Building on our previous work using weaving as a material practice for understanding and expressing menstrual lived experiences, we developed Cycloom, an interactive prototype centred on digital weaving. In response to the quantification and homogenisation of bodily experience in many existing menstrual tracking technologies, Cycloom allows individuals to customise material parameters, revise their creations, and explore different combinations. In doing so, it invites reflection on menstrual experience as something messy, fluid, and situated.

Because menstrual apps remain one of the most familiar and widely used ways of engaging with menstrual experiences, we position Cycloom as a bridge between material practice and screen-based interaction, and explore how digital menstrual technologies might move beyond tracking and prediction towards more reflective, intimate, and emotionally expressive forms of engagement. Based on this work, we also discuss the challenges and considerations involved in translating material practices across media, and offer several implications for future menstrual technologies.
