Only 12% of the women in India knew the use of sanitary napkins, and the remaining 88% of them had gone through menstrual periods in both physical and psychological torture. Even women were so ignorant of menstrual care, let alone men. Many men in India are married and have a wife, only to know that there is a period of this kind of thing, the next uncle India is no exception.
Uncle named state. Not long after getting married, he found his wife holding something, sneaking, hiding, or are not willing to let him see. He was behind his wife, trying to understand what it is, his wife did not think it angry, yelling at him: do not you tube! Later, Arunachal still found the thing. It was a dirty rag, and in his own words, "the cloth is so dirty that I don't even want to wipe the butt!"
When the state later understand, this is his wife in the menstrual period with "Health cotton", he asked if she was shocked, why so bad things? The wife told him that if I bought the sanitary cotton every month, then we would have no money to buy milk. The state can't bear to see his wife so wronged themselves, then secretly went to the store and bought his wife a pack of ladies sanitary napkins.
"Sell man looked around, wrapped in a napkin and handed me a piece of newspaper, like a thief."
It is 29 years old by the first time I saw the sanitary napkin. He was so curious that he could not help but want to know what it was like. After seeing him, he thought, is this not cotton? The cost is very low, what a few dollars a pack sell so expensive?
Why don't I help my wife do a bit of sanitary napkins for my wife? Do it now, to really find state materials, their DIY out of the sanitary napkin, finished after the announcement, Arunachal Fannan, so in the conservative India, where to find the female sanitary napkins to test the DIY functions? In desperation, its thought of his wife, she became the first test object itself. He took a good napkin and said to his wife, "close your eyes and guess what it is. It's a pity that it's not a diamond necklace, nor a diamond ring, or even a chocolate. It's made of paper."
A month after the state in his wife on the experiment, experiment.... until the end, the wife can't stand his experiments, but also to find the state own sisters, but was rejected. Finally forced to have no way to cross state: my heart!
"At that moment, I felt like Armstrong who left my footprint on the moon for the first time, and I was probably the first man in the world wearing a napkin." In order to simulate the woman menstruation state, with a bottle of blood state with a bottle, then put the bottle tied on the waist, then inserted a tube into his pants. Whether it is riding or walking, just press the bottle and the blood will flow onto the sanitary napkin.
So the 5 day state. That messy, wet 5 day, he can never forget all his life. In a short 5 days, he also made him feel admirable to the woman. However, in order to make good and affordable sanitary napkins, he also needs continuous experimental improvement, which requires not only energy but also money.
During this period of time by devote themselves to engage in experiments and research, he and his wife filed for divorce. Because the experiment will often run state, go to medical school and the girls discuss. The wife felt, he just took the test as an excuse, just around nianhuarecao.
The village people also think that he is crazy, a dignified man, why always with a napkin everywhere?
Finally, the state had to leave the village, had a good life was on the sanitary napkin is ruined, and even forced to leave their homes, but fortunately Arunachal finally found a cellulose, can be extracted from pine trees, cheap and convenient, the raw material, the bigger problem is behind still, because want to let women can use, we need to be able to mass production machines.
The state has spent 4 years studying a simple machine, women can operate at home. Everyone can produce sanitary napkins at home. The state also spent a year and a half, created 250 machines, all free of charge to the India rural women. He also demonstrated in person, teaching women to learn to use the machine
Now, more than 1300 rural areas in more than 100 countries have used their machines, which not only provide cheap and ladies sanitary pads for women in poor areas, but also create many jobs for them.
The dream is in their own state in the rest of life, let India women use sanitary napkins, but also provide India with 1 million + jobs! I have no culture, Arunachal said, just a dropout. But no culture is good. It is because of the lack of culture that I have the courage to fear nothing. The wife returned to him, they also gave birth to a lovely daughter, perhaps more important than courage is the state of female practitioners, equal care and love.
