BLEAN

Blean is developing a portable rinse system designed to make cleaning a menstrual cup or disc easier and more private in public restrooms. Its concept addresses a common challenge for people who use reusable period products away from home: the sink may be outside the stall, while there may be no clean place to set a cup or disc during rinsing. Blean is intended to bring the rinse process into the stall, helping users manage their routine without planning around restroom access.

To use the system, users expand Blean and fill its two reservoirs with water before entering the stall. They place their cup or disc inside, close the lid, shake it, and empty the water. The rinse can then be repeated with fresh water from the second reservoir. Afterward, users remove and reinsert the product, then collapse Blean for storage. The product is currently being refined and tested as a prototype, and its final design may vary.
