Gone are the days when women had to rely on a single cloth to manage their menstrual cycle. With the passage of time, women now have access to a variety of menstrual hygiene products that help manage their period while reducing the risk of infection. Whether it's a sanitary napkin, a tampon, or a menstrual cup, having a range of period care essentials in your kit is essential. While pads are ideal for daily use, tampons can prove to be reliable when taking a dip in the pool. When going for a hike, menstrual cups can be your best travel companion.
I recently received a menstrual care gift hamper from Amrutanjan Health Care, which included several period products that can come in handy in different situations. Here are the essential period hygiene products that every woman must have:
Sanitary napkins, or pads, are designed to absorb menstrual blood. They're rectangular in shape and attach to the inside of underwear. Pads come in various styles, including super, slender, overnight, scented, maxi, and mini. Amrutanjan's pads stand out for their extra-long, wide, and thick design, which effectively absorbs heavy menstrual flow.
Unlike pads, tampons are inserted into the vagina. They're made of absorbent material compressed into a small tube and come in various sizes and absorbencies to accommodate different flow levels. I used Amrutanjan’s tampon on the first day of my period, which unfortunately coincided with Holi. Fortunately, the highly absorbent tampon effectively soaked up the heavy blood flow, letting me enjoy Holi without any leakage.

Similar to a tampon, a menstrual cup is inserted into the vagina, but it works differently. Rather than absorbing menstrual blood, the cup collects it, preventing it from flowing out of the vagina. Made from flexible materials like rubber or silicone, menstrual cups offer a unique and effective way to manage menstruation.
