Hi, I'm Marcell, I love designing objects that have a unique shape to them. Let's meet "Blop", or the bleed stop, which stops epistaxis or nosebleeds in a short amount of time. The product is designed for active people such as sports lovers, kids, and athletes. Although nosebleeds are not serious, it is very annoying to deal with, causing you to take a moment to sit down and stop the bleed. With the Blop, the user can attach it to their nose and it will work by adding pressure, cold temperature and cotton pads to stop the bleed without the user having to waste time. By using this product, the user can be active as Blop does its job.

Features of the product
The Blop works by combining a number of elements to stop a nosebleed. Each side of the product has a pill-shaped protrusion that acts as a suppressor for the capillaries in the nose, preventing the bleed. It is led by the cooling gel found on the product's main interior body. This cools down the nose and further stopping the bleeding. At the very bottom of the blop is 2 two arms that can be broken off easily depending on where the bleed is located. While the cotton on the bottom helps absorb the remaining blood.
