Details: A cleaning kit for washing reusable mensuration pads. Designed for refugees in water-scarce regions, or asylum seekers in financial difficulties, it uses buoyancy to reduce the amount of water required for washing. The product costs around £3 and has a lifespan of 5 years - the minimum amount of time a refugee spends in a camp.

Description: Through researching the material used in reusable pads, we designed the pad to have separable layers so that they dry quicker regardless of weather. The quick-drying bamboo fabric became an ideal option. The pads are also rectangular so they resemble less like menstrual products and reduces gender stigma in refugee camps.
