To produce a cloth that could potentially create a reusable menstrual napkin for women, fibers can be

used in many fields such as papermaking, clothing, and other products. But for this project, Cellulose will
be employed to construct a viable reusable menstruation napkin for our fellow women.The Coir Fibres
are found between the hard, internal shell and the outer covering of the coconut. The individual fiber cells
are made of cellulose and have thick, hallow walls. Cellulose is one of the most common fibers, but it is
used to make things such as garments, paper, etc. This indicates that it can produce reusable menstruation
napkins for women who are having their periods. The Menstruation Napkin is made in several layers that
have cloth or cotton, which could help absorb the blood from your period. (Cowley L. 2019)
Coir (Coconut Fibre) as a reusable menstrual napkin can be used several times. It is manufactured from
cloth created by the cellulose fibers from the Coir (Coconut Fibre). They absorb the blood from periods.
The pad should last for about only 4-5 hours to avoid any stain and odors to the product itself. After each
use, the pad should also be cleansed to remove any blood stains before being reused.

Uses of most cloth pads such as the Coir (Coconut Fibre) are estimated to last for a long time depending
on how you take care of it. Due to it being reusable, it takes about 4-5 years for it to last. The Reusable
Pad by Coir (Coconut Fibre) makes it so useful for our fellow women in order to reduce the risks of waste
spreading in our environment. The amount of individual fibre cells with thick walls of cellulose will
affect how many washes and uses this product can hold. They are light in color while young, but as they
age, they stiffen and turn yellow as a layer of lignin is deposited on their walls. Each cell measures 10 to
20 m (0.0004 to 0.0008 in) in diameter and 1 mm (0.04 in) in length. Usually, fibers are between 4 and
12 inches (10 to 30 centimeters) length. Brown and white coir are the two different types. Fully ripened
coconuts yield brown coir, which is thick, robust, and very abrasion resistant. It frequently appears in
mats, brushes, and sacking. The mature brown coir fibers are stronger but less flexible because they
contain more lignin and less cellulose than fibers like flax and cotton. (Ginny. 2015)
Coir (coconut fiber) is biodegradable and environmentally friendly. The fibers or fabrics are entirely
biodegradable and are derived from a renewable source. Unlike other napkin products that are only used
once and then discarded, which might have an adverse effect on the environment. Because it is made of
cotton, the benefits of Coir (Coconut Fibre) as a reusable napkin make it more comfortable than most
goods. Since it is bio-degradable and less likely to cause skin irritation than other napkins, it is
significantly safer than other products.

Reusable cloth pads need to be cleaned, dried, and handled properly. They can increase your risk of
developing a vaginal infection by encouraging the growth of germs and fungi in your intimate area if they
are not cleaned properly. It goes without saying that not all ladies have the courage to properly wash off
their period blood with their hands. In fact, washing and cleaning frequently owing to frequent changes
might be particularly challenging for women who experience a high menstrual flow. The continued usage
of the same cotton pad may, in rare but probable circumstances, result in TSS. (Bhadauria P. 2020)
