A Jaipur woman named Sunita Sharma, popularly known as the 'Pad Woman', has developed affordable biodegradable sanitary pads. Sunita's startup, Elite, makes pads using banana stem fibre and American cotton, offering higher absorbency than plastic-based pads. "I have...found that in many rural and tribal areas, women still rely on cloth, leaves, or unsafe materials during menstruation," she said.
