Metode : Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner. Sampel mahasiswi berjumlah 54, siswi berjumlah 66. Pengambilan sampel dengan metode nonprobability sampling secara cluster random sampling Hasil : Pada mahasiswi paling banyak ditemukan tingkat pengetahuan personal hygiene saat menstruasi sebanyak 50 orang (92,6%), sikap yang setuju yaitu sebanyak 47 orang (87,0%), dan tindakan baik sebanyak 35 orang (64,8%), sedangkan pada siswi Madrasah paling banyak ditemukan tingkat pengetahuan personal hygiene saat menstruasi yang baik sebanyak 49 orang (74,2%), sikap yang baik sebanyak 51 orang (77,3%), dan tindakan cukup baik sebanyak 35 orang (53,0%). Kesimpulan : Terdapat perbedaan tingkat pengetahuan antara siswi MAN dengan mahasiswi (p value 0,000). Terdapat perbedaan sikap antara siswi MAN dengan mahasiswi (p value 0,004).
