<![CDATA[Background: Currently, the age of menarche is getting attention because several studies show that there is a decrease in the age of menarche. Indonesia has experienced a decrease in menarche, namely there are 5.2% of children in Indonesia entering menarche under the age of 12 years. This age is entering the early phase of puberty, especially in elementary school children. Poor menstrual hygiene practices will result in susceptibility to disease, this is due to the lack of readiness of female students in facing menarche.
