menstrual cup and she told me that I am too young to use it. I got my first period on age 13 and first period was awesome because it was painless I don't know why I told about it to my friend but she didn't helped me to go to toilet there wasn't any lock there she first told about it to her friend and left without me it hurted me alot. Luckily there wasn't anyone at toilet.. But I know I am too young for using menstrual cup or disk but I don't have fear of it unlike other girls who still have fear of inserting it. Still I feel very lucky to not having pain on first period

For me this topic is ok to discuss or can help upto my knowledge even if i am not a female. The only thing i hate is... Some female pads users just throw away the pads anywhere and even leave it in open anywhere... Once a dog was going through the used sanitary pads and i had to shooooooo way the dog and dispose away the pad myself.... What i fell is..... after using the pads one should dispose it without causing any disturbance to the society .....

Actually the thing is even if we throw it in a proper place because of its smell the dogs are attracted because I had experienced similar situation at home where my dog literally dug out our dustbin and tore the used pads everywhere in our front yard it was really embarrassing situation it happened a lot of time so now I just throw it directly when the garbage truck cames with other garbage
I don't think women are this careless...this has happened with me also. The dogs are attracted to the smell of blood. I had properly disposed off my pad...but don't know from where on earth a dog came and took out my pads from dustbin....went on the street and did like thousand pieces of it. 🥲
@@sarangsarang3174 hmm.. I think there's still a better way to dispose it without having it being torn off.. I mean ofc try to keep your dustbins away from streets dogs (they can be such a pain ik🥲) but also try to wrap it twice or tape it after wrapping it.. and then get a dustbin bag and keep all those disposed pads collected in it.. and throw it the bin. I think that way, there will be less chances of it being torn off by the dogs even they come in their contact and on top of it, it won't spread foul smell and infections in the air. Just don't throw it right away.. it can cause alot of bacteria which is not good for anyone, especially those ppl whose job is to collect and seperate those wet n dry garbages. So yeah take care and be considerate! :)
I use what mom taught me. Cotton cloth. Cotton ki saree se bana hua .. isse zyada comfortable kuch nahi ho sakta... And the rule is, properly wash karke dhoop me sukhana hai. Well, i understand un logon ke liye possible nahi ho payega jinke paas jagah na ho kapde sukhane ke. I feel lucky about it. Using cloth pads is one of ancient techniques, safe and comfortable. I use market pads while traveling only.
@@highfive3964 There are so many things from ancient methods jinhe doctors identify nahi karte.. kyunki unki dukan band ho jayegi. Doctors to pad use karne boltey hain, fir kyun ye issues create ho rahe hain?? Lakhon saalon se periods hotey women ko, tab pads nahi hotey the, women were healthier. Aaj ke time in business minded logon ne kapde ko defame kiya, aur fir 'reusable pads' ke naam se kapde ke pads ko bechna shuru kiya hai.. All about marketing psychology 🤷🏻♀️
@@vaishalirathour aaj kal ethical and ache log Kam hai. Har koi greedy ho gaya hai. Business and money ke baare mai sochta hai. I have female friends, sister and mother but i can't talk about sanitary pads with them and tell them about this video. Btw I'm a boy.
In my early years of menstruation i was using pads but i started getting rashes and many other skin problem. Then i started using cotton clothes as suggested by my mom. She always use it. Cotton clothes are too comfortable and there are no chances of any kind of infection. Once i visited a gynecologist She also told me that there's no problem in using cotton clothes.

Can you please add some insight on how to use cotton clothes as a menstrual equipment? I want to specifically know about its washing, handling & use during travels.
@@prachipragya7928 ,you can use soft cotton cloth like saree, lungi, dhoti etc. Wash them nicely. Remove starch from cloth. Thin saree is best. Take 1 to 11/2 meter cloth. Fold them nicely like sanitary pad, slightly bigger than sanitary pad. Use them underneath the panty. Change cloth pad 3 to 3 times a day. Wash them in hot water and dry them nicely preferably under sunlight. They are readily used repeatedly. Good for health also saves environment from used pads which contaminate the earth
1:10 When hormones are taken orally, they pass through the digestive system before entering the bloodstream. This can affect their absorption and metabolism. Some hormones may be broken down by stomach acids and liver enzymes, which can reduce their effectiveness. (that was the reason why hormones level was low when women take it orally ) not because Vagine is too sensitive
This is a great and much needed video which needs to be shared to the utmost possible. Whisper and Sofy add extreme amounts of fragrance to their pads. The fragrances are not only a source of VOCs as you mentioned, but also a source of pthalates that cause negative hormonal changes in the body. I used to get burning sensation with Sofy's perfume and sadly Sofy used to advertise it's pad on the USP of perfume. Bamboo pads are coming from China. I recently researched and the seller told me nobody manufactures them in India. It has been a long cry but this govt. rather increased the price of sanitary napkins with a hugh GST instead of making it subsidized, at least to the women who can't afford such a necessity. I even think the govt. should install incinerators to burn used pads so that sweepers and rag pickers don't get in touch with them. Sadly, I don't think the govt would ever do anything about it.
The Modi government has subsidized pads. Don't follow bollywood. In the Anganwadi offices & government PHCs you can get pads for 2 rupees per pad which is cheaper that 10 rupees per pad of whisper etc. But some nurses & doctors steal the pad & sell it privately. So get updated knowledge not the Bollywood knowledge. Many indian brands manufacture cloth pads. Cloth pads or menstrual cups are really good alternatives.
I remember 2 - 3 yrs back when my younger brother suggested me to use a menstrual cup. He ranted for a whole day and got a relative cousin to guide me to use it. Menstrual cups changed my life, and idk why i feel the pain and the discomfort kind of get reduced, it's much more hassle free. after using them for a year i realized my menstrual pain has reduced a lot, and the blood doesn't smell at all.
@@maharmibhattacharya2875 please watch sinu Joseph viedo on menstruation it will help you . You will able to understand why girl are not allowed to visit temple and or thing
@@nishantshrivastav9368 Thank you for the video. it was very insightfull. i've been practicing a lot of changes in my lifestyle, the results are really shocking.
I'm using menstrual cup for like last 18 months, and you know what, it is a blessing. Pads used to cause horrible rashes on the side areas of my vaginal part. But know it's like heaven. I can literally do swimming on my period. The only concern is that the initial stage of using it is little bit scary. But let me tell you, once u get used to it, the action needed to insert and fit it will get saved in your subconscious mind.. And now these cups are easily available in nearby medical stores and also online. I will recommend girls to give it a try..
@@basicbase749 dear, a good quality cup is made up of silicone which does not reacts with our skin/body. It is not mandatory that everyone's body will accept it,.someones body will just reject it. Luckily my body accepted it and till now I'm enjoying it...
I personally was not supported by my mother during menarche and thereafter. We never had any conversation regarding this. But back in my mind I always wished to explore the issue and recently I supervised a project on this and submitted my report. I rural areas menstrual waste is also a big change.
I am scared of using anything other than pads... pads just feel right even though I don't feel good it's the only thing I can use without anyone's need..

