About Maybe Multifunktionell App

D'Maybe App ass einfach. Si ass attraktiv, kloer an intuitiv, entwéckelt fir iwwer d'Tabu-Thema vun der Menstruatioun ze schwätzen, dat leider vill Schued an der korrekte Entwécklung vu Meedercher verursaacht, souwuel kierperlech wéi och emotional. D'Léisung gouf duerch Zesummenaarbecht mat Spezialisten an Elteren entwéckelt, mat der Conclusioun datt déi schlecht Erfarung duerch Ënnerstëtzung ka verhënnert ginn an duerch d'Thema zur richteger Zäit unzegoen mat der richteger Virbereedung vun den Elteren, déi duerch Artikelen besser verstinn wéi se guidéieren an besser erzéie kënnen fir Meedercher ze stäerken an hinnen ze hëllefen sech selwer besser ze kennen.

Research: The first step about how to improve the experience of the first menstruation was to investigate the causes of a bad experience, followed by a survey of 27 mothers and 18 women between 18-46 years of what was their experience and how could it be improved. Once with this information, a psychologist and a doctor were spoken to find out how this experience affects various aspects of development. Together with these people, they iterated until they reached an interface that revealed the weaknesses of education and helped prevent a bad first experience.
Inspiration: first time, unfortunately most of them had a negative experience that will mark their physical and emotional development, but worse still, some of them died. Girls from 9-13 years old, who committed suicide caused by bullying they suffered due to the ignorance of their peers, parents and teachers about menstruation and the female body. This could be prevented with a opportune education but sadly in some places is considered taboo
Project Duration: Maybe started in September 2019, is still going in Puebla, Mexico.
