Menstruation is a natural process that happens in a woman’s life monthly. But it’s still a hush-hush topic in Singapore, where girls get embarrassed to say they need a pad or tampon openly.

For ladies looking to be pampered during your “moon time”, read on to find out how you can save yourself the trouble of repeatedly buying supplies thanks to period care kits and subscriptions.
