Our Chairperson, Tshepi, recently had an interview with Chai FM regarding concerns around certain sanitary pad products. The discussion was prompted by a study conducted by the University of the Free State (UFS), which highlighted that some products may contain substances that could potentially affect the reproductive system or disrupt hormones.

During the interview, Tshepi emphasized the importance of consumer awareness, transparency from manufacturers, and stricter quality control to ensure that products designed for women’s health are safe. She also encouraged women to stay informed, read product labels carefully, and support further independent research into menstrual health products.

This conversation is an important step toward protecting women’s reproductive health and advocating for safer, more transparent production standards.