I switched from pads to cups this month and honestly best periods experience. at first, my mom was kinda scared cuz I'm 15 and she thought the cup will get stuck inside.💀ig now she knows that for me, it's more comfortable than pads so she's not worried anymore.
@@phoenix-ng3zh i used small size and in normal flow it should last 6-8 hrs..it depends how long your pads last. Twice that time i guess. You'll start feeling leakage if it gets full
In Assam we celebrate the 1st period of a girl with a huge function.... Even this is considered as the most important function of a girl's life in Assam.... But the fact is that in our country no one wants to talk or educate our new generation about this serious biological topic
Please read the book Ritu vidya- the ancient science behind menstrual pactices. It explains the scientific reasons behind menstrual practices and rituals in India which commonly people think as taboo or superstitious. The writer explained that even tempons and menstrual cups are not safe for ladies due to its material Cloth pads or organic cotton / banana fibre pads r best
Menstrual cups are made from Natural Rubber & Flexible medical grade silicon, Menstrual cups are the most environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Who told you it's unsafe for women? BTW, Do you even know about the harmful side effects of cloth pads?
I used organic pads before, their quality is terrible, it would tear up and crumble while wearing it and while removing , it wouldn't come off in one piece either.
@@Dreamon987 even most of them said that plastic are boon for many years until scientists discovered about their affect on nature. In the same way rubber and silicon . They r direct contact with skin when used as menstrual cups . Did any scientists study that r they safe to skin even after use of 3 to 5 days. Even the sellers know they hide it for business and sales. Even if the scientists claim now they r safe they cam claim in future that they r not safe like chemical based sanitary pads.

I'm using ecofemme cloth pads since two years... For sure they are cloth pads ... They are leakproof and they just act like plastic pads but the fun part is they are reasonable and washable... It give me the pride of owning and washing my pure mensuration blood ... ❤️🤗
I talked about this during my soft skill development program in my college. Many people didn't know. EDCs are harming and the conventional cotton which is used to make cotton pads are most dangerous because huge amount of pesticides are used while growing cotton.
I think menstrual cup is a better alternative. Really,it's the best friend of periods, I'm saying because really once you started using it you'll fall in love with it.. 1 disadvantages is inserting the cup sometimes irritate you because it doesn't open properly but you will masterd it when you use it regularly.. It doesn't have wings but it really feels you like you're flying,cause you know the feelings with pad is horrible, everytime you have to check it either it's licking or not,but with menstrual cup you will be free. Before purchasing just check either it is made of medical grade silicon,that's it.. So , let's switch to menstrual cup girls 😀
Thank God I shifted to cups young. I got my first period 4 months before I turned 14, that is 13 years and 8 months. Just 2 years and 1 month later I shifted to cup. That's when I was 15 years and 9 months. Right now I'm 17 years and 7 months old. Cup experience is really good. It's comfortable, 99 percent leakproof, and you don't get that wet feeling of pads.
Menstrual cups are the safest and best. I've been using them since 2012 and my God, my life is positive. And nowadays they're available as low as below 200 rupees. 15 years of safety.

Menstrual cup can cause TSS( toxic shock syndrome ) which is life threatening condition. It's rare . !! But still exist. Because of it many years ago tampons and cups were replaced by pads . When we were in MBBS 2nd year that time we have seen one case and TSS itself is frequently asked question in our exams. Due to its severity.
@@priyadarshinigangwar7228 that happens only if left inside for too long. Cups need to be emptied everyday and can be worn Max for 24 hours at a stretch, not more than that. Tested myself by me hence confirming. Toxic syndrome only happens after you let foreign objects stay within your body for more than 24/48 hours. I've been using cups since 2015, and my friends, since 2017, no one ever faced any issues as we are responsible enough to empty it each and everyday.
I am 50 now and I agree that the word periods were more like a taboo & stigma but a good news too. I grew up with mixed feelings. Lots of superstitious believes are related to it which I struggled & suffered as well. So certainly, it’s time to break free from such irrational thoughts. Although, I beg to differ on couple of issues in this video. Q) Why should the famous sanitary company name it’s product “Whisper”. A) Because there are few things in humans which is better to keep quiet or whisper. For example: a) No one would like to burp or fart in public or amongst relatives. We like to go hush hush from each other in my family. We taught the same to our kids as well. b) We don’t announce in public or amongst relatives that one needs to poop or take a leak. It is part of a daily routine. Above points are almost everyday and lifelong affair so does it mean that we should announce in public? Similarly menstruation too is a part of almost every woman’s life, with God’s grace! It doesn’t mean that we should celebrate or go announcing through certain rituals the way South Indians do. I never liked that tradition because the privacy of the girl child is gone and after all the rituals they are made to sit in one room in seclusion every month thereafter. How funny it is. I won’t call it a celebration. That child is very conscious and finds it difficult to come out of it. Anyways, you may appreciate it but I don’t. Q) Why are these companies showing blue liquid on the pad than showing the original blood colour liquid? A) The answer is simple. For majority of people blood is never a comfortable sight. Be it because of stabbing, shooting, injury, bruises or a simple cut with knife or blade. By showing the blue colour they soften the impact specially for very young girls who might find it difficult to accept. Now if you have problem with blue colour liquid & want the companies to show the original colour then I guess the babies diaper companies too should start showing poop & urine in the diaper in their advertisements. Also the diapers for elderly should also show the same. Now, how will it look? Good or repulsive? Also why should we name them Huggies or Pamper. We can’t hug the child with potty or pamper them while passing motion. These diaper companies should name it as potty diapers for babies and elders as well. Why give it a pleasant name. Let’s make it harsh and crude. India is known for its diverse culture in Hindu religion itself. But I fail to understand that the way people of few states celebrates girls menstruation and also pray to Kamakhya Devi; is there any God for celebrating boys hitting puberty as well? Because there is no life without boys cooperation either. So, why boys puberty is not celebrated? In my opinion this whole process of celebration should stop. It gives quite a tribal effect. Looks like we haven’t evolved yet. These are just simple biological changes in a girl and a boy when they hit puberty. 🙏🏼
@@khushiparmar1843 your atrocious behaviour seems to be incorrigible! Anyone who can comprehend well can understand that it is just my opinion not an order. Also, I have all the rights to express my opinion because this video is in public forum. If you cannot take criticism in healthy way then that’s your problem. Control freak! Are you?
You have given such a good explanation regarding to those 2 questions but my question is, is it really dangerous to use normal pads? Are chemical used really unsafe?
@@lami8789 thank you Lami. I too have the similar doubt hence didn’t comment anything on safety. Although I too have asked the same doubt to one of the commentator named “Naga Lalitha”. Her comment is placed somewhere around 23rd down in the row. She has scientifically explained how unsafe these menstrual cups , pads with gel and tampons are. Since I am not a science student so couldn’t understand much. I can only apply logic. According to me I have not been able to get convinced about menstrual cups. Simply because it holds the blood inside your body until you throw it. I feel that once the blood is discharged it will start to contaminate because it is no longer inside us. It is almost out. Although there is no contact with air but still my gut feeling is that it doesn’t look safe to me. With pads, gel based or not, we can change it every 4 to 5 hours which looks more safe to me.
I totally agree with her, so I wanna suggest to everyone to Handel this problem please use cotton upon the regular pad becz it reduces the direct contact with the chemicals.
my 1st period experience is very different from the stuff I hear . My mom taught me about these stuff before it happened and she uses cloth but recommended me to use pads (although she uses pads nowadays) I was actually not scared at all and tbh I was actually kinda excited. Well, I'm from Nepal and there is this custom where we can't see our male family member for 1 month when we get our first period and and and 1 week during our second period. Also during that time my younger brother was around 3 or 4 years old so he always ran around the house and two of my cousins were also there during that time, meaning that I would have stay in my room the entire month. I know if it were someone else they would go crazy after 2 days but I, the introverted freak with social anxiety, was having the time of my life. Seriously who WOULDN'T hate that like, 30 days away from society? heck ya! ps: ofc only a few caste groups follow this tradition so don't think that every nepali family does this lol
tbh I would love 1 month in my room specialy with no parents interupting on screen time and loads of books to read I assume your parents wouldn't interrupt since you are practically grounded for no good reason
@@riva-j7j girlie we should be besties but my mom would check in every once in a while and I didn't have to go to school cuz of online classes. What a time to be alive
Gurl it's just nothing😅 boys.... It's a society with zero sence period is a natural process where your vagaina releases blood that you didn't need.. When you will give birth you will needed that blood that comes out of our body.... That's means we all made of period blood😅 that our society made it a taboo.. That's why after getting pregnant girls period stops for nine months And using a cloth can cause rashes, itching and other.... Using a pad for too long can cause that too

