After six months of testing and incorporating their feedback, he came up with the final product, the GoPadFree reusable standalone period panty. The product is the first and currently the only one of its kind in India. “The menstrual health industry in India is one of the most underserved in the world. GoPadFree has been tested to hold up to five times the menstrual flow absorbed by a regular sanitary pad. Moreover, more than 10,000 Indian women have already used it and found it capable of absorbing their period flow comfortably. Still, everyone’s period is different and we urge every user to test it at home in a safe environment for the first time and identify their ideal usage before wearing it socially,” he suggests.

While these are washable panties, this writer wanted to know if it is hygienic to use them for hours at a time. Acharjee explains, “Most odour-causing bacteria and germs are known to grow in the damp, but GoPadFree keeps you dry and comfortable during periods. Thanks to its breathable multi-layered structure and use of high-quality cotton fabric, this design [Rs 1,150] is hygienic and keeps you free from odour.”
