  • What is in a upendo dignity kit
  • Our Solutions

Compostable Anandi Pads

Anandi pads are compostable due to the fact that they are capable of disintegrating into natural elements in a compost environment. This usually occurs within 90-180 days depending on varying environmental factors. Additionally, the materials used to produce our Anandi pad ensure that no toxicity is left in the soil.

The Upendo dignity kit items include:

  • 2 pairs panties/underwear
  • 2 waterproof shields
  • 8 reusable pads
  • Soap
  • Washcloth
  • Bucket
  • A drawstring bag
  • Ziploc Bag to carry soiled items

And finally a booklet explaining how to use and care for the products as well as understanding menstruation.

What is a menstrual cup and how to use it?

Menstrual cup is a bell shaped container made of soft rubber or silicone that is used to collect menstrual fluid. A menstrual cup is used by inserting it into the vagina and leaving it there. If properly inserted, the rim of the cup forms a seal with the walls of the vagina to prevent leakage. Menstrual cup should be changed after every 12 hours. To pull it out of the vagina, the stem at the base of the cup needs to be held tightly between the thumb and the index finger and pulled out. After disposing off the menstrual fuild, the cup can be rinsed with water and reused. Once your period is over, the cup can be reused for the next cycle after cleaning the cup with boiled water and drying it.
