Abstract

The menstrual cycle is an integral part of a woman’s life, often accompanied by discomfort and annoyance. Traditional synthetic sanitary napkins pose health and environmental risks, leading to various diseases and skin issues. This study proposes using natural fibres like banana, bamboo, cotton, flax, jute, and hemp, supplemented with herbal finishes, as alternatives to synthetic materials in sanitary napkins. Current review concerns the all problems and disadvantages of materials that are used to make sanitary napkins for commercial purpose. So here is the summarization of all the data that mainly focused on natural sources of fibre and its application in sanitary napkins. Natural fibre is more advantageous than synthetic and easy to commercialise.
