Revolutionising period care with sustainable, biodegradable solutions that prioritise comfort, performance, and affordability.
“For an average of 30 years, starting from puberty, sanitary pads are a vital need, yet according to the World Bank, a staggering 500 million women and girls lack access to these basic menstrual products. In Kenya alone, this number climbs to a shocking 65%. This lack of access has far-reaching consequences – decreased school attendance, dropouts, and even a rise in teenage pregnancy due to girls being forced to trade sex for sanitary pads.”
Our sanitary pads are crafted from eco-friendly bagasse, a sugarcane byproduct, and bioplastic derived from cactus.
This not only empowers women but also promotes environmental sustainability.
SANIKEN’s pads will be readily available for purchase at our own shop, local stores, supermarkets, and even schools.
Our pads are crafted from bagasse, a sugarcane byproduct, and bioplastic derived from cactus. This makes them eco-friendly and significantly reduces their environmental footprint compared to traditional plastic-based pads.
These pads won’t linger in landfills for centuries. They are designed to decompose naturally within one year, minimizing waste and contributing to a healthier planet.
Despite their eco-friendly composition, our pads won’t compromise on performance. We prioritize comfort, absorbency, and leak protection to ensure a worry-free period experience.
We will employ eco-friendly manufacturing processes that minimize energy consumption and water usage.
We utilize biodegradable packaging materials for their products to further reduce waste.
We also educate consumers about the environmental impact of disposable products and the benefits.
