Menstrual health practices among Tibetan women: An ethnographic participant observation study
Tibetan women showed neutral to positive sentiments towards menstruation. Most participants reflected comfort and calmness through non-verbal communication and body language during their periods. They showcased responsible behaviour in the disposal of used sanitary products. Tibetan-in-exile women emphasized the need for privacy and space to manage hygiene during periods.