I still remember i was in grade 8 and it was a friday afternoon, I felt pain in my back , i rushed to the bathroom and when i realised that something is wrong with my body , i started crying, and i never know how to deal with it. If i was not the firm believer , i would have ended my life in 2009 because of it .I left talking to my parents and start hating married people alotttt, i went into the depression and all that .From 8th to my second year in college, i kept this thing total secret, never shared with my family and friends , those 6 to seven years in my life , God knows how much i suffered .
Does it feel uncomfortable?? Like weren't you scared or something?? I also want to switch to a menstrual cup but I am scared of anything going inside?? Is it really convenient??
@@pratishtha5740 I was scared at first, and didn't insert it properly at first but then I got used to it pretty soon. It is actually comfortable if it is inserted properly, you shouldn't even be able to feel it. At first you can try it along with a pad if you're afraid of leaks. It won't get lost in your body, you should be relaxed while putting it in or taking it out.
According to news articles, there were also organic pads being tested in the study. And these organic pads too were found filled with same toxins (some of these claims to make their pads with bamboo materials). So it's better to switch to menstrual cup or cloth pad available in the market.
sanitary pads have existed for a while, and it's only now we're finding out it's harmful effects. I'm sure when they were first introduced everyone suggested using them instead of cotton cloth, just like everyone is suggesting to switch to menstrual cups nowadays. I'm pretty sure with time we'll find negative side effects of them too, so ppl shouldn't be so quick to jump to the next new thing in the market I believe, who knows how harmful menstrual cups can be since they're directly inserted into the body. I mean even cigerettes were marketed as healthy and great for you when thet first came out, so much so that they used to show pregnant women smoking cigarettes in the adverts but now we know the reality 😅
Menstrual cup can cause TSS( toxic shock syndrome ) which is life threatening condition. It's rare . !! But still exist. Because of it many years ago tampons and cups were replaced by pads . When we were in MBBS 2nd year that time we have seen one case and TSS itself is frequently asked question in our exams. Due to its severity.

Just wanted to share a bit more on the southern culture so that I can clarify it. It may sound a lot like people in the south (regions mentioned by Nikita) are not stereotypical about periods, but in fact it is the south that is most stereotypical I believe. Due to modernisation such thoughts have lessened a lot, but in my family and all the relatives I know, when you get your first period, you are supposed to sit in the corner of the house and no one is supposed to touch you until you complete 11 days. You are not even allowed to move out of the corner for the first five days. You might think that it is probably only for the first period, but no. When you get your period every month, like find out that you are on your period, you are not supposed to touch any cloth item in the house. You head straight to the washroom and take a full on shower regardless of the time. If you are not at home but out, you can act normally but once you reach home you follow the same drill. You are also strictly not allowed to touch any god related holy items if you are a Hindu until your period is done with. Yah, it gets a bit tough for us some times, but still, we consider it to be culture and respect it because, well, thats the only way to protect out culture I suppose.
I got my 1st period at my cousin wedding I have no clue what's wrong with me but thank god my 1 sister told me about it she gave me pads and make me understand it is normal ☺☺
When I was a kid I was too curious to know about everything , when the ads came on TV I asked my family members about every product which I didn't know and they used to explain me but when it came to the Sanitary Pads ads they just ignored me and later on the only product which looked in TV ads only pads were the one which I didn't know.

