THIS photograph is the real impact of #PadManChallenge!

Rediff readers post selfies with sanitary napkins to raise menstrual hygiene awareness.

We'd asked you, dear readers to take the #PadMan challenge.

Here are some of the responses we received from you.

Nikhat Ehsan, 35, said, "I am a mother of a girl child from Bihar. Trust me, I'm feeling so empowered after watching the promos, songs of Pad Man. It's quite moving. See the effect: a lady from a backward community is not hesitant to share this pic."

That's 17-year-old Riya Nahar. 

Pallavi Lunawat, an Architect, and Rohan Lunawat, CEO at the software solutions company Script Lanes -- both 32 -- said, "There is a pad in our hands and there is nothing to be ashamed about! It's natural! Period."

Jessy Suresh, 38, from Kerala shared her #PadManChallenge photograph, "in support of all women across the world who are unable to afford sanitary pads for a healthy living. This is also acknowledging the brilliant invention of Arunachalam Muruganantham for making affordable sanitary napkins."

Hanny, 33 and Vivek Mardia, 35 from Chennai shared this photograph posing with a sanitary napkin.

Jaya Pandey, 19, from Mumbai also shared a selfie with a napkin.

Also meet: The Pad Man of Jharkhand, who has a message for Modi
