Feminine Hygiene Alternative Developed

A Quebec couple has developed a prototype for a feminine hygiene product that helps stops the leaks of tampons and offers non-tampon wearers and new discrete solution.
 
The product was developed by husband and wife Sylvain Légaré and Suzanne Minville using materials the couple found in the drug store. The prototype product uses adhesives found in medical care products and absorbent materials used in ultra-thin feminine hygiene pads.
