#VocalforLocal! Indian menstrual brands to vow by for Organic feminine needs!

Talking about menstrual hygiene has been a taboo for quite some time in India. With passing time, the cinema started addressing the issue openly and brought some change with it. The menstrual range is not just limited to basic sanitary napkins now, it has become an industry in itself with various products from menstrual cups to tampons, to panty liners. One concern that has multiplied with time was the disposal of sanitary pads. Now, a few Indian menstrual brands have chosen to go all organic with their range of products. If you want to shift to organic sanitary, look no further!