I remember my first period ,my mom already taught me alot, so I wasn't scared infact I went to her and told directly....she uses cloth but recommended me to use pads.....I sat like a scared kitten when she told "it's absolutely normal" I felt super cared by females of my house and my friends 💜
I started using cloth pads beside plastic pads from the last 4 years just to reduce environmental wastage, now i feel proud and happy that i did this..
@@sanskaragrawal2961 bhai maine apna personal experience share kiya, aap kis ka experience share kr rhe ho, every body is different, so the products should be. ek basa to sure hai cloth use krne se atleast cancer nhi hoga... Na hi environmental wastage badgega..
I was using pads a year back but now from a year I am using menstrual cup and I think it was my best decision. So l think menstrual cup is best option bcz it is reusable and we can use it for 7-10 years and its costs around only 300 or 400.
Please see some videos on youtube related to menstrual cup your all doubts definitely will be clear after this and I'm 18 and using it and it definitely don't get struck inside I assure you so don't worry about it. Please share your views with me after watching videos on youtube .Good luck.
In tamilnadu too but the ceremony is different here it's like saying that our daughter became woman and we are showing her to you so that you will come ask our daughter to marry you like that but like marraige we do some some rituals called sadangu
I switched to homemade pads made of organic cotton and trust me guys it is so helpful and easy to wear.Everyone is turning to ancient ways of using everything bcs they are the most safe.. I don't understand the taboo of following our ancestors way of homemade cloth pads just bcs they seemed backwards and we are obsessed with looking feeling and using modern chemicals filled hazardous sanitary napkins....
Homemade cloth pads were comfortable for women in that time bcz they did not go outside for working or higher education... Cloth pads can be safe but what about the side leakage.. And in terms of heavy flow with these cloth pads it will be disastrous for women working outside
@@MiskatulMim Sanitary napkins also cause leakage...We have to change then atleast 2 times a day plus we have to face itching irritation and hormonal imbalances bcs of it. Whereas cloth pads are safe and if made in thick layers and worn correctly during starting days can help to soak maximum,doesn't cause itching and above all they ate super natural and chemical free!.Thts y switch to cloth pads and dispose them after use.
Highly appreciated that you raised this vital issue... The Indian government needs to pay attention to this... Otherwise in a few years majority women are going to suffer a lot of isssue
I am now using menstrual cup, i used pads from my first period which was since class 9 to last year around may smthng , then I switched to menstrual cup and i gotta admit it , it's so much more comfortable than pads, initially I was confused how to use and gradually I became master in using cup. Girls switch to cups because they are eco friendly and money savers and you can use them for 10 years and so.. It's high time to get the chemical free products for your vagina and your body.
Please make a video on your recommended options of pads which we can use that are not hazardous to health. Please please... That would be really helpful
Hello i have a wonderful sanitary pads to recommend with negative ions help natural ph level, support reproductive health, odor control, with FAR infrared helps improve blood circulation.
I have been using Saukhyam cloth pad for a year ...and I have found magical results...zero irritation , no smell at all, easy to use, and very hygienic. I would like to recommend cloth pads to all because they are really safe .
I switched from pads to menstrual cups at like 8 months. I am really comfortable using it. And it doesn't hurt at all. I don't feel like I'm on my period and can even dance or exercise. The cup can last 8 to 12 hours but the pad only 4 to 6 hours. And it's good for the environment too. So I think cups are more convenient.
Yes we are with you and Influence this topic as we can because it's so..... Concerning. They are playing with our HEALTH and also with our ENVIRONMENT.
Even after knowing and experiencing irritation, allergies and other infections still we can't help but use it, as it's the only best option...Tampons and cups are not everyone is comfortable with
I use relatively tight ( not too much) granny pants with thick white pure cotton fabric, cut in large rectangular pieces which can be folded at least 4 times. After using it for 3-5 hours( at sleeping time i use much thicker wad of cloth ), i replace it with a fresh one and keep the soiled one in zip locked plastic bag (not one time use plastic) in my purse. When i return home, i soak the soiled ones in hydrogen peroxide and wash in soapy hot water. They turn up perfectly clean and odorless. This literally saves thousands of rupees and not to mention it saves me from exposure to chemicals, and is super environment frendly. 1.5 meters of cloth lasts me at least 18 to 20 months! I don't lead a very active lifestyle so this works for me. Hope other girls find it useful as well!❤❤
I switched to menstrual cups 5 years ago and never looked back and have been actively persuading every young women in my life to atleast give it a try once. However my bestie's body literally rejected it, evenif she wanted to use it so badly. She even missed her periods as a reaction. Our vaginas have a mind of its own and sometimes they'll just have sensitivity issues to things. When we are promoting alternate menstrual products, its very important to acknowledge the people who have had bad experiences to certain products and let it be very clear that some products might not be suitable for everyone. Eventhough the possibility of your body rejecting it shouldn't make you too scared to atleast giving it a try, you have to be mindful, listen to and respect your body's reaction. Don't be discouraged if one product doesn't work out, there are multiple different safe and environmentally responsible option for menstrual products out there.
@@basicbase749 Who told you that menstrual cups are made of plastic? So you don't know the difference between plastic and medical grade silicone? You know what's the dumbest thing here is, your assumption that everything clear is not plastic. Next time, don't be so sure about your assumptions and google before you showcase your ignorance.
It's a very important topic, by Bestfriend yesterday told me she have periods today... But I don't know what to say on this, I just told "Chinta mat Karo tumhe Jo bi help chaiye ya achha n lage muze batao" Guys you told me what I need to say or do
This is actually really traumatizing after getting to know about this.....we can't let ourselves and our own women suffer as cancer is not just a disease but a BIG term that can destroy lives completely. As a girl I haven't hesitated but shared this with everyone whether girl or boy as it is important knowledge to all.....I hope humanity finds another way to help our us womens with periods without causing harm to us.....

Thannk God I have recently switched to mensural cup... And wonderfully it also lessen my cramps as compare to sanitary pads and make me feel super dry snd normal like others days... But it taken me couple of months to use it properly and that's normal..
@@cutegirlhythm I also find it super difficult at first but over time I'm able to understand it.... Find the right size for you and always relax (neither scare nor get over excited) take time to insert(mine over a min) don't force it like little push and let it merge inside you, its often painful at first but when you master it you won't find any problem, it's messy sometimes but I'm ok with it.. Talk with someone you find comfortable about it detail description help gain courage to use it.. 😁

I'm not using sanitary pads and i request all the ladies not to use it instead use cotton reusable pads 👍which are good for ur health as well as the environment 🙏🤗
The day I started using menstrual cup I have never faced any difficulty and never looked back to use sanitary pads again.. I would advice every girl to use menstrual Cup instead of pad for the sake of our environment and our body too❤❤
I told my mom about it , and guys this is what she told , "I have been using for years nothing happens and all are myths " , then I told her , that ki we can use organic pads and then she told , ''money doesn't grow on trees,'' I was so upset that my own parents aren't cautious about my and even their own health ...this is the mentality of INDIAN PARENTS
Don't blame ur parent. Even you would do the same if you had been in their place. And also don't label "Indian parents". Not all indian parents are like urs
Now a days sanitary napkins are available online and also sanitary panties and both of them are really good and hygienic their little costly but it can be washed and reused so it is better than pads.
We appreciate you di bcz literally nobody is talking about it. The basic fundamental need of women and if we(specially boy) talk about this then this society told how devil you are. I read about this news in November and literally I have tears in my eyes as what will now our women(mother, wife, daughter) use? 🥺. Thanks for some natural and safe pads' brands that you suggest in last. Hopefully government will take certain steps.
Nobody will call you devil, some stupid boys might make fun of you or some stupid girls might suggest you not to get involved in women's privacy bla bla bla but believe me you are an angel if you are really concerned. I even got called by a boy in chats that period pain is fake & if I am having pain then I have some health issue & should consult a doctor, so it's true some boys are actually ignorant but won't take a second to call women gold digger 😒.
I want to tell that there are few people like you in society. You are really an angel. May god bless you 🙏🏻. I feel really happy that boys like you also exist. Society feels more safe than. Thanks for existing man. 🙏🏻
great video but 1. the reusable pads not efficient while traveling 2. switch to menstrual cups or disks its wayyyyyyy too better and also hella comfortable

Please read the book Ritu vidya- the ancient science behind menstrual pactices. It explains the scientific reasons behind menstrual practices and rituals in India which commonly people think as taboo.

As per your advice which pad is safe
Menarche: The Need for Celebration
Still many women in India prefer cotton cloth to any other commercially available menstrual product. It is necessary to understand why they have such a preference, especially when products such as sanitary napkins and tampons offer extra-long protection and lesser chances of staining.
While the pH of blood is around 7.5 (slightly alkaline), the vaginal pH is typically 3.5 to 4.5 (moderately acidic). The normal vaginal pH is ideal for beneficial bacteria and creates a hostile environment for pathogenic bacteria that cause odor and infection. When the pH of the vagina increases, it favors the growth of pathogenic bacteria and yeast. ³4 During menstruation, vaginal pH becomes elevated by menstrual blood, and chances of contracting infections such as bacterial vaginosis become high.35 Therefore, breathable menstrual products that require to be changed frequently, such as cotton cloth, help to keep the pH levels in check and prevent vaginal infection. On the other hand, menstrual products that contain an impermeable plastic layer, such as sanitary napkins, and/or are highly absorbent, such as tampons, increase the chances of vaginal infections by increasing the vaginal pH by retaining blood for long periods of time.,,.

Kudos to your efforts which you made while doing an extensive research and most importantly, in delivering the facts on such a critical yet overlooked issue.
It not just affects women's helath but also the environment. It takes 500 to 800 years for one sanitary pad to degrade. That is how long it stays in the environment causing pollution. A recent study published by an environment group Toxics Link states that more than 1 billion non compostable sanitary products are dumped in India's landfills and rivers.

