N2 - Moisture management is an important behaviour during engineering of textile material. In case of intimate apparel (which is in close contact with skin), its moisture management property would affect the comfort behaviour during use. Fabric-foam-fabric plied materials are commonly used materials for making intimate apparel. In this study, we prepared different fabric-foam-fabric plied materials by plying polyurethane foams (non-laminated and laminated) with different fabrics. Their performance on absorption rate, accumulative one-way transport capability and spreading speed had been measured objectively in previous works using instrument (moisture management tester) according to AATCC Test Method 195. Based on the data, we can calculate the overall moisture management capability (OMMC) of the piled materials. Therefore, we reported the OMMC values of different plied samples and the results were discussed properly.
