  Abstract

Menstrual hygiene management remains a significant challenge, emphasizing the need for hygienic, moisture-managing, and antibacterial sanitary materials. Conventional sanitary napkins predominantly use synthetic materials in their layers, which can cause discomfort and health issues for users, particularly due to bacterial growth in menstrual blood. This study addresses these concerns by developing a natural antibacterial textile material using Senna auriculata flower, known for its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Powdered components of Senna auriculata were applied to milkweed and milkweed/recycled hollow polyester blended nonwoven textile material through extracted component finishing and nanoparticle finishing techniques. The developed sanitary napkin design incorporated polypropylene nonwoven as the top layer, antibacterial finished milkweed and recycled hollow polyester textile material as antibacterial textile layer between the top and core layers to inhibit bacterial proliferation, recycled viscose fiber as the core absorbent, and polyethylene as the bottom barrier layer. The performance of the treated materials was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli, demonstrating significant antibacterial efficacy. Moisture behavior properties, including liquid spreading rate, retention capacity, holding capacity under pressure, and absorption capacity, were analyzed. The results confirmed improved antibacterial functionality and enhanced moisture management, providing an enhanced and effective solution for menstrual hygiene products and management. This study offers a safer, more comfortable, and eco-friendly solution for menstrual hygiene products.
