A period (menstruation) is normal vaginal bleeding that occurs every month for a person with a womb and ovaries. While menstrual products are hygienic products such as (sanitary pads, menstrual cups, tampons, reusable pads) used to collect a monthly flow of blood.

Period poverty occurs when someone cannot afford proper menstrual products. Period poverty is an extension of widespread poverty in Nigeria with over 40% of people living in poverty which amounted to approximately 83 million people, according to Statista. Priority is not given to educating young girls about their bodies and menstrual hygiene when they are only concerned about daily survival.

On average, women are on their period for about five days and use about three pads a day, a packet of 10 sanitary pads costs between N400 and N2,000, and women might need more than a packet for a month depending on the menstrual flow. A major cause of period poverty is the high cost of menstrual products. Many young women are strongly affected.

I wonder why no one has invented something better than those pads. Pretty sure if men were menstruating we would have found a better solution.

Just sayin.
