Captain Underpants

The challenge

her main need is in the bathroom.

Malak can stand and dress herself with one hand (holding herself with the other hand), but she needs help wearing up her panties because they roll when she takes them off.

Who it helps

She is 21 years old, she is blind and using a wheelchair.

How it works

1 - Allows you to take off the underwear without them rolling and the loops help to lift them back up. 2 - The solution allows her to the bathroom without taking off her underwear.

We want to help Malak get dressed without the help of another person. The solutions we offer are: 1 - adding loops to the upper part of the underwear, and add a rigid strap. 2 - Opening the underwear in front so that you don't have to take them off at all.

Tools needed
