What are the nonwoven products in the hygiene field?

1. Hygiene Wipes

As the main material of  Hygiene napkins, nonwoven fabric has become the market's mainstream. Compared with traditional Hygiene napkins, nonwoven napkins are softer and more comfortable and can better fit the body's curves, reducing side leakage and discomfort. At the same time, their high absorbency and fast drying characteristics also ensure that the user is dry and comfortable during menstruation.

2. Medical masks

Nonwovens are also widely used in the field of medical masks. Medical masks need to have a variety of functions, such as protection against particles and liquid splashes, and the high-density fibres of nonwovens can filter airborne bacteria and viruses well while at the same time having breathability, making breathing more natural and comfortable. The nonwoven material has a tolerable water content, even in the face.

3. Facial Mask

As people's demand for beauty and skincare increases, nonwoven fabrics are beginning to take their place in the mask industry. Compared with other mask materials, nonwoven fabrics have better adsorption and fit, which can penetrate the essence into the deeper layers of the skin, thus achieving better moisturizing, repairing and whitening effects.

4. Wet wipes and dry wipes

Nonwoven wipes are a convenient and practical cleaning tool with many applications. With high absorbency and soft comfort, nonwoven wipes can remove dirt and bacteria from hands more effectively and are also suitable for various scenarios, such as daily baby care and household cleaning.
