Abstract:
The aim of this project was to de-stigmatize the topic of menstruation as it is an issue that holds back a whole community, while also addressing the environmental impacts of regular menstrual products. The idea behind designing a product and application was to address the issue of menstrual health and hygiene, by increasing it's visibility and creating more opportunities to enhance conversations, and by also including beyond cis-gendered women in the conversation. The brand we picked for this project was U by Kotex.
