WASH Booklet for Children

Menstrual hygiene is very important for girls to stay healthy and comfortable during their periods. In India, it is important to use clean sanitary pads and change them regularly to avoid any infections. It is also a good idea to wash your hands after changing your pad. Wearing clean clothes and underwear is also important. Sometimes, girls may feel shy or uncomfortable talking about their periods, but it's really helpful to talk to your mother or another trusted adult. Your mother can help you understand your body better and give you useful advice about how to stay clean and healthy during your periods. Remember, periods are a natural part of growing up, and it’s important to take care of yourself during this time.
