15:03 pm on 15 June 2018

A UN grant has helped two Samoan women to get their eco-friendly feminine pads for women's menstrual cycles to market sooner.

The reuseable product lasts for up to two years and offers a more affordable alternative solution for a woman's monthly cycle.

The pair launched their products on World Menstrual Day.
