Nonwoven Fabrics in Hygiene

Have you ever changed a diaper? Put training pants on a toddler? If you’re a woman, you’re probably familiar with feminine hygiene products. All of these, plus incontinence products, all contain nonwovens. Nonwoven fabrics offer many advantages in the hygiene market. Here are a couple of examples.

Have you ever wondered how a diaper can absorb all that liquid? Well, it’s due to the combination of super absorbent polymers, wood pulp and the nonwoven fabric on the diaper. Liquids are dispersed efficiently and absorbed quickly, keeping it away from baby’s skin in comfort.

• Diapers and training pants also have a thin nonwoven fabric that comes in contact with the skin providing a smooth comfortable fit.

• Feminine hygiene products like sanitary napkins, panty liners, lady pants and incontinence products use a combination of super absorbent and nonwoven fabrics as well. All have an unmatched advantage in being able to absorb bodily fluids and dispersing quickly to keep your loved one’s skin dry and safe during special period.
