Holistic Vision

What am I hoping to co-design? 

Easy-to-open and safe packaging to access shampoo/bath care products. It may be one of the most significant challenges to tackle when it comes to body care, however, evolution over revolution!

What am I hiring the bottle to do?

Aside being a means to offer a cleaning medium – the container is assigned to afford dignity to the elderly as they go about their showering routine, by making the product dispensing component easy to use.

Dignity and independence can not be lost because of overlooked ageist designs!

Features to consider in the iterative design process:

• Silicone band in middle for easy grip in a wet environment
• Rubber base allows no slip
• Suction cup to attach the bottle to the shower wall, especially if limited space in shower/bathroom.
• Simple flip cover and squeeze gently to dispense the contents.*
• Opaque bottle to keep track of contents making it refillable with one’s favourite brand or buying in bulk to limit waste.
• Ideal for other liquids such as lotions, liquid soap, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel
• Create an aesthetically pleasing design to spark delight!

Next Iterations:

• *Offer a wider pump option instead of nozzle
• Bottle needs to be lightweight, portable and secure for travel
• Ensure material used can afford all contents to be pumped/squeezed (leave no product behind!)
