Fifty-three people tested an incontinence product with a top-sheet of 100% polypropylene and one with a top-sheet of a TENCEL\u00ae BIOSOFT blend for four weeks each.<\/p>\n<p>The result was unequivocal: the TENCEL\u00ae BIOSOFT blend was awarded top marks. The performance of the product itself was given a positive rating as were the properties which led to a better feeling on the skin. One point particularly worthy of mention was that when using the TENCEL\u00ae BIOSOFT product the likelihood of sleeping through the night rose quite clearly (by approximately 10%) for those participating since this product needed to be changed less frequently due to the additional wear comfort.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, using TENCEL\u00ae BIOSOFT translates directly into improved incontinence products. \u201cA survey of affected parties revealed that among otherwise healthy human beings, the burden of incontinence leads to restrictions in everyday life and each improvement in this situation positively impacts well-being ,\u201d Elisabeth Stanger, Global Director of Hygiene at Lenzing, explains.<\/p>\n<p>The study will be presented at the upcoming conferences: \u201cInsight Conference\u201d from October 20-23 in Indianapolis USA and at \u201cOutlook Asia\u201d from November 26-27 in Singapore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the \u201cOutlook in Barcelona\u201d conference, Lenzing shared results of consumer tests using TENCEL\u00ae BIOSOFT, an ultra-soft hydrophobic Lyocell fiber type, in the top-sheet of incontinence products.
