flag Canadian scientists created a flushable seaweed tablet to improve menstrual cup hygiene and enable health monitoring.

flag Canadian researchers at McMaster University have developed a seaweed-based, flushable tablet that enhances menstrual cup usability by reducing spills and improving hygiene. flag The tablet, designed to work with the Bfree Cup, is biodegradable and helps contain menstrual blood, addressing a major barrier to adoption. flag The innovation supports sustainable, cost-effective menstrual care and could enable early detection of reproductive health issues like endometriosis and UTIs by analyzing menstrual blood. flag The team, led by Zeinab Hosseinidoust and Tohid Didar, envisions future versions with biosensors and AI for real-time health monitoring, potentially transforming menstrual cups into proactive health tools. flag The project aims to expand access to safe menstrual products, especially in low- and middle-income communities.
