Make “that time of the month”
hygienic, stress-free and environment-friendly
for a underprivileged women
"That time of the month"
“That time of the month” as most of us prefer to indicate our periods cycle is one of the most difficult times for almost all women. The physical discomfort, the PMS, frequent trips to the loo, rashes, bloating, and fear of staining – all add up to make it a miserable experience. While women are already undergoing all these, they also have to take care of hygiene and cleanliness.
One of the basic needs for all females who have attained puberty is sanitary pads, an agreed upon fact. Though a widely used product, sanitary pads have its own demerits related to health and environment.
At Happiness Acts Trust along with the partnership with Nari-Yari, we endeavor to change a vital factor in this equation by encouraging women to move from a single-use disposable pad to a reusable medical-grade silicone menstrual cup. We want to direct women towards a safer menstrual cycle by protecting them from the myriad of chemicals present in sanitary napkins.
THE PROBLEM WITH SANITARY PAD
Money spent on sanitary pads in 10 years is ₹12000-45000
A woman uses 10-15 sanitary pads per period x 12 months x 35 yrs> = appx 6000 disposable sanitary pads in a lifetime!
Most of the sanitary waste is disposed in open landfills in unsanitary conditions
For safe disposal, sanitary napkin waste needs to incinerated at temperatures > 800˚C

ABOUT NARI-YARI
Nari-Yari is a brainchild of two environmentalists – Nisha Bellare and Latha Krishna with the objective to uphold women health and hygiene while reducing the impact of sanitary waste on the environment. While diving for a solution, they not only came across the adverse effects of sanitary waste, but were shocked to see the harmful chemicals present in a seemingly safe sanitary pad like dioxin that can cause abnormal tissue growth in reproductive organs.
Thus, was born Nari-Yari, a proud Made in India brand that manufactures, markets and sells menstrual cups, a hygiene product for women (Nari) which is healthy, environment-friendly (Yari), and stress-free. The menstrual cups are made of medical grade silicone and have been tested and approved to be free from cytotoxicity and vaginal irritation under ISO 10993-10: 2010 (E), ISO 10993-5: 2009(E).
