To examine the social, educational, and material challenges surrounding menstrual hygiene management and sanitary waste disposal among females in developing countries.
Conducted a narrative literature review evaluating menstrual awareness, hygiene practices, access to sanitary materials, and disposal habits in developing nations.
Inaccurate menstrual knowledge and prohibitive product costs drive widespread reliance on unhygienic reusable cloths, elevating the risk of reproductive tract infections.
Improper disposal practices, such as flushing pads or discarding them in domestic waste, cause sewage blockages and severe environmental contamination.
Identified critical solutions including waste-reducing incineration technologies and affordable, biodegradable pads derived from natural materials like banana fiber, bamboo, and water hyacinth.
