Plush has a team of strong and determined women who strive to bring comfort to every woman who bleeds. Ketan Munoth and Prince Kapoor, Founders of Plush stated “We want to make it possible for women of all walks of life to have the basic right to a safe and hygienic menstruation.”
“Lack of menstrual hygiene practices and resources to follow the same has always been a prevalent issue in India and Plush as a brand is stepping up to contribute to the best of our abilities to address and help with this issue,” say the Founders.
Plush along with the Central Prison Department of Chennai has taken the initiative to provide comfort and care to the inmates during their menstruation and cater to their period needs.
Representative of Prison Department said, “Menstrual hygiene problems arise due to lack of education on the subject, persistent taboos and stigma, limited access to sanitary menstrual products, and poor sanitation facilities. We are happy that brands like Plush are taking initiatives and are proactively helping to making a difference in the lives of these women.”
The goal behind this initiative was to raise awareness and promote good menstrual health and hygiene practices for all incarcerated women and contribute to creating an environment in which every woman is empowered to manage her menstruation safely, hygienically, confidently, and without shame.
