Lore of Sanitary Napkins

1 min readJan 6, 2025

More than a decade ago, I would stop looking at TV and act busy on the arrival of blue lagoon cocktail demonstration on a sanitary pad, knowing there’s something significant to it and I don’t know it yet.

If I were to name a brand, I would rather name it Shout.

Women wearing white deliberately and going hiking?

Advertising a pad as x% longer is ridiculous, it’s not a chocolate bar, people have got to use size as per their requirement.

With orange packs of strong smell dominating the market alongside Stayfree and Sofy, my mom would make Whisper my only option.

Last year, I bought Nua after a long fight in my head regarding the price. The variable sizing and aesthetic packaging made period care a luxury.

I thought my search was over until Plush(Your Period of Comfort) caught my eye in a supermarket. No harsh chemicals, no perfume and environment friendly. It read on the box-

For a woman who’s already made a hundred difficult decisions, we want to be an easy one.

And that’s it. I fell for it.

Brownie points for these being Indian companies! There are many such companies now(I guess) and that means more choices. No more whispering:)

Just my views. Why write this? Because I bleed about five days a month and anything that makes it better is worth sharing. And I believe words are powerful.
