Abstract

Karangkulon is famous as a support that most of its citizens work as healers and are done by women. The use of disposable pads has a devastating impact on women's reproductive health and environmental hygiene. On that basis, To meet the needs of Karangkulon residents, the KKN team of UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta located in Karangkulon, Wukirsari, Imogiri, Bantul, Yogyakarta launched a socialization activity program cloth pads with the aim of helping the surrounding residents to pay more attention to environmental hygiene and women's reproductive health by switching from the use of disposable sanitary pads to the use of cloth pads. The methods used in this community service activity are socialization and training through video meetings and the distribution of colored leaflet media to citizens. The result of this program is a good response or feedback from the community. The enthusiasm of the citizens attending the video meeting by asking various kinds of questions proves the interest and curiosity of Karangkulon residents about cloth pads more deeply. Therefore, the socialization and training of cloth pads is the right choice in inviting citizens especially women to be more aware of women's reproductive health and environmental hygine.