It's not the women's job alone to take care of the environment. Men's products like shaving creams and foams, used blades are also detrimental to the environment and pollute the ground water table, and those products also require a fair bit plastic in packaging and design that also take forever to decompose. You don't necessarily need that, you can easily use glycerine to shave but women can't use any product in their intimate area as that could affect their fertility.
This is the exact reason why my mom suggested me to use menstruation cups after i turn 18 it saves money and is environment friendly

I am using pads as long as i remember, and i am aware about its side-effects or more of deadly effects. I tried to switch on menstruation cups once. I faced a lot of problems inserting it into vagina. Pain was not bare-able. But it was my first time because though i am 24, not sexually active so if was kind of strange experience for me to inserting it. First day went anyhow but on second day my vagina literally swollen up. I went to visit the doctor she warn me not to repeat this in future because my vaginal skin was somehow allergic to the cup's material or whatever it is. She gave me ointments and medicine. The horror is not ending here. After that month my periods suddenly stopped for next month i waited because i faced this in past but then months passed by 4 months no periods again i pay visit to doctor. After some tests it appears that due to use of the cup my internal skin damaged a little bit and swollen from inside. I was on harsh medication for a month then after my periods commenced regularly. So now i am stuck with pads forever. I am hella scared to use cups ever again.
U scared me. 🥺 I also going to use cups
I bought the cup and was ready for a change but I couldn't put it inside. I later realized my hymen was still intact. I can't find a really good flexible cup in my country so I guess the pad is it 🥲
I think we can use cloth pads
Ayo didi us😭😭😭😭
Girls much younger to us are very comfortable with cups and damn I'm very scared to even insert it.
Atleast, I guess your parents were supportive in this decision of using cup. But here, my mom herself is very against it.
My only fear is, agar aisey kuch ultra seedha hogaya toh mere gharwaalon ko b pata chaljayega ki meiney cup try kiya aur bas katam tata byebye hojayeg mera..

Thank you so much for making this informative video. This topic is still such a taboo, but I am happy people are finally starting to talk about it. 30 years back, when I had got my periods, my mom gave me disposable pads.I totally understand the reason why she made that choice. And despite coming from a poor background, she made sure I had a good life. I am sure she had zero knowledge of what these disposable pads contain. Today, when my daughter started her periods, I was able to give her a choice - reusable cloth pads vs. disposable pads & I am happy she chose reusable pads..yes there's that extra work of washing and drying, but its safer for her health & Mother Earth too..
being a girl my father taught me all this to me and my brother especially me because I have some period issue that my mother usually feel awkward to speak about but my father always consider it as human reproductive thing which cannot be avoided.

I remember my first period was a disaster cause my whole family never talked about this with me before I'm sure most of us had the same experience beacuse of poor mentality and even after my period I wasn't told properly about this even my was shy to talk this with me she just gave me pad and told to use it but my first I wasn't even know from which side I have to put it and how long should I use it and it happen every month and so on problems... But feels glad that someone like you educating about this openly
Also I want to say thanku for telling alternate solutions of pad like I didn't knew before some things existed like banana leaf pad before ever...

I got to know from internet but if I didn't so my mom would made me use clothes but she is very kind so I explained to my mom and she aggred to me so I ordered the menstrual cup and she told me that I am too young to use it. I got my first period on age 13 and first period was awesome because it was painless
I don't know why I told about it to my friend but she didn't helped me to go to toilet there wasn't any lock there she first told about it to her friend and left without me it hurted me alot.
Luckily there wasn't anyone at toilet.. But I know I am too young for using menstrual cup or disk but I don't have fear of it unlike other girls who still have fear of inserting it.
Still I feel very lucky to not having pain on first period

I agree. There are sick & irresponsible type of people in all the genders.
Actually the thing is even if we throw it in a proper place because of its smell the dogs are attracted because I had experienced similar situation at home where my dog literally dug out our dustbin and tore the used pads everywhere in our front yard it was really embarrassing situation it happened a lot of time so now I just throw it directly when the garbage truck cames with other garbage
I don't think women are this careless...this has happened with me also. The dogs are attracted to the smell of blood. I had properly disposed off my pad...but don't know from where on earth a dog came and took out my pads from dustbin....went on the street and did like thousand pieces of it. 🥲
@@sarangsarang3174 hmm.. I think there's still a better way to dispose it without having it being torn off.. I mean ofc try to keep your dustbins away from streets dogs (they can be such a pain ik🥲) but
also try to wrap it twice or tape it after wrapping it.. and then get a dustbin bag and keep all those disposed pads collected in it.. and throw it the bin. I think that way, there will be less chances of it being torn off by the dogs even they come in their contact and on top of it, it won't spread foul smell and infections in the air. Just don't throw it right away.. it can cause alot of bacteria which is not good for anyone, especially those ppl whose job is to collect and seperate those wet n dry garbages. So yeah take care and be considerate! :)
I use what mom taught me. Cotton cloth. Cotton ki saree se bana hua .. isse zyada comfortable kuch nahi ho sakta... And the rule is, properly wash karke dhoop me sukhana hai.

I want to specifically know about its washing, handling & use during travels.
@@prachipragya7928 ,you can use soft cotton cloth like saree, lungi, dhoti etc. Wash them nicely. Remove starch from cloth. Thin saree is best. Take 1 to 11/2 meter cloth. Fold them nicely like sanitary pad, slightly bigger than sanitary pad. Use them underneath the panty. Change cloth pad 3 to 3 times a day. Wash them in hot water and dry them nicely preferably under sunlight. They are readily used repeatedly. Good for health also saves environment from used pads which contaminate the earth

1:10 When hormones are taken orally, they pass through the digestive system before entering the bloodstream. This can affect their absorption and metabolism. Some hormones may be broken down by stomach acids and liver enzymes, which can reduce their effectiveness. (that was the reason why hormones level was low when women take it orally ) not because Vagine is too sensitive
This is a great and much needed video which needs to be shared to the utmost possible. Whisper and Sofy add extreme amounts of fragrance to their pads. The fragrances are not only a source of VOCs as you mentioned, but also a source of pthalates that cause negative hormonal changes in the body. I used to get burning sensation with Sofy's perfume and sadly Sofy used to advertise it's pad on the USP of perfume. Bamboo pads are coming from China. I recently researched and the seller told me nobody manufactures them in India. It has been a long cry but this govt. rather increased the price of sanitary napkins with a hugh GST instead of making it subsidized, at least to the women who can't afford such a necessity. I even think the govt. should install incinerators to burn used pads so that sweepers and rag pickers don't get in touch with them. Sadly, I don't think the govt would ever do anything about it.
Did you use the bamboo pads. If yes, did you find any difference from before.
Banana straw pads r there available in market.. those r indian... There r multiple eco-friendly made in india sanitary options r available in market..
The Modi government has subsidized pads. Don't follow bollywood. In the Anganwadi offices & government PHCs you can get pads for 2 rupees per pad which is cheaper that 10 rupees per pad of whisper etc. But some nurses & doctors steal the pad & sell it privately. So get updated knowledge not the Bollywood knowledge. Many indian brands manufacture cloth pads. Cloth pads or menstrual cups are really good alternatives.
So sensible thought
I remember 2 - 3 yrs back when my younger brother suggested me to use a menstrual cup. He ranted for a whole day and got a relative cousin to guide me to use it. Menstrual cups changed my life, and idk why i feel the pain and the discomfort kind of get reduced, it's much more hassle free. after using them for a year i realized my menstrual pain has reduced a lot, and the blood doesn't smell at all.
Woww younger brother ?? 😳

