“Growing up in an immigrant community where access to menstrual hygiene was severely limited, it was gross, traumatizing and unhealthy.”

Along with our founders Anupriya, Prisha and Vanalika, we have been working to normalize periods in marginalized communities.

Menstrumate developed and patented a sustainable and affordable fabric from underutilized agro-waste out of highschool and founded Menstrumate. With over 50 chapters worldwide and countless education workshops held, we’ve been restructuring the narrative since.

Global Collaborations

We established formal partnerships with grassroots organizations, expanding our global chapter network that now spans the US, Thailand, Philippines, Bangladesh, Maldives, Indonesia, Malaysia, Canada, and 12 states in India. These collaborations enable coordinated workshops addressing critical topics including consent, sex education, and period poverty—issues often overlooked due to cultural stigma. Each workshop is conducted with local grassroots organizations.

We collaborated with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Canada to provide 2000 units of sanitary pads towards medical kits assembled for women affected by historic conflict and violence in the African region, particularly internally displaced Sudanese refugees in Darfur and returnees in South Sudan and Chad.
