ASK JUNlOR Chitosan Series is specifically designed for children’s intimate garments, especially the gusset of underpants. Featuring a natural material and cutting-edge technology, it provides children with a more hygienic and healthier wearing solution.
Chitosan, usually obtained from the shells of shrimp, crabs, and other crustaceans or the cell walls of some fungi, is known as a renewable green material. With outstanding biodegradability and biocompatibility, it is widely used in fields such as medicine and cosmetics. The brand innovatively introduces the material into textile engineering, creating a hypoallergenic and non-irritating fabric that merges medical-grade safety with everyday wearability.
Unlike synthetic chemical fibers, ASK JUNlOR Chitosan Series with exceptional skin compatibility ensures worry-free use for mothers and infants. It offers children enough comfort to support their naturally active and energetic nature by preventing friction-induced irritation and itches—safe even for sensitive or compromised skin. Moreover, the fabric, leveraging the natural antibacterial and deodorizing properties of chitosan, effectively inhibits microbial growth to protect children from skin issues (allergic dermatitis, rashes, etc.), and minimizes unpleasant odors to keep clothing fresh over time. In addition, it boasts superior moisture-absorbing capabilities to help children maintain dry and comfortable even during physical activities, thus reducing the risk of skin allergies associated with dampness—suitable for children’s tender skin.
Notably, the brand employs an advanced spinning process. The process combines the advantages of combing, compact spinning, and sirospun techniques, resulting in a 36-gauge fabric (170g/m2) with a uniform, delicate texture, a soft, smooth touch, good drape, and excellent dye affinity—making it an ideal choice for children’s underwear.
