CHAPTER 1 The Problem and its setting

Introduction

Sanitary napkins are used by women during their menstruation. It is a pad used to absorb blood discharging from the vagina. It is also called sanitary towel, sanitary pad, menstrual pad or pad. After using it, sanitary napkins are thrown away and not meant to be kept.

Menstruation is the regular flow of blood and mucous membrane from the endometrium through the vagina. It is also called monthly period. This process is just natural to girls. It is not considered as disorder or symptoms of disease. This process is necessary in the female body to eliminate excess iron, reduces blood pressure and flushes bacteria out of the reproductive system, serving as a form of shield from Sexually Transmitted Diseases and infertility.

In the earlier ages, women used rag or folded cloth to absorb their menstrual flow. Disposable menstrual pads were first used to stop the wounded soldiers from bleeding until they were developed to sanitary napkins we had today. Modern sanitary napkins are easier and more comfortable to use compared to rags and folded cloth. But comfortability always comes with a price.

The main problems of girls during their menstrual period was itchiness and having leaks. Girls are already suffering from menstrual cramps, and now they have to suffer these? The two were results from using modern sanitary napkins. The researcher wants to know which brand of napkin is better in avoiding these two specific problems.

The researcher wants to help the girls to choose the perfect brand of napkin that would support their needs. She understands their pain and suffering and she wants to give aid to them as much as she can. Knowing the brand that outstand the other brands might just save the girls who always experience discomfort during their menstrual period.
