Price of sanitary pads soars as world marks menstrual hygiene day

Andile Tshuma, Chronicle Reporter THE price of sanitary wear in the country has gone beyond the reach of many and a number of women and children have resorted to unorthodox ways of managing their periods. This comes at a time when the world is marking World Menstrual Hygiene Management Day which falls on May 28. Most of the common sanitary pads brands in the country are imported and the closure of borders has resulted in the soaring of prices in the country. Low priced sanitary pads are scarce and most shops have stocked expensive brands, such as Cortex, which costs about $120 for a pack of 10, way beyond the reach of many women. Women who spoke to Chronicle said they could no longer afford to buy pads and had resorted to using random pieces of cloth or sewing cloth sanitary napkins.
