AGATEKA REUSABLE PADS
Comfort. Convenience. Agateka.
In Kirundi, Agateka means Dignity. We chose the name because menstruation should never stand in the way of a girl’s education, a woman’s work, or anyone’s confidence. Every Agateka product is designed with that simple idea in mind: dignity in everyday life.

"I have a very heavy flow, and the disposable pads my parents bought for me would not even last two hours. Sometimes I would stain my underwear, and if I stood up at school, I would see stains left on the bench. It was very embarrassing. With Agateka, I feel at peace. I'm not embarrassed anymore. Whether I'm at school or somewhere else, I feel comfortable and confident."

Built for comfort. Proven through experience.
Women often assume reusable pads are uncomfortable, difficult to clean, less effective or less hygienic than disposable products. Thousands of Agateka users have shown the opposite. When properly washed and dried, Agateka pads are safe, practical, and comfortable. Many women tell us they wish they had discovered them sooner.
Made by Burundian women
Every Agateka pad is produced by a woman trained and employed through our vocational training program. By choosing Agateka, you are supporting local jobs, skills development, and a growing movement for menstrual dignity.
