What a women desire: Application of conjoint analysis for analysing the choice of menstrual hygiene products and factors influencing their consummatory behaviour by Tiwari Abhay Kumar, Patel Vaishali, Saroj Chitra

“…Result: Following investigation, findings indicate that synthetic sanitary napkins were used by women more frequently than any other menstrual hygiene products and that inaccessibility and cost were the main barriers to sanitary product use. Demographic factors and the type of sanitary product used, as well as knowledge of innovative methods of menstrual hygiene, were found to be strongly correlated. …”
