Abstract
This study was done to evaluate the menstrual hygiene practices of the low-income
adolescent girls living in Karachi Pakistan. Data was collected from one hundred and
twenty nine adolescent girls aged 9-14 from three government schools of Karachi, West.
Altogether 29 questions were asked from each of them. It was found out that the
menstrual hygienic practices were un-satisfactory. The girls need to be educated about
the use of proper pads, its changing and proper disposal. This can be achieved by giving
them proper education, training and knowledge by family members and teachers so there
won’t be any misunderstanding to the adolescent girls regarding menstrual hygiene.
