Hygienic solutions for endurance bra constructions
This study aims to investigate solutions for women's upper body intimate-wear that can provide better functionality and comfort that compliment hygienic factors during extreme activities. Applications include extreme conditions; such as women in combat services or travellers who cannot maintain regular hygienic habits such as bathing resulting in uncomfortable physiological condition and may lead to skin diseases. Many bras that are used for active-wear are multilayered and fail to provide both comfort and good moisture management. The women's upper chest area can be an irritating when engaged in certain extreme activities. Due to this fact, women wear bras to support their chest and reduce soft tissue movement and enable them ease of movement. The other prevailing issue is where the bra's physical structure can be irritating for some particular body types and are derived from constructional issues such as material, construction and fit. Most of the antibacterial bras in the market are a combination of woven and knitted structures. This study explores the use of nonwoven materials in combination with knitted structures for a customisable bra construction. A bipolymeric material was applied to this structure to achieve antibacterial attributes and the antimicrobial property was assessed. In this study a nonwoven based bra was designed and tested for its performance to facilitate good moisture management and antibacterial properties related to endurance bras. Results indicate that this construction can be suitable for wearing for an extended time.
