First there was the Diva Cup. Then came the sea pearl. So what’s next for sustainable menstrual solutions? Jellyfish! Uncross your legs, ladies, and get this: Scientists broke down jellyfish flesh and used nanoparticles (for antibacterial purposes) to create a highly absorbent, biodegradable material called “Hydromash.”
According to Capital Nano, a company raising funds for the product:
The Hydromash absorbs more than several times its volume and biodegrades in less than 30 days (faster than any other bio-degradable products such as bio-degradable diapers made out of pulp.)
Take that, Playtex! Hydromash has the potential to be used for almost anything that you use absorbent paper products for — sponges, paper towels, and even diapers.
