## Key takeaways

- Diaper rash is primarily triggered by trapped moisture, excessive heat, and mechanical friction — and HygieSoft™ is engineered to address all three at once.
- HygieSoft™'s microporous PE film contains millions of microscale pores that let trapped humidity and body heat escape continuously, keeping skin dry and reducing bacterial growth.
- In-line lamination with soft nonwovens gives HygieSoft™ an ultra-soft, cushioned, noise-free feel that removes the mechanical friction that irritates delicate baby and elderly skin, without sacrificing leak protection.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does the HygieSoft breathable backsheet effectively prevent diaper rash for babies and adult incontinence?

Diaper rash is mainly triggered by trapped moisture, heat, and friction, so HygieSoft targets all three: its microporous PE film lets humidity and body heat escape continuously to keep skin dry and reduce bacterial growth, it maintains absolute leak protection against liquid, and its in-line lamination with soft nonwovens gives an ultra-soft, cushioned, noise-free feel that eliminates the mechanical friction that irritates delicate baby and elderly skin.

### What are the three main triggers of diaper rash that HygieSoft™ is designed to address?

Diaper dermatitis is primarily triggered by trapped moisture, excessive heat, and mechanical friction. HygieSoft™'s microporous PE film releases humidity and heat continuously, its lamination still blocks leaks, and its soft nonwoven surface eliminates the friction that irritates delicate baby and elderly skin.
