Fifty-three people tested an incontinence product with a top-sheet of 100% polypropylene and one with a top-sheet of a TENCEL BIOSOFT blend, for four weeks each.
According to Lenzing, the result was unequivocal as TENCEL BIOSOFT blend was awarded top marks.
“The performance of the product itself was given a positive rating as were the properties which led to a better feeling on the skin,” Lenzing said.
“When using TENCEL BIOSOFT made product, the likelihood of sleeping through the night rose quite clearly for those participating, since this product needed to be changed less frequently due to the additional wear comfort,” Lenzing explained.
“A survey of affected parties revealed that among otherwise healthy human beings, the burden of incontinence leads to restrictions in everyday life and each improvement in this situation positively impacts well-being ,” Elisabeth Stanger, Global Director of Hygiene at Lenzing, explains.
The study will also be presented at “Insight Conference” from October 20-23 in Indianapolis - USA and at “Outlook Asia” from November 26-27 in Singapore. (AR)
