At ₹1 a pad, a woman using 20 regular pads a month spends ₹20 at a Kendra and about ₹100 on Whisper Choice XL. For heavy flow, the Suvidha XL at ₹3.75 is still cheaper than any branded XL pad, though the Kendra packs are small (four pads) and the brands sell 40 at a time. Fit, length and absorbency differ, and the right pad is the one that does not leak for you; try one Kendra pack before buying in bulk.
Jan Aushadhi sanitary pads by size: which to buy
- Regular (codes 8140, 8199, 8145, 9030): light to medium flow days, and for school-going girls; the ₹1 pad.
- Large (code 8141): medium to heavy days.
- XL (code 8142): heavy flow and nights.
- Maternity pads (code 8198): only for the first weeks after delivery, when bleeding is much heavier; see our hospital bag checklist for delivery.

Jan Aushadhi menstrual cup price
The Jan Aushadhi reusable menstrual cup costs ₹175 (small), ₹180 (medium) or ₹185 (large). The medium Sirona cup on Amazon was ₹239 the same day, so the Kendra cup saves about ₹55. A cup lasts several years with care, which makes it the cheapest option of all over time. Boil it in water before first use and between cycles; Sirona also sells a cup wash (₹124.20) if you want one.
How to buy Jan Aushadhi sanitary pads
- Find the nearest Kendra on the Jan Aushadhi Sugam app or janaushadhi.gov.in; many government hospitals have one on campus.
- Ask for Suvidha by size and, if they have several regular packs, by drug code.
- Buy two or three packs, because the small packs run out in a cycle.
- Ask the Kendra to order XL or maternity pads if they are not on the shelf; the code is enough.
- Do not order Jan Aushadhi sanitary pads online from sites claiming to be Jan Aushadhi stores; PMBJP sells only through Kendras.
Schools and colleges in several states hand out free pads under state schemes; ask the school. For other Kendra prices see the Jan Aushadhi medicine price list.
