Recently, everyone has gained a lot of knowledge about disposable masks, but when it comes to disposable underwear, which is also a member of the disposable product family, many people are still confused. So let me introduce disposable underwear to you.
As early as 1994, an article titled "Suggestions on the Development and Production of Disposable Underwear" was published in the Beijing Textile magazine. The author Zhou Xiaoling had a unique vision and found that the domestic non-woven fabric industry was developing rapidly at that time. Disposable "disposable" products were launched on the market in different forms, and more and more entered people's lives, bringing convenience to people and updating their concepts. Such as non-woven products such as sanitary napkins; diaper pads; surgical gowns, caps, and covers; napkins, face towels; construction and geotextiles, etc. However, there are still many gaps in this field, and disposable underwear is one of them. Therefore, at that time, it was recommended that manufacturers with conditions develop and produce disposable underwear.

In addition, in 1996, Xiao Xiaolei published an article titled "Six Major Schools of Consumer Goods" in Market Observation, in which disposable goods were mentioned in the first item. Among them, it is not difficult to find the shadow of disposable underwear.

Wow~ It turns out that disposable underwear has already entered people’s sight. Whenever you need it, the editor has prepared it for you.

After reading this, you will feel that it is so convenient. It is definitely a must-have artifact when going out.

How to choose safe and reliable disposable underwear 1. Look at the product packaging.

Whether the product implementation standards, hygiene standards, safety technology categories, national health license number and other information are indicated.

Tips
Disposable products should comply with the relevant standards of GB 15979-2002 "Hygiene Standards for Disposable Hygiene Products", and should not have abnormal odors and foreign matter, and should not cause adverse stimulation and allergic reactions to the skin and mucous membranes, as well as other damaging effects. Their raw materials and packaging should be non-toxic and harmless, and clearly indicate the name of the contents, the production unit, etc. The products must eventually be sterilized using effective methods such as ethylene oxide, ionizing radiation, and pressure steam (the most common is ethylene oxide sterilization).
According to the mandatory national standard GB 18401-2010 "National Basic Safety Technical Specifications for Textile Products", safety technology Class A is the best, and products that come into direct contact with the skin should at least meet Class B requirements.

Disposable underwear is a product that comes into direct contact with the skin, so it must at least meet Class B requirements.

2. Look at the material.

The materials of disposable underwear on the market are mainly divided into: pure cotton textile fabrics, pure cotton non-woven fabrics, mixed (containing a certain amount of cotton + polyester fiber), colored cotton (natural colored cotton fabrics) and bamboo fiber, etc.

Tips
Pure cotton in disposable underwear refers to: pure cotton textile fabrics and pure cotton non-woven fabrics.

Both have good breathability.

Pure cotton fabric is non-irritating, skin-friendly, and moisture-absorbent.

Non-woven fabrics, also known as nonwoven fabrics, are often used in disposable products such as sanitary napkins and diapers. They are characterized by smooth pressure points and environmental protection and antibacterial properties, but they have poor durability, lack of elasticity, and poor fit.

The difference between the two is that non-woven fabrics are not as comfortable as pure cotton fabrics, but they are cheaper.

3. Look at the disinfection method.

Disposable underwear is generally sterilized by ethylene oxide, and can also be sterilized by ultraviolet light.

4. Check the shelf life.

Disposable underwear is a sanitary product, so there is a shelf life issue. You should check the time limit when purchasing. Generally, each pair of disposable underwear is individually sterile and sealed, and the shelf life is usually three years in an unopened state.

A few questions about disposable underwear

1. Can disposable underwear be worn without washing?

Yes. As long as it is a qualified product from a regular brand, it is strictly sterilized, and the operator's clothing, masks, and shoes are also sterilized by ultraviolet light to ensure that the product will not be contaminated during the production process. Therefore, as long as it is a qualified product from a regular manufacturer, it can be used with confidence.

2. Can disposable underwear be worn for a long time?

It is not recommended to wear it for a long time, as materials like non-woven fabrics have poor moisture absorption and breathability.

3. Can disposable underwear really only be worn once?

T/CTES1020—2019 Disposable Underwear In recent years, the consumer market for disposable underwear has grown rapidly. Due to a series of defects such as small scale, poor production conditions, low technical level, and irregular product testing and quality control in some disposable underwear manufacturers, the quality of disposable underwear products varies greatly and cannot meet the needs of the consumer market.

Therefore, the China Textile Engineering Society organized Xiamen Youpai Nonwoven Products Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Youquan Care Products Technology Co., Ltd. and other units to formulate the "Disposable Underwear" group standard.

The formulation of this standard is conducive to standardizing the various quality requirements of disposable underwear manufacturers for their products, helping to improve product quality and avoid quality disputes; it is also conducive to standardizing the production standards of disposable underwear manufacturers, eliminating disadvantaged companies and promoting further development of the industry.
