Soft side shields add to comfort and protection.
Skin smart fabric: It performs the following functions,
a) keeps the skin dry, wicks urine quickly and locks moisture away from the skin.
b) Promotes skin integrity, larger breathable surface lets the skin breathe by reducing excess heat which prevents perspiration and susceptibility to microbial growth.
c) Hypo-allergenic care with Vitamin E and botanicals, the inner layer which comes in contact with the skin is enriches with botanicals which soothe and promote healthy skin.
Odor guard technology: Using a super absorbent polymer, Odor Guard reduces the total amount of odor-causing ammonia formed during and after the use. This controls odor formation as and when it happens. Even if some odor is generated the super absorbent polymer absorbs it even before it releases into the air. This improves the air quality at a place.
Quick wick layer with MaxSoft technology: It provides advanced softness with rapid liquid acquisition speed to deliver optimal product performance. The skin health improves as it remains dry and leakage reduces. Changing the funnel pattern, size, shape, arrangement and reducing height makes the fabric feel softer. The unique arrangement of the funnels maintains the integrity and stability of the acquisition layer’s areas of absorption. Increasing the number of funnels creates a more permeable layer.
