Heritage is built over time, not bought overnight. Established in 2002, Prasuti is a legacy Indian maternity pad brand, trusted in maternal care for over two decades. Today, as part of Nibhana Consumer, we carry that experience forward through Smilepad's focus on feminine hygiene innovation and quality manufacturing. Products can be developed, factories can be built, but lasting trust must be earned. For us, heritage is not just a history to celebrate, but a responsibility to uphold.


Most manufacturers in this category make pads. We make the category.
Under one roof, Smilepad manufactures:Women's hygiene needs evolve through different stages of life, and the products supporting them should evolve too. At Smilepad, we offer a complete feminine hygiene portfolio, including sanitary napkins, panty liners, disposable period panties, maternity pads, menstrual cups, and tampons.
For brands, distributors, and global buyers, this means one partner for product development, customisation, quality-controlled manufacturing, and reliable supply across multiple categories.
Our approach to sustainability begins with thoughtful material selection, responsible sourcing, efficient production, and exploring solutions that reduce environmental impact without compromising product performance.
Backed by Nibhana Consumer and the maternity care heritage of Prasuti, we are building more than manufacturing capabilities. Our vision is to make Smilepad a trusted feminine care brand recognised for quality, innovation, accessibility, and long-term commitment.
We're a team of parents and engineers who set out to make essentials that really work—ones that are supremely soft and minimize the likelihood of leaks, blowouts, and rashes. For your peace of mind.
To become India’s most trusted hygiene brand by creating thoughtfully engineered essentials that deliver superior comfort, protection, and peace of mind for every family. We envision a future where hygiene products are not just functional—but intelligently designed, clinically safe, and transparently manufactured.
We go above and beyond for you. For us, that means sourcing hypoallergenic, chemical free materials. We work with independent labs for safety testing, and publish the results for transparency.
Whether you are launching a brand, supplying an institution, or building a distribution network, Smilepad brings two decades of specialism, the heritage of Prasuti, FMCG leadership from Gillette and Godfrey Phillips, and a full feminine-care range under one roof.
