Abstract
Nowadays, the discourse on environmental conservation is hot to be studied amidst the increasing production of waste every year. One of the biggest contributors to waste is sanitary napkins. As for one element of society that has the potential to produce large-scale sanitary napkin waste is the Islamic boarding school environment. Responding to the facts above, there is a need for an effort to reduce waste production by adhering to the 3R principle (Reduce, Recycle, Reuse). One of the ways taken to reduce sanitary napkin waste is the use of cloth sanitary napkins and educating them to female students in order to reduce the potential use of single-use sanitary napkins for a more sustainable environment. At least there are several questions that must be answered in this study: What is the process of making cloth pads? how effective is the use of cloth sanitary napkins? and how to evaluate cloth sanitary napkins for further development?
