Napkins are manufactured in high cost machines only. The cost of the machine is about 75 lacs to 2.5 crores. These machines are generally run by multinational companies only. By seeing the napkins whiteness, people who are interested to make these napkins feel that the material used for napkin manufacture is cotton. They used viscose cloth to wrap the cotton. The cotton has a tendency to absorb the liquid, but is releases under slightest pressure or sqeeze,Due to this simple reason acceptability and salability became tougher which led to collapse of these industries. But on automated plant big companies are not using cotton instead they are using wood pulp. Wood pulp and non woven fabrics are generally procured in roll forms that can be processed on high cost machines only. The nature of the wood pulp is that it will absorb and retain the liquid even under pressure .This would give a dry feel to the user. Thus users are satisfied. Now by this just Rs.75,000 worth new invention mini sanitary napkin unit that runs on simple technology can be process the wood pulp and the non woven fabric , and even a rural women can manufacture superior saleable napkins at a fraction of cost compared to big company manufacturing units.
Tangible benefits:
The average income of women became Rs. 2000-3500/month. Generally in rural areas cloth is being used during the menstrual periods. Due to this unhygienic method used by rural women lead to fungal infection and may sometime worsen to uterus cancer in women. Even adolescent girls got affected by this unhygienic practice. The reason is that even that they know about the sanitary napkin the cost of the napkins manufactured by multinationals was not affordable. In this situation with this mini sanitary napkin unit, napkins can be manufactured at low costs (50%less) without compromising the quality of the napkin. Thus napkins manufactured on this low cost unit are easily saleable in rural areas. These will a boon for women self help groups and women entrepreneurs in rural and urban areas also.

  • I am an active member of FPA Jamshedpur,,,,,,we have machine for sterilisation, but we want to know details of producing low cost sanitary napkins so that  lower income group women also can use hygenic sanitary pads.

  • Hi, I very much appreciate your idea & efforts put behind this project & wish you success.

    I've following suggestions to u. (These r applicable to compete with the J&J and p&G) 1) designing different napkin shapes like the big ones does.

    2) Improving napkin pack cover. 3) Promoting this with urban gals so that it can spread like a wildfire (Not by spending millions of rupees through advertisements).

    N.B:- Please provide hand gloves and nose protector to protect employees from dust or allergy.

  • Muruganadham, just saw your speech, wonderful man, only few like you can make difference in this world.
