A sanitary pad or menstrual pad is an absorbent item worn by a woman
while she is menstruating or in any other situation where it is
necessary to absorb a flow of blood from the v*gina.
Women have continued to raise concern over the pace of increase in the price of Sanitary pads, especially in Nigeria.
According to Vivian Gist Nigeria findings, the Always Ultra which sells for N250 now goes for 400.
From
findings, hike in prices of sanitary towels may be connected to recent
inflation in prices of commodities and the dollar-naira crisis in the
country.
The cheapest pad, DIVA now goes for 230 naira at the market as against the initial price of 180 naira.
The
sudden hike, experts believed may affect personal hygiene of young
girls and poor women most especially in the rural areas who may not be
able to afford these sanitary towels.
