Team Pad is dedicated to developing a machine capable of making effective menstrual pads onsite in refugee camps, providing employment and menstrual hygiene products to refugees. Our first priority this semester is to determine that the pads that is produced by the machine are usable, by standards of commercially available pads. This includes examining materials and testing liquid holding capacities of various absorbent materials.

I serve as a designer and the fundraising chair on this project and would love the opportunity to chat about it!
