Evolution of Sanitary Pads in India

“I am on the rag” are the words we are unfamiliar with, but for our ancestors these words ring a bell, because, those “rags” came to their rescue during every cycle. Yes, women in the past used rags as sanitary napkins. Interestingly, it wasn’t a woman who turned the tables on this one; it was her man! Arunachalam Muruganantham, the visionary pioneer is the person who revolutionised the holy grail for Indian women without which a female can’t survive “that time of the month”. Arunchalam Muruganantham was a simple man from extremely humble background who changed the “rag” to a “pad”. Of course, he didn’t need one. He was simply trying to impress the love of his life and his motivation was her comfort and her well-being. His creation wasn’t perfect in the first attempt although his intentions were unparalleled. Carrying forward the same intentions and importance for the wholesome well-being of a menstruating female, The Woman’s Company took the market for feminine hygiene products by a storm offering “rescuers” to bring comfort and ease to millions of women every day, every month! 

Today, the options are endless but it wasn’t always like this. An average consumer would find plethora of options and often get confused about which product would suit their needs the best. From eco-conscious sanitary pads to extra-absorbent to sanitary pads with neem and safflower to floral pads or ultra-thin natural sanitary napkins to super soft black sanitary pads to ultra-leak lock gel pads. Alternatively, menstrual cup, tampons (with & without applicator), period underwear etc. can easily throw a woman off balance when all she is looking for is comfortable, hassle free and reliability period care products. 

Stress not! because we, at the Woman’s Company have heard your silent whispers and we bring you the ultimate saviours for a stress-free “that time of the month” with our tailor-made, organic and hygienic products that cater to your needs and those of the environment too. Embodying the adage, “simple living and high thinking”, we want to let you out on a secret you already know- all one needs is a simple organic cotton pad.
