About Striyasha: The research is all about creating an effective Sanitary product. It was customised and named as Striyasha, which means a ray of hope for women. These pads are made up from waste materials like jute fibres from waste gunny bags and waste cotton from mattresses. These raw materials were sterilised in autoclave machine before using. The autoclave machine was attached with the Solar panel. The entire project was made absolutely sustainable by using Solar Energy to run the machine. A thorough research was conducted on the absorbent materials. The best suitable materials were selected for Striyasha pads. The different layers of these absorbent materials were arranged differently. Their Absorbency Test was conducted. The best series of layers; i.e, Cotton + Jute + Cotton was selected. The Striyasha pads has a uniquely designed shape drawn by using a special stencil. These pads were compared with commercial products in several domains like Liquid Absorbency Angle Test, Absorbency Time Test, Total bacterial count, Cost and Polymer Test. A proper survey also was done on Menstrual Cups and Tampons. The survey helped us in evaluating the efficiency of both the mentioned products. After the making of Striyasha pads, they were distributed amongst the needy masses. For this, we took help of Dr. Pradip Joshi. He helped us to reach out post natal mothers, female patients, teenage girls, etc. Our Striyasha sanitary napkins were proved to be efficient in most of the aspects. All the tests were conducted at a reputed Analytical laboratory. The product is applied for the Trademark ™️ to make it customised.