I'm using menstrual cup for like last 18 months, and you know what, it is a blessing. Pads used to cause horrible rashes on the side areas of my vaginal part. But know it's like heaven. I can literally do swimming on my period. The only concern is that the initial stage of using it is little bit scary. But let me tell you, once u get used to it, the action needed to insert and fit it will get saved in your subconscious mind.. And now these cups are easily available in nearby medical stores and also online. I will recommend girls to give it a try..
Menstrual cups are no better, they’re made of plastics, you’re keeping plastic inside you for days, that’s even dumber🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@basicbase749 dear, a good quality cup is made up of silicone which does not reacts with our skin/body. It is not mandatory that everyone's body will accept it,.someones body will just reject it. Luckily my body accepted it and till now I'm enjoying it...
😂I think it's better to keep plastic in over vagina because we don't put plastic in over brain like you
U mean It does not harm?
But what if body rejected it 🥶
I personally was not supported by my mother during menarche and thereafter. We never had any conversation regarding this. But back in my mind I always wished to explore the issue and recently I supervised a project on this and submitted my report. I rural areas menstrual waste is also a big change.
See sinu Joseph viedo
I am scared of using anything other than pads... pads just feel right even though I don't feel good it's the only thing I can use without anyone's need..
You don't need anyone else to use anything other than pads :)
U can use organic pads

In Assam we celebrate the 1st period of a girl with a huge function.... Even this is considered as the most important function of a girl's life in Assam.... But the fact is that in our country no one wants to talk or educate our new generation about this serious biological topic
Please read the book Ritu vidya- the ancient science behind menstrual pactices. It explains the scientific reasons behind menstrual practices and rituals in India which commonly people think as taboo or superstitious.
The writer explained that even tempons and menstrual cups are not safe for ladies due to its material
Cloth pads or organic cotton / banana fibre pads r best
Menstrual cups are made from Natural Rubber & Flexible medical grade silicon, Menstrual cups are the most environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Who told you it's unsafe for women? BTW, Do you even know about the harmful side effects of cloth pads?
I used organic pads before, their quality is terrible, it would tear up and crumble while wearing it and while removing , it wouldn't come off in one piece either.
@@Dreamon987 even most of them said that plastic are boon for many years until scientists discovered about their affect on nature. In the same way rubber and silicon . They r direct contact with skin when used as menstrual cups . Did any scientists study that r they safe to skin even after use of 3 to 5 days. Even the sellers know they hide it for business and sales. Even if the scientists claim now they r safe they cam claim in future that they r not safe like chemical based sanitary pads.

I'm using ecofemme cloth pads since two years... For sure they are cloth pads ... They are leakproof and they just act like plastic pads but the fun part is they are reasonable and washable... It give me the pride of owning and washing my pure mensuration blood ... ❤️🤗
thank you so much it'll help me I was looking for such a thing I'll try to find it 🙇♀️🌸
Where did u bought it ?
Just be having chemicals. Use menstrual cup
What's about it's soaking capacity?
@@PriyaPandey-mj9pz is it more imp than ur health?
I talked about this during my soft skill development program in my college. Many people didn't know. EDCs are harming and the conventional cotton which is used to make cotton pads are most dangerous because huge amount of pesticides are used while growing cotton.
Nikita,
Thank you for such a detailed video. Would be great if you could pin certain Sanitary pad safe for women to use to spread awareness.
I think menstrual cup is a better alternative.
Really,it's the best friend of periods, I'm saying because really once you started using it you'll fall in love with it..
1 disadvantages is inserting the cup sometimes irritate you because it doesn't open properly but you will masterd it when you use it regularly..
It doesn't have wings but it really feels you like you're flying,cause you know the feelings with pad is horrible, everytime you have to check it either it's licking or not,but with menstrual cup you will be free.
Before purchasing just check either it is made of medical grade silicon,that's it..
So , let's switch to menstrual cup girls 😀
This is a serious issue which needs an urgent attention by the government. Good to know about the effects of Phthialates and VOC'S.
Our Nation need Educated people like you 🙏
Thank God I shifted to cups young. I got my first period 4 months before I turned 14, that is 13 years and 8 months. Just 2 years and 1 month later I shifted to cup. That's when I was 15 years and 9 months. Right now I'm 17 years and 7 months old. Cup experience is really good. It's comfortable, 99 percent leakproof, and you don't get that wet feeling of pads.
Menstrual cups are the safest and best. I've been using them since 2012 and my God, my life is positive. And nowadays they're available as low as below 200 rupees. 15 years of safety.

Menstrual cup can cause TSS( toxic shock syndrome ) which is life threatening condition. It's rare . !! But still exist. Because of it many years ago tampons and cups were replaced by pads . When we were in MBBS 2nd year that time we have seen one case and TSS itself is frequently asked question in our exams. Due to its severity.
@@priyadarshinigangwar7228 that happens only if left inside for too long. Cups need to be emptied everyday and can be worn Max for 24 hours at a stretch, not more than that. Tested myself by me hence confirming. Toxic syndrome only happens after you let foreign objects stay within your body for more than 24/48 hours. I've been using cups since 2015, and my friends, since 2017, no one ever faced any issues as we are responsible enough to empty it each and everyday.
I am 50 now and I agree that the word periods were more like a taboo & stigma but a good news too. I grew up with mixed feelings. Lots of superstitious believes are related to it which I struggled & suffered as well.
So certainly, it’s time to break free from such irrational thoughts.
Although, I beg to differ on couple of issues in this video.
Q) Why should the famous sanitary company name it’s product “Whisper”.
A) Because there are few things in humans which is better to keep quiet or whisper.
For example:
a) No one would like to burp or fart in public or amongst relatives.
We like to go hush hush from each other in my family. We taught the same to our kids as well.
b) We don’t announce in public or amongst relatives that one needs to poop or take a leak. It is part of a daily routine.
Above points are almost everyday and lifelong affair so does it mean that we should announce in public?
Similarly menstruation too is a part of almost every woman’s life, with God’s grace! It doesn’t mean that we should celebrate or go announcing through certain rituals the way South Indians do. I never liked that tradition because the privacy of the girl child is gone and after all the rituals they are made to sit in one room in seclusion every month thereafter. How funny it is. I won’t call it a celebration. That child is very conscious and finds it difficult to come out of it. Anyways, you may appreciate it but I don’t.
Q) Why are these companies showing blue liquid on the pad than showing the original blood colour liquid?
A) The answer is simple.
For majority of people blood is never a comfortable sight. Be it because of stabbing, shooting, injury, bruises or a simple cut with knife or blade.
By showing the blue colour they soften the impact specially for very young girls who might find it difficult to accept.
Now if you have problem with blue colour liquid & want the companies to show the original colour then I guess the babies diaper companies too should start showing poop & urine in the diaper in their advertisements. Also the diapers for elderly should also show the same.
Now, how will it look? Good or repulsive?
Also why should we name them Huggies or Pamper. We can’t hug the child with potty or pamper them while passing motion. These diaper companies should name it as potty diapers for babies and elders as well. Why give it a pleasant name.
Let’s make it harsh and crude.
India is known for its diverse culture in Hindu religion itself.
But I fail to understand that the way people of few states celebrates girls menstruation and also pray to Kamakhya Devi; is there any God for celebrating boys hitting puberty as well? Because there is no life without boys cooperation either. So, why boys puberty is not celebrated?
In my opinion this whole process of celebration should stop. It gives quite a tribal effect. Looks like we haven’t evolved yet. These are just simple biological changes in a girl and a boy when they hit puberty.
🙏🏼
Please keep ur stupid opinion upto you. U don't want to celebrate please don't. But do not order others to do so. Let others do wat they want to.
@@khushiparmar1843 your atrocious behaviour seems to be incorrigible!
Anyone who can comprehend well can understand that it is just my opinion not an order.
Also, I have all the rights to express my opinion because this video is in public forum.
If you cannot take criticism in healthy way then that’s your problem.
Control freak! Are you?
You have given such a good explanation regarding to those 2 questions but my question is, is it really dangerous to use normal pads? Are chemical used really unsafe?
@@lami8789 thank you Lami. I too have the similar doubt hence didn’t comment anything on safety.
Although I too have asked the same doubt to one of the commentator named “Naga Lalitha”. Her comment is placed somewhere around 23rd down in the row. She has scientifically explained how unsafe these menstrual cups , pads with gel and tampons are. Since I am not a science student so couldn’t understand much.
I can only apply logic. According to me I have not been able to get convinced about menstrual cups. Simply because it holds the blood inside your body until you throw it. I feel that once the blood is discharged it will start to contaminate because it is no longer inside us. It is almost out. Although there is no contact with air but still my gut feeling is that it doesn’t look safe to me.
With pads, gel based or not, we can change it every 4 to 5 hours which looks more safe to me.
Relatable to your logic👍🏻 Thank you so much.
I'm happy to use menstrual cup since 2018. Easy to use , no more skin rashes and no more again and again changes it🤗
Will it pain??? 🥺🙏

