A REVIEW ON VARIOUS BIODEGRADABLE HERBAL MATERIALS USED FOR SANITARY HYGIENE PRODUCTS.

Due to a shortage of accessible, inexpensive hygiene products, girls in low- and middle-income countries struggle to maintain proper menstrual hygiene. The success of girls' education and gender equality in low-income situations might be hampered by a lack of affordable and trustworthy health goods, which can result inabsences from school. Sanitary napkins are specialised textile items that women use to collect menstrual fluids in a hygienic manner when they are menstruating. Additionally, a lack of adequate disposal facilities may cause environmental contamination and social irritation. The majority of South Korean women use sanitary pads that can be voided before and during menstruation and contain different organic solvents. However, they have not been given access to research on the consequences of sanitary pads on health. Menstrual pads are menstrual hygiene products that are worn externally, unlike menstrual tampons and cups that are worn inside the vagina. This simple study of physical materials from a technical point of view could increase school attendance, improve the level of education achieved by girls, and be a key step in achieving gender equality in low- and middle- income countries if it is further studied from the perspective of social sciences and policies. This article focuses on utilizing various environmentally friendly biodegradable materials for making sanitary napkin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
