Factors to consider while selecting a Menstrual Hygiene Unit
Menstrual Health and sustainability become more prevalent, it is essential for organizations to prioritize effective Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM). To assist in this process, I have outlined the key factors to consider when selecting a Menstrual Hygiene Unit (MHU) for your facility:
- Utility Value: Consider the capacity required based on foot traffic, the disposal method (such as eco-friendly liners), and effective odour control mechanisms.
- Design Aspects: Ensure the unit fits the restroom layout without obstructing movement. Options include wall-mounted or free-standing units with ergonomic features.
- Maintenance: Prioritize durability and high-quality materials that are easy to clean and maintain over long-term use.
- Cost and Affordability: Evaluate both the initial investment and the ongoing maintenance costs to ensure a sustainable solution.
