Abstract: Purpose - Menstruation is a part of the female reproductive cycle that begins with adolescence. Menstruation is a natural change; it relates to several malpractices and misconceptions that may contribute to adverse health outcomes. Design/methodology/approach - The authors have searched relevant papers using Google Scholar and PubMed to write this mini review. Findings - During menstruation, poor hygiene maintenance can cause serious illness, which includes the urinary tract and reproductive tract infection. Menstruation management is a hygienic system, and it is essential for females because poor hygiene maintenance during menstruation can cause some infections and numerous sexually transmitted diseases. There are a few nanotechnology-based products that have come into the market to offer some relief to females during their periods. Originality/value - This mini review will help researchers to design innovative female hygiene products that can relieve the discomfort caused to women during their reproductive age.
