DISPOSABLE UNDERARM PAD DESIGN

Sweating is a sign of healthiness, but it causes discoloration and a feeling of wetness. The modern man seeks solutions to these problems. This article discusses the design, production and performance analysis of a new disposable underarm pad. This pad is not designed to prevent sweating; rather, it absorbs sweat and provides a dry feel. The underarm pad consists of nonwoven fabrics and a polyethylene film. Objective and subjective tests were conducted to analyze the pad s performance. The objective tests included a strength test, a strike-through test, an absorption test and a wetback test. The subjective tests included trials with female and male subjects. The subjects tried the pads and evaluated their fit to the body, deformation during usage and feeling of dryness.
