MUMBAI: For the first time in India’s sporting history, menstrual hygiene will take centre stage at a national event, and who better to lead the charge than Pee Safe, the country’s trailblazing hygiene brand? By becoming the ‘Health & Wellbeing Partner’ for the 38 National Games 2025, Pee Safe has turned the spotlight on sustainability and women’s health, bringing together innovation, empowerment, and eco-consciousness in one bold step.
Set to unfold from 28 January to 14 February 2025, this year’s national games in Uttarakhand will host over 10,000 participants, including 4,500+ women athletes, across 30+ sports categories and 45 events. True to its moniker, “Green Games”, the event will feature eco-friendly medals crafted from e-waste, biodegradable utilities, and recyclable resources. Pee Safe’s participation takes the sustainability agenda further by introducing biodegradable sanitary pads, tampons, and toilet seat sanitisers to every female athlete’s kit.
In addition to providing these essential products, Pee Safe will also host exclusive workshops on menstrual hygiene. By addressing taboos and educating athletes, the initiative aims to foster a supportive environment where female athletes can focus on excelling—without the stress of managing their health needs.
National Games Secretariat special principal secretary - sports & CEO, IPS, Amit Sinha expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, “We are delighted to welcome Pee Safe as the Hygiene Partner for the National Games, Uttarakhand 2025.

GTCC chairperson Sunaina Kumari echoed this sentiment, saying, “I am thrilled to see a much-needed focus on women’s health at the National Games. This initiative ensures women athletes are supported and sets a precedent for future events to prioritise inclusivity and well-being. It reflects a progressive approach to sports and is a step forward for gender equality.”
Commenting on the collaboration, Pee Safe founder Vikas Bagaria remarked, “At Pee Safe, we believe in empowering individuals with good health and confidence. Partnering with the National Games 2025 is a historic opportunity to spotlight women’s hygiene in sports. By providing biodegradable products and hosting educational sessions, we aim to ‘Make Red Green,’ fostering both inclusivity and sustainability.”
