TY - CONF AB - <p>People with Disabilities (PWDs) is difficult to find functional intimate apparel (Chapin, 2015). In addition, traditional tampons are an ecological disaster for the environment (Siegle, 2017). However, despite the potential market for adaptive intimate apparel, there are few design research studies exploring intimate apparel for PWDs. Therefore, this research study aimed to explore functional underwear that is easy to wear, skin-friendly, and environmentally friendly and to design a functional period panty for PWDs. The researcher used the qualitative research method and the user-centered design (UCD) framework to engage with PWDs to understand their intimate apparel challenges and needs.&nbsp;</p> AU - Jia Wu, Kerri McBee-Black DA - 2022/12// DO - 10.31274/itaa.15867 IS - 1 VL - 79 PB - Iowa State University Digital Press PY - 2022 TI - Functional Period Panty for People with Disability T2 - International Textile and Apparel Association Annual Conference Proceedings UR - https://www.iastatedigitalpress.com/itaa/article/id/15867/ ER -
