Abstract:

The overall wearability evaluation of disposable diapers provides a theoretical basis for the development of evaluation system and product optimization. Therefore, progress in overall wearability evaluation of dusposable diapers was reviewed and future research field was prospected in this paper according to diapers functional requirements and technical status. In view of the interactive relationship among diapers moisture management capability, contact comfort, heat and moisture comfort and fit comfort, the performance evaluation priorities was put forward. The future study in disposable diapers wearabklity evaluation may focus on the beat and moisture transfer mechanism between its multilayer constructions, the professional experimental platform and measuring instruments, and the comfort evaluation system of disposable diapers. The balance of four performances is very important in disposable diapers' overall wearability evaluation, in which the moisture management capability is the premise and the primary modules,contact and thermal comfort are the principal part, and fit comfort is a potential factor that can not be neglected. 

Key words: disposable diapers, wearability, comfort, moisture management capability, evaluation
