The Role of Social Media in Promoting Awareness About Reusable Pads

Imagine a 15-year-old girl named Aisha in Malaysia, nervously scrolling through her social media feed, hoping to find something that addresses her concerns about her first period. She stumbles upon a post about reusable sanitary pads—a product she didn’t know existed. The post not only introduces her to the concept of eco-friendly sanitary pads but also offers advice on menstrual health. This simple moment marks the beginning of her journey toward informed period care. Social media platforms have become powerful tools for raising awareness about menstrual health and sustainable options like reusable pads. With the ability to reach millions, social media can educate teenagers like Aisha, along with men and women who support the women in their lives, about the benefits of reusable sanitary pads and how they contribute to both health and the environment.
