Will I feel stuffy if I wear clothes made of nonwoven fabric for a long time?

Wearing clothes made of non-woven fabric for a long time may cause a certain degree of stuffiness, depending on the type, thickness, breathability, and wearing environment of the non-woven fabric. The following is a point by point introduction:

1、 Reasons for the stuffiness of non-woven clothing
Limited breathability
Some non-woven fabrics (such as meltblown fabrics and composite materials) have poor breathability in order to improve their protective effect, which can easily lead to the accumulation of moisture and heat.
Poor moisture absorption
Most non-woven fabrics (such as polypropylene materials) have low moisture absorption, making it difficult for human sweat to be absorbed, resulting in discomfort around the body.
Not possessing good heat dissipation performance
Heat is not easily dissipated through fabrics, especially in high-temperature environments or high-intensity operations, which can make one feel stuffy and hot.

2、 Design methods that may alleviate the feeling of stuffiness and heat
Use materials with good breathability
Choose spunbond non-woven fabric or non-woven fabric treated with micropores to improve air circulation.
Adopting SMS structure
In the three-layer composite fabric, the outer layer is strong and tough, the middle layer is protective, and the inner layer is skin friendly and breathable, resulting in better overall performance.
Add breathable holes or mesh design
Open micropores in specific areas to improve local ventilation, such as underarms or back.
Add a sweat absorbing layer to the inner lining
Thin layer cotton or moisture absorbing non-woven fabric can be added internally to enhance wearing comfort.

3、 Experience differences in different application scenarios
Short term wearing (such as for surgery)
Usually, there is no obvious feeling of stuffiness, and protective measures should be prioritized.
Wearing for a long time (such as in factories or outdoor work)
If there is no good ventilation design, it is easy to cause discomfort, and replacement or improvement of materials should be considered.
