The Challenge
“Develop intimate apparel that keeps skin dry and comfortable without compromising softness or breathability.”
A Personal Care Company research team needed a yarn solution for premium underwear that could deliver clinical-grade moisture management while maintaining the gentle touch required for sensitive skin contact. Traditional moisture-wicking fabrics felt too technical and lacked the softness consumers expect from intimate wear.

Our Innovation Journey
1
Understanding the Real Problem
Personal care products demand a delicate balance: effective moisture control prevents bacterial growth and skin irritation, but harsh synthetic textures create discomfort. The research team needed yarn that could wick moisture as efficiently as athletic wear while feeling as soft as premium cotton against intimate skin zones.
2
Rethinking Fiber Architecture
Instead of relying on chemical treatments that wash out over time, we engineered a permanent solution into the fiber structure itself. The 8C microporous cross-section creates eight distinct capillary channels that transport moisture through physical geometry rather than surface coatings – meaning performance lasts the lifetime of the garment.
3
Engineering the Breakthrough
Our 3D groove technology forms a unique “8C” pattern in each filament’s cross-section. This creates a quadruple siphon effect – four independent moisture highways that actively pull perspiration away from skin, spread it across fabric surfaces, and accelerate evaporation. The microporous structure maintains ultra-lightweight properties while delivering 40% faster drying than standard polyester.
4
Solving Secondary Challenges
Personal care textiles face rigorous wash cycles and body chemistry variations. Our 8C microporous yarn maintains consistent performance through 100+ wash cycles, resists odor-causing bacteria accumulation in the fiber channels, and can be customized with special cross-sectional designs to optimize softness for different body zones – all while meeting hypoallergenic standards for sensitive skin contact.
