Building Sustainable
Menstrual Hygiene For All
Certified manufacturing, documented field programmes, and a full-lifecycle delivery process — built for government, CSR, and NGO scale.
India's Functional Innerwear Manufacturer
D'Chica Fashion Lifestyle Private Limited is an in-house manufacturer of reusable period underwear — operating under BIS Licence CM/L-8100226808 against IS 17514:2025, India's national standard for reusable period products.
We manufacture directly. Production capacity, quality control, and committed lead times are ours — not dependent on a third party. Our products carry two independent leak-proof barriers and have been lab-tested for PFAS and phthalates. Sizing spans teen and adult ranges, making us suited for school-based and community distribution programmes at any scale.
We run documented distribution programmes with NGO and CSR partners. This is implementation experience — not a first attempt.

Why Institutions Are Rethinking Menstrual Hygiene
Institutions serving women and girls are weighing a practical question: what procurement model creates the most sustainable impact per rupee spent? Four things are driving the shift.
Disposable sanitary products are used once and discarded — a recurring procurement and disposal cost every single month with no end point.
Reusable period underwear is washed and worn across many cycles — replacing single-use products without replacing dignity or comfort.
Products styled to look and feel like everyday innerwear support consistent use — reducing the stigma that limits adoption of conventional period products.
Fewer disposable units over time means reduced recurring procurement burden and significantly less textile waste for institutions to manage.
Five Things Procurement Teams Evaluate
Designed to feel like everyday underwear — supporting consistent, comfortable use rather than one-time trial in a distribution drive.
A reusable model that lowers the recurring cost per beneficiary — up to 20% below average marketplace pricing.
Fewer procurement cycles and less disposable waste over time — a measurable sustainability outcome institutions can report.
BIS Licence CM/L-8100226808 against IS 17514:2025 — the national standard required for government and tender submissions.
In-house production capacity with committed lead times — built to fulfil institutional-volume orders without third-party dependence.
