Abstract

Menstruation is most often taken as a taboo in India. Women are hesitant to share their thoughts or experiences about it. It is considered to be impure and women are restricted to participate in normal day-to-day activities. Many women lack knowledge about menstrual hygiene and menstrual hygiene products. Although the study revealed that urban women were able to recognize their menstrual pattern and maintain their personal hygiene with the help of Sanitary Pads, the fact remains that such disposable menstrual hygiene products can pose serious health problems to women and are proven to be hazardous for our environment. To counter these issues, a host of new eco-friendly, sustainable and cost-effective goods have recently entered the Indian markets; Menstrual Cup is one such product. This research focused on the attitude, perception, beliefs towards menstruation and menstrual cups among millennial women in Bengaluru. This descriptive study explains how much the myths and taboos have stereotyped the perception towards menstruation and menstrual cups.
