Are you one of those people who think tampons work fine as they are?, Well times are a changing, and your period is about to get a tech update. MyFlow has created tampons that tell you when they are full using Bluetooth technology, in a bid to stop any unfortunate accidents.
My.Flow is a startup
company that created tampons that tell you when they are full using
bluetooth technology (Yes, you heard that right, Bluetooth) and its aim
is to empower women through insight and to obliterate the period
anxiety that plagues virtually 51 percent of the world at some point in
their lives. But critics argue that women know their own cycle and when
to change their tampon.
This is how the bluetooth tampon works,
it connects to a period tracking monitor via a six to 12 inch long
string, which is then snapped to your waistband or underwear. In
addition to a connected tampon and monitor, the system includes an
accompanied app that tracks your period both granular and monthly when
not in use, the monitor can act as a key chain holder(Interesting isn't
it?).
As interesting or
weird as this sounds you can't help questions like, What does the alert
on your phone say?, Does it have buttons ON the tampon?, Is it machine
washable?. Well this new innovation has certain setbacks as most of the
vagina bearers said they would be reluctant to wear a tampon with so
long a string and no one seemed crazy about the idea of having your
tampon clipped to your waistband.
But they did say that My.Flow seemed super useful, especially as training wheels for new members of the menstruation club.
