Menstruations are surrounded by taboo in Indian society. The taboo is caused by the religious credence (Hindu, Muslim and Christian) that the woman is considered to be impure and cursed by God during those days. This belief has over time affected the culture in perceiving this natural event as something dirty and contaminated. Therefore, women, in the current rural Indian society, follow certain restrictions while having their period, such as avoiding: to cook, to bring water, to attend religious practices, to touch and to be touched. These restrictions are not the only consequences of Indian rural society’s belief about menstruations, in fact there are other connected effects. The biggest one is women’s shyness about the topic, and especially about menstrual symptoms. Their reluctance to discuss the event because of uncomfortable surroundings lead to issues, such as lack of education and lack of knowledge about their own body. In fact Instead of visiting a doctor when a symptom persists, the women prefer to wait for it to cure itself. This is done even if they do not know how to handle the symptom or judge the seriousness of it. The current product used by rural Indian women while having menstruations is a cotton cloth, folded and kept for few hours. After usage the cloth is washed separately and left to dry either hidden below dupattas or placed on the roof of the house. Using the cloth has two main problems: the lack of running water and proper drying. These conditions make the cloth become unhygienic for being worn and being in contact with the private and delicate parts of the female body. The cloth’s material aggravates the situation because it creates bruises due to its texture and does not prevent leaking since it has a low absorptive capacity. The result has two consequences: on women’s health conditions, because it is proved that the use of cloth facilitates the development of vaginal inconveniences and on social conditions, because the women are restricted to their domestic walls in order to change the cloth often to avoid leaking. The sanitary napkin is a known product but not pervasively adopted, because of many reasons: its high price (a package costs between 35 and 55 Indian rupees), the explicit packaging, the lack of compatibility to users who do not wear undergarments and the gender of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper of the store where the item is usually available is always a man which does not match with the taboo related to the topic. These are the starting points of this graduation project, which took place in Vadodara (India) with the collaboration and support of Deepak Foundation. In order to achieve solutions to solve the issues listed earlier, a user and a context research has been conducted in loco, the definition of the concepts has been achieved through user participatory design, the evaluation at the end has been done by either stakeholders’ and users on prototypes of the solutions. The graduation project solves the problem related to the lack of education by raising awareness about vaginal symptoms. The goal is achieved through an educative game, played by women with an audience of adolescents. The game’s main subject is the divulgence of knowledge about the most common symptoms related to menstruation. Due to the dynamics of the game the women are led to discuss, share their own opinions and gain new knowledge about the symptoms. In addition to the group approach, there is a personal tool giving the same information of the game. This personal tool allows each woman to have a more direct and private approach to the educative material. The graduation project also optimizes the life cycle of the sanitary napkin, in order to propose to the customers a more fitting product to the Indian context and culture. Among the phases of the sanitary napkin life cycle, the information and promotion, the packaging and the product (with a focus on offering a solution for those users who do not wear undergarments) are developed as a complete redesign. The distribution, the making and the disposing are elaborated as further recommendations. The information and promotion shows the comparison between the use of cloth and sanitary napkin, underlining the positive aspects on a health and social level of the latter one. As the packaging has no direct link with menstruations, it offers a discreet way for carrying it in the village, without feeling ashamed. The product gives the right to users who do not wear undergarments to adopt a sanitary napkin, having the comfort and the confidence of moving, with no fear of losing the product and leaking. The educative game and the sanitary napkin life cycle optimization empower rural Indian women by creating awareness about their own health through learning while having fun, and by improving their physical wellness and mobility.
