8 Years of Empowering Queens 💜💚

Today, we celebrate 8 incredible years of QueenPads! 🎉👑

What began as an attempt to address a personal challenge has grown into a purpose-driven movement addressing menstrual needs reaching tens of thousands of Queens across our communities - one product, one awareness session, one school and one community program at a time.

For 8 years, we have believed that every young girl and woman deserves to manage her period with dignity, confidence and without shame.

To everyone who has supported us, every customer who has chosen QueenPads, every partner, advocate, community, school, organisation and individual who has walked alongside us — thank you 🙏

It is evident that thousands of women and young girls in the wider communities of our country still lack access to basic hygiene knowledge, hence manage themselves with poor hygiene practices that costs their health.

And while some of our cultural beliefs and practices may not allow for such sensitive conversations, we are grateful to community leaders and women themselves who make an effort to learn as they understand the importance of having such conversations.

Our awareness team with tireless efforts continue to normalise Menstrual conversations in rural communities, and recognising women and young girls as Queens always put a smile on their faces. And the fact that they received bonus Queenpads really shifts the way they see Menstruation, and themselves. Truly an empowering experience we are grateful to initiate in partnership with various organizations and volunteers.

Keen to keep reaching more Queens 💜

💧 Water-Saving Menstrual Hygiene Plan

Water scarcity is one of the biggest El Niño-related MHH challenges.
✅ Identify reliable water sources before shortages become severe
✅ Store sufficient water specifically for personal hygiene
✅ Prioritise safe water for washing reusable menstrual products
✅ Have covered buckets/containers for water storage
✅ Establish a private washing area (if there isn't)
✅ Keep soap🧼 available
✅ Have access to clean drying areas
✅ Develop water-saving washing practices
✅ Never compromise drinking-water safety for menstrual hygiene

📌 For reusable pads: ensure users understand that they need adequate washing, rinsing, drying and safe storage. Where these conditions cannot be reliably maintained, disposable options may be needed temporarily.

✅ Menstrual Products
Prepare an adequate supply before water shortages or any access disruptions.
✅ Disposable/Reusable sanitary pads
✅ Toilet rolls
✅ Underwears
✅ Small waterproof/dignity bags for carrying used products
✅ Safe disposal bags for disposable products
