It is good to know thatva team of students have taken the initiative to help their fellows.
I haven't researched on the matter myself but a friend of mine, who was a pharmacy student, told me that a piece of fabric is a better choice than the sythetic pads for menstruation. According to her, these pads, due to the use of chemicals in them are becoming a reason to damage women's health even to the extent of causing cancers.
I think that was what informed their decision to do this. Thanks for supporting .
