Improving the structural specifications of the fabrics used in the production of Breast-feeding pads

Medical fabrics are considered one of the modern technologies in 
the field of fabric production, which is a mixture of medical 
sciences and spinning and weaving technology. It is also known 
as textile products that are used in the field of health and human 
care.
The fabrics used in the medical fields are considered of medical 
fabrics, which requires our interest to catch up with the progress 
in the field of technology and textile design, Hence we need to 
develop and raise the efficiency of the performance of these 
fabrics to bring it to the level of quality, which achieves its 
effectiveness in the field of global competition.
This research aims to study the Production of Breastfeeding pads 
used to prevent milk leaking from the breast from appearing on 
clothes It is one of the essentials that a mother needs while 
breastfeeding through the production of fabric samples (woven -
knitwear) and to determine the most suitable materials, as raw 
materials (100% cotton - cotton / polyester 50% - 50%) and also 
the most suitable structural compositions for production, as it 
used plain 1/1, Twill 2/1 and Jersey and Rib 1/1

The most important results that were reached through the 
research were as follows:
1- The Twill 2/1 cotton / polyester 50%: 50% sample recorded 
the lowest weight among the samples, while plain 1/1 cotton 
100% recorded the highest weight among the produced samples.
2- The Twill 2/1 cotton / polyester 50%: 50% sample recorded 
the lowest thickness among the samples, while plain 1/1 cotton 
100% recorded the highest weight among the produced samples.
3- The samples produced using cotton 100% recorded the highest 
air permeability, as the jersey cotton 100% sample achieve the 
highest air permeability, while the plain sample 1/1 polyester 
100% recorded the lowest air permeability among the samples 
produced.
4- The jersey cotton 100% sample recorded the highest 
percentage of water absorption among the samples, while the 
plain 1/1 polyester 100% sample recorded the lowest water 
absorption percentage among the produced samples.
