Reusable Sanitary Pads made by Guwahati girls

In what could be termed as a commendable initiative, the local girls studying and working at Parijat Academy, Guwahati have come up with the initiative of making reusable sanitary pads.

Parijat Academy is distributing free sanitary pads among village women to create awareness about women health and hygiene.

The pads are priced cheaper than other pads available in the market and can be reused after washing properly.

Speaking to G Plus, Uttam Teron of Parijat Academy said, "The pads are made of pure cotton. The idea was first shared with us by a group of social workers from Floyd, USA. The pads are priced much cheaper. The larger pads come for Rs 110 and the smaller size for Rs 80."
