Inspired by refugees and water consumption, the innovative washing kit for reusable sanitary pads is presented as an affordable and durable option. Think of the reusable sanitary pad washing kit as a mini manual washing machine. You simply place the used cloth pads inside the interior compartment. You manually drive the agitator so that the small amount of water and baking soda added can clean the pad. Then hang the pad to dry.
The Looop Can is a portable, compact and economical washing kit for reusable menstrual pads. It is a solution for areas with water scarcity, lack of availability of period products or for those looking to reduce menstruation waste.
Designed by design student Cheuk Laam Wong, Loopop won the Gold Prize Design Educates Award in the product design category.

This limitation puts special pressure on refugee women, who are forced to choose between necessities such as food and baby supplies or menstrual products. Delving into the daily lives of refugees and the chall C Level Executive List enges they face in the camps inspired Wong to invent the Looop Can system.
