General information
- Washable sanitary pad for women menstrual hygiene, usually distributed in a hygiene set with underwear and other essential items. See Menstrual hygiene management kit, reusable pads: MHM kit, reusable pads
- Consultations with women and girls of the target group should always guide the selection of any hygiene, dignity, or menstrual hygiene-related items.
- Define with the target group already at the program design stage on how the distributions (in-kind or through vouchers) should best be organized, to allow unrestricted access, safety, and an appropriate level of information.
- In water-scarce regions, washing clothes or reusable pads may be challenging due to the lack of water, whereas in transit situations, where women and girls are frequently on the move, reusable pads may not be practical.
- The quantity of reusable/washable pads to be distributed will depend on the quality of the materials used (absorption capacity, drying rate, etc)