I'm kinda scared of this 😩
I totally agree with her, so I wanna suggest to everyone to Handel this problem please use cotton upon the regular pad becz it reduces the direct contact with the chemicals.
my 1st period experience is very different from the stuff I hear . My mom taught me about these stuff before it happened and she uses cloth but recommended me to use pads (although she uses pads nowadays) I was actually not scared at all and tbh I was actually kinda excited. Well, I'm from Nepal and there is this custom where we can't see our male family member for 1 month when we get our first period and and and 1 week during our second period. Also during that time my younger brother was around 3 or 4 years old so he always ran around the house and two of my cousins were also there during that time, meaning that I would have stay in my room the entire month. I know if it were someone else they would go crazy after 2 days but I, the introverted freak with social anxiety, was having the time of my life. Seriously who WOULDN'T hate that like, 30 days away from society? heck ya!
ps: ofc only a few caste groups follow this tradition so don't think that every nepali family does this lol
Which one is your caste ?
tbh I would love 1 month in my room specialy with no parents interupting on screen time and loads of books to read I assume your parents wouldn't interrupt since you are practically grounded for no good reason
@@riva-j7j girlie we should be besties but my mom would check in every once in a while and I didn't have to go to school cuz of online classes. What a time to be alive
Gurl it's just nothing😅 boys.... It's a society with zero sence period is a natural process where your vagaina releases blood that you didn't need.. When you will give birth you will needed that blood that comes out of our body.... That's means we all made of period blood😅 that our society made it a taboo.. That's why after getting pregnant girls period stops for nine months

@@pratishtha5740 I also want to ask same question ...
@@pratishtha5740 I was scared at first, and didn't insert it properly at first but then I got used to it pretty soon. It is actually comfortable if it is inserted properly, you shouldn't even be able to feel it.
At first you can try it along with a pad if you're afraid of leaks.
It won't get lost in your body, you should be relaxed while putting it in or taking it out.
Can u tell me what is your age and what size of menstrual cup u use? And also how many hours can it hold a heavy flow with lots of clotting
Hii , does it leak while laying down or during night time? Cus mine leaks for both situation , even after making proper seal inside.
According to news articles, there were also organic pads being tested in the study. And these organic pads too were found filled with same toxins (some of these claims to make their pads with bamboo materials). So it's better to switch to menstrual cup or cloth pad available in the market.
Cloth pads bring embarassment
sanitary pads have existed for a while, and it's only now we're finding out it's harmful effects. I'm sure when they were first introduced everyone suggested using them instead of cotton cloth, just like everyone is suggesting to switch to menstrual cups nowadays. I'm pretty sure with time we'll find negative side effects of them too, so ppl shouldn't be so quick to jump to the next new thing in the market I believe, who knows how harmful menstrual cups can be since they're directly inserted into the body. I mean even cigerettes were marketed as healthy and great for you when thet first came out, so much so that they used to show pregnant women smoking cigarettes in the adverts but now we know the reality 😅

Just wanted to share a bit more on the southern culture so that I can clarify it. It may sound a lot like people in the south (regions mentioned by Nikita) are not stereotypical about periods, but in fact it is the south that is most stereotypical I believe. Due to modernisation such thoughts have lessened a lot, but in my family and all the relatives I know, when you get your first period, you are supposed to sit in the corner of the house and no one is supposed to touch you until you complete 11 days. You are not even allowed to move out of the corner for the first five days. You might think that it is probably only for the first period, but no. When you get your period every month, like find out that you are on your period, you are not supposed to touch any cloth item in the house. You head straight to the washroom and take a full on shower regardless of the time. If you are not at home but out, you can act normally but once you reach home you follow the same drill. You are also strictly not allowed to touch any god related holy items if you are a Hindu until your period is done with. Yah, it gets a bit tough for us some times, but still, we consider it to be culture and respect it because, well, thats the only way to protect out culture I suppose.
I got my 1st period at my cousin wedding I have no clue what's wrong with me but thank god my 1 sister told me about it she gave me pads and make me understand it is normal ☺☺

When I was a kid I was too curious to know about everything , when the ads came on TV I asked my family members about every product which I didn't know and they used to explain me but when it came to the Sanitary Pads ads they just ignored me and later on the only product which looked in TV ads only pads were the one which I didn't know.

I switched to homemade pads made of organic cotton and trust me guys it is so helpful and easy to wear.Everyone is turning to ancient ways of using everything bcs they are the most safe.. I don't understand the taboo of following our ancestors way of homemade cloth pads just bcs they seemed backwards and we are obsessed with looking feeling and using modern chemicals filled hazardous sanitary napkins....
Homemade cloth pads were comfortable for women in that time bcz they did not go outside for working or higher education... Cloth pads can be safe but what about the side leakage.. And in terms of heavy flow with these cloth pads it will be disastrous for women working outside
@@MiskatulMim Sanitary napkins also cause leakage...We have to change then atleast 2 times a day plus we have to face itching irritation and hormonal imbalances bcs of it.
Whereas cloth pads are safe and if made in thick layers and worn correctly during starting days can help to soak maximum,doesn't cause itching and above all they ate super natural and chemical free!.Thts y switch to cloth pads and dispose them after use.
Homemade pads cause leakage. And washing it is a hell lot of trouble.

cloths are very inconvenient to use at school or work, theres no place to wash or store them
Yes we are with you and Influence this topic as we can because it's so..... Concerning. They are playing with our HEALTH and also with our ENVIRONMENT.
It's more scary when you watch this while having your periods
😭 samee
Even after knowing and experiencing irritation, allergies and other infections still we can't help but use it, as it's the only best option...Tampons and cups are not everyone is comfortable with
Cloth pads exist and they are completely safe
@@shahi7879 yeah but leakage problem :(

