Two students from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Delhi, have developed a \u201cstand and pee\u201d device for women. It was launched in Delhi on Tuesday, World Toilet Day.<\/p>\n
The device called \u201cSanfe\u201d has been developed to help women avoid unhygienic public toilets. It is suitable for women of all ages and is priced at Rs 10.<\/p>\n
Archit Agarwal and Harry Sehraway, 19-year old BTech students of IIT Delhi, developed the device in collaboration with the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi.<\/p>\n
Agarwal and Sehrawat said they were aware that unclean toilets are a major worry for women, and they are exposed to urinary tract infections. Not only that, in order to avoid these toilets, women very commonly withhold the urge to pee.<\/p>\n
Sanfe can be used during menstruation. It is also suitable for pregnant women, those who are differently-abled and also for women suffering from arthritis. The one-time use biodegradable product is gentle on the skin, requires only a single hand to use and is convenient for use even in traditional attire. It is also gentle on the skin and wouldn\u2019t cause scratch or itching.<\/p>\n
Sanfe can be commonly used in public toilets all over, especially in bus terminus and railway station.<\/p>\n
There was a simultaneous campaign #StandUpForYourself simultaneously launched under which one lakh free samples of the device will be distributed to women all over the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
