How might we empower menstruating individuals who are blind to identify their onset of periods?​
using Chitosan!
Product Development
We created two solutions. One 10% chitosan with acetic acid and water and the other with 40% chitosan.
We coated chitosan on different fabrics and paper by rolling and dipping and then dried them in the oven for 15 minutes.
We tested the chitosan-coated fabrics and paper with animal blood and compared the results with plain fabric and paper.