I use relatively tight ( not too much) granny pants with thick white pure cotton fabric, cut in large rectangular pieces which can be folded at least 4 times. After using it for 3-5 hours( at sleeping time i use much thicker wad of cloth ), i replace it with a fresh one and keep the soiled one in zip locked plastic bag (not one time use plastic) in my purse. When i return home, i soak the soiled ones in hydrogen peroxide and wash in soapy hot water. They turn up perfectly clean and odorless. This literally saves thousands of rupees and not to mention it saves me from exposure to chemicals, and is super environment frendly. 1.5 meters of cloth lasts me at least 18 to 20 months! I don't lead a very active lifestyle so this works for me. Hope other girls find it useful as well!❤❤
I switched to menstrual cups 5 years ago and never looked back and have been actively persuading every young women in my life to atleast give it a try once. However my bestie's body literally rejected it, evenif she wanted to use it so badly. She even missed her periods as a reaction. Our vaginas have a mind of its own and sometimes they'll just have sensitivity issues to things. When we are promoting alternate menstrual products, its very important to acknowledge the people who have had bad experiences to certain products and let it be very clear that some products might not be suitable for everyone. Eventhough the possibility of your body rejecting it shouldn't make you too scared to atleast giving it a try, you have to be mindful, listen to and respect your body's reaction.
Don't be discouraged if one product doesn't work out, there are multiple different safe and environmentally responsible option for menstrual products out there.
Menstrual cups are no better, they’re made of plastics, you’re keeping plastic inside you for days, that’s even dumber🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@basicbase749 Who told you that menstrual cups are made of plastic? So you don't know the difference between plastic and medical grade silicone? You know what's the dumbest thing here is, your assumption that everything clear is not plastic. Next time, don't be so sure about your assumptions and google before you showcase your ignorance.
@@basicbase749 silicon ke hote h
Mam I can't insert it, pls suggest
@@basicbase749 yk whats even dumber than your opinion? you.
It's a very important topic, by Bestfriend yesterday told me she have periods today...
But I don't know what to say on this, I just told "Chinta mat Karo tumhe Jo bi help chaiye ya achha n lage muze batao"
Guys you told me what I need to say or do
This is actually really traumatizing after getting to know about this.....we can't let ourselves and our own women suffer as cancer is not just a disease but a BIG term that can destroy lives completely. As a girl I haven't hesitated but shared this with everyone whether girl or boy as it is important knowledge to all.....I hope humanity finds another way to help our us womens with periods without causing harm to us.....
बोहोत ही गंभीर विषय पर आपने वीडियो बनाया हे जिसके लिए आपकी जितनी प्रशांशा की जाये उतना कम हे
पर मेरा एक सवाल हे जैसे की लड़कियों क़े लिए पेड़ उपयोग करना खतरनाक हे और पर्यावरण केलिए भी तो क्या जो छोटे बच्चों को dyapr काजो उपयोग होता हे वह भी उनके स्वस्थ के लिए हानिकारक हे?
In Assam also we celebrate frst period. It's as grand as marriage celebrations. The girl gets ready as a bride and people gifts her several things..We call it "tuloni biya"
Even in Kerala there is Bhagavati temple near chenganur where goddess menstruates and it is celebrated...
Thank you for sharing such a vital information. This will help a lot of my close ones to take better decision for their health.
Thank God you shared this information, my periods started in 2023 only, now I will try to spread this message to others too to save them
Thannk God I have recently switched to mensural cup... And wonderfully it also lessen my cramps as compare to sanitary pads and make me feel super dry snd normal like others days... But it taken me couple of months to use it properly and that's normal..
But menstrual cups are so difficult to use.
@@cutegirlhythm I also find it super difficult at first but over time I'm able to understand it.... Find the right size for you and always relax (neither scare nor get over excited) take time to insert(mine over a min) don't force it like little push and let it merge inside you, its often painful at first but when you master it you won't find any problem, it's messy sometimes but I'm ok with it.. Talk with someone you find comfortable about it detail description help gain courage to use it.. 😁
@@nyx8.6 oh thanks a lot for this...I will try and find it more about it
If a woman is not allergic to silicone in that case manstrual cup are the best option. 👍🏻
Our Health is Worst in World 🙏😭😭 Lalu Yadav and Rakhi sawant is Suffering Pain Cancer 😭😭🙏We are Last in Health Index , .Highest Disease (Rog) बीमारी रोग Death .. This Area ,Desh ..

Yeah right
I'm not using sanitary pads and i request all the ladies not to use it instead use cotton reusable pads 👍which are good for ur health as well as the environment 🙏🤗
The day I started using menstrual cup I have never faced any difficulty and never looked back to use sanitary pads again.. I would advice every girl to use menstrual Cup instead of pad for the sake of our environment and our body too❤❤
I told my mom about it , and guys this is what she told , "I have been using for years nothing happens and all are myths " , then I told her , that ki we can use organic pads and then she told , ''money doesn't grow on trees,'' I was so upset that my own parents aren't cautious about my and even their own health ...this is the mentality of INDIAN PARENTS
Indians will use lakhs on festivals but can't spend some extra for health Indian society is just bullshit
Don't blame ur parent. Even you would do the same if you had been in their place. And also don't label "Indian parents". Not all indian parents are like urs
@@khushiparmar1843 but she is not wrong either
@@khushiparmar1843 first-i would not do anything like that to my children
Second- i am talking about the majority
You are right toxic indian parents
Now a days sanitary napkins are available online and also sanitary panties and both of them are really good and hygienic their little costly but it can be washed and reused so it is better than pads.
We appreciate you di bcz literally nobody is talking about it. The basic fundamental need of women and if we(specially boy) talk about this then this society told how devil you are.
I read about this news in November and literally I have tears in my eyes as what will now our women(mother, wife, daughter) use? 🥺. Thanks for some natural and safe pads' brands that you suggest in last.
Hopefully government will take certain steps.
Nobody will call you devil, some stupid boys might make fun of you or some stupid girls might suggest you not to get involved in women's privacy bla bla bla but believe me you are an angel if you are really concerned. I even got called by a boy in chats that period pain is fake & if I am having pain then I have some health issue & should consult a doctor, so it's true some boys are actually ignorant but won't take a second to call women gold digger 😒.
We need more guys like you :)
Nobody makes fun dude there are some gawar chapri guys who might make fun but dont listen to them.
Wtf is 'di' simply didi nhi likh skta.'Di' likhne se zada cool lagega kya gawar sale 🐒
I want to tell that there are few people like you in society. You are really an angel. May god bless you 🙏🏻. I feel really happy that boys like you also exist. Society feels more safe than.
Thanks for existing man. 🙏🏻
I hope this video has been viewed by officials from Government of India,!!!! Such an important topic, Thanks for sharing
great video
but
1. the reusable pads not efficient while traveling
2. switch to menstrual cups or disks
its wayyyyyyy too better and also hella comfortable
For real ✨
This is alright but could you also please link the sources to the video description as well
Also in Odisha , our first period is celebrated as a special ritual.I have also experienced it.
Great video, thanks for making this. Do we have any information about these chemicals being used for diapers?! Cannot imagine this to be good for young kids!
