Mumbai: On the event of Menstrual Hygiene Day (May 28) Mahika Sharma who has been part of exhibits like ‘F.I.R’ and ‘Ramayana’, shared her expertise.

She says its important to love and promise yourself for a happy and healthy period by understanding your body better”, she mentioned.
She reveals about having fun with her friends day like some other day. “Chums are not a headache for me. I enjoy those days like any other day. I do go sea-side flaunting my body. But yes I make sure to keep myself hygienic. Like from sanitary pads, tampons to menstrual cups, we should choose a product that provides maximum comfort. It must be kept in mind that only one method of sanitation must be used at a time; using multiple ones can lead to rashes, infections or even Toxic Shock Syndrome.
