Menstrual Health is Five Decades of a Woman’s Life

Our Journey

Over the past three years, we have been on an incredible journey, focusing on menstrual health through every stage of life. We’ve gone way beyond just menstrual hygiene, offering deep, comprehensive education and unwavering support.

We’ve had the privilege of connecting with all sorts of people—students, teachers, corporate teams, and the trans community. Each interaction has helped us build understanding and spark empowerment. We’ve tackled the tricky parts of menarche and puberty with care, providing essential knowledge about menstruation and menstrual products.

We’ve also addressed significant issues like hormonal imbalances and conditions like PCOS PCOD, endometriosis. And our support doesn’t stop there. We’re dedicated to guiding you through menopause and beyond, ensuring you have continuous support throughout your reproductive health journey.

Looking back on our journey, our personal mission has become even more clear: to break barriers, champion holistic health, and fight for equal menstrual health education and access for all.
