Feminine hygiene products are personal care items used to cleanse and maintain intimate hygiene. These products include pads, tampons, panty liners, menstrual sponges, and menstrual cups that help women comfortably manage their menstrual cycles. The rise in the number of female working population and increase in disposable income has raised women’s purchasing power, leading to elevated sales of feminine hygiene products. The use of feminine hygiene products has increased due to increasing awareness of the significance of maintaining proper sanitation and increasing accessibility on eCommerce platforms and in convenience stores. However, the adverse effects and environmental concerns associated with the disposal of products manufactured from synthetic materials and chemicals may impede their use by the female population. Besides, the ongoing development and introduction of innovative and reusable products are expected to encourage the adoption of feminine hygiene products by women worldwide.
Nature: Expanding usage of reusable/organic feminine hygiene products to reduce their carbon footprint
Disposable feminine hygiene products, such as conventional sanitary pads, tampons, panty liners, and menstrual cups, are single-use items appreciated for their convenience and accessibility. They are made from materials such as paper, plastic, and absorbent cores and are convenient but generate waste. The preference for disposable hygiene products is commonly justified by the demand for convenient and hassle-free menstrual hygiene solutions. Reusable/organic feminine hygiene products are designed for menstrual care and personal hygiene and are intended to be used multiple times. These products, including cloth pads, menstrual cups, and period underwear, are made from durable, washable materials, including cloth, silicone, or fabric. They are more environmentally sustainable and cost-effective in the long term compared to disposable alternatives.
Type: Increasing potential of tampons among eco-conscious consumers
Menstrual cups, reusable devices made from silicone or rubber, are inserted into the vagina during menstruation to collect menstrual fluid. With environmental concerns on the rise, these can replace disposables, marking a significant shift in feminine hygiene preferences. Panty liners are a mainstay for women seeking light absorbency during the menstrual cycle or for everyday freshness. Sanitary napkins remain the most commonly used type of menstrual management product. Tampons are the preferred choice for many women due to their compact design and ease of use, particularly for those leading an active lifestyle. Urinary incontinence products, such as liners, pads, and panties, have grown increasingly popular with the aging population and are a vital part of the market.
Distribution Channel: Rising accessibility of feminine hygiene products through online platforms due to their convenience
Convenience stores are a popular destination for last-minute purchases that offer a limited range of products and usually have higher prices due to their small scale of operation and 24/7 accessibility. Drug stores or pharmacies are the main go-to source for health-related products and, thus, offer a vast range of feminine hygiene products. Hypermarkets & supermarkets are the preferred choice for most female consumers due to the wide variety of brands available. They serve as a one-stop solution and enable consumers to compare product features, prices, and quality. With the growth of e-commerce, online retail stores and direct-to-consumer brands have been burgeoning distribution channels. They offer convenience, comparatively lower prices, more comprehensive product information, and a broad range of products.
