Health Experts Highlight Importance of Sanitary Pad Top-Sheets for Menstrual Hygiene

Health experts emphasize the importance of the top-sheet—the upper layer of sanitary pads—in maintaining menstrual hygiene and preventing irritation and infections. While absorbency is often prioritized, the top-sheet's breathability and chemical composition significantly affect skin comfort and health, especially in hot, humid climates like India. Experts recommend choosing soft, breathable, and dermatologically safe pads and changing them regularly. Moringa-based top-sheets are noted for their potential antimicrobial and soothing properties.
