I have seen improvised ones and trust me they can be extremely embarrassing in case of.... It's reason girls opt to stay away from school.Just imagine what would happen in times of sports? hygiene? odours? you need to be a girl to really feel their pain and stress-how abt infections and irritations? do they even have abundant water to take care of this?

It is an uncomfortable time for all so not having pads is not the issue. They can take it easy and not engage in sports during that time. What I am opposed to is making it a government problem.
