Description: Flo is a tool kit that supports girls living in poverty use of reusable sanitary pads. Flo allows girls to wash, secretly dry, and carry reusable pads without being visible to the public; removing the chance of social ridicule, infection or disease, while empowering them to slowly change local attitudes and taboos toward menstruation.Rather than their menstrual cycle controlling their lives, this system allows the girls to be in control, comfortable, and confident throughout the cycle.
