Abstract
Irregular menstrual periods are common, many female college students ignore the physiological feelings of menstrual symptoms and forget to prepare sanitary supplies in advance. With humanistic care, this paper focuses on women’s issues, observes and cares about the distress of female college students’ menstrual problems on campus. The paper mainly refers to the double-diamond model as methodology guidance to our design research process, and has carried out a series of more detailed and comprehensive user research. At the same time, this paper improves the user research methods in the designing process, and innovatively applies them to Irregular menstrual problems on campus, while analyzing and dissolving user needs, and provides help to them through user interface and user experience design, which would make campus periods no longer embarrassing.
