Behaviors and practices of incarcerated women towards menstrual hygiene in a large urban prison in Uganda: a phenomenological qualitative study.

Behaviors and practices of incarcerated women fall short of desired standards and they face several barriers to practicing menstrual hygiene. The prison authorities should provide sufficient sanitary products like pads, and knickers including soap, construct more sanitary facilities, educate about the safe disposal of used sanitary products, and provide sufficient clean water to promote good menstrual hygiene management among incarcerated women.
