Abstract (English)	Period and incontinence underwear currently rely on synthetic hydrophobic layers that release microplastics and cannot be washed at 60?°C. This project targets plastic?free period and incontinence underwear made from natural fibres, focusing on a biobased hydrophobic barrier function.
