Source: Author estimates using various publicly available datasets [3–5]. Note: Data from IIPS and Macro International (NFHS-4 and NFHS-5) is limited to girls and women aged 15–24. Hence, the overall numbers are likely to over-represented period product usage in India. District Level Household Survey (DLHS-3) has data across women aged 15–49 and reports the number of women using sanitary napkins and locally prepared napkins.
