18-year-old girl makes reusable sanitary pads


Ishana is a young entrepreneur who makes reusable sanitary pads made of poplin cloth. A pack of six can last for a year, she says.
Not a graduate, not an entrepreneur but Ishana has become an icon of Coimbatore. The 18-year-old resident of Ganapathy has proved her social responsibility by manufacturing ‘reusable sanitary napkins’ made of poplin cloth (a variety of cotton fabric). This is a revolutionary step taken against profit mongering companies, which produce sanitary pads at a high cost.
