Field notes
The homepage frames the work as material research, product engineering, and social innovation, rather than presenting a finished product for sale. It describes banana pseudostem, typically left as agricultural residue, as a source for the absorbent core and pairs the product concept with menstrual-health education. Feedback and partnership invitations suggest the project is seeking input and collaborators while development continues.
