Improvements to Eco-Friendly Sanitary Napkins Made from Natural fibres: Development and Characterization
Three sanitary napkin types produced from natural fibers were put through a rigorous evaluationprocess to determine their performance attributes in this study. In order to give a thoroughunderstanding of their absorbency, retention, rewet resistance, and leakage prevention capabilities,these napkins had different core compositions and top layers. The outcomes showed that although allthe variations had different advantages and disadvantages, Sample S3, which had a bamboo-flax-hempcore, was the best performer. It had remarkable absorbency and retention, even though it slightly rewetunder load. Sample S1 excelled in absorbency and dryness, while Sample S2 showed balancedperformance. These results highlight the significance of customizing the composition of sanitarynapkins to individual user preferences while maintaining an environmentally and biodegradably soundframework. Textiles play an essential role in assisting women in their struggle against numerousbarriers. Women's health and hygiene are supported by absorbent hygiene, an essential type of medicaltextiles, particularly during the menstrual cycle, which presents several challenges for women. In orderto make sanitary napkins more affordable, this research focuses on changing natural fibres to makethem appropriate for use in them. This aids in breaking into the rural women's market, assisting thewomen in adapting to the physiological changes occurring during these vulnerable days, allowing themto make their vitalizing contributions to society with greater flair.
