Annotation: The article discusses the means of protecting clothing from traces of sweat – disposable pads / liners from sweat. The negative repeated effects of sweat on the fabric are analysed and the main quality indicators of disposable sweat liners/pads are formulated. A method is proposed for determining surface capillarity and water absorption as the most important indicators of the quality of sweat pads. Solutions simulating sweat (alkaline and acidic) are used to carry out the technique, the degree of effect of the solutions on the surface capillarity and water absorption of disposable sweat liners/gaskets is analysed. The relationship between the mass of the absorbed liquid and the area of the stain spread over the surface of disposable sweat pads is analysed
Keywords: sweating, sweat pads (liners), quality indicators, surface capillarity, water absorption, acidic solution of sweat, alkaline solution of sweat
