Source of comparative test samples
This comparative test sample was organized by Beijing Consumers Association staff for ordinary consumption The identity of the user was purchased from e-commerce platforms such as Tmall, JD.com, Suning.com, Vipshop, and No. 1 Store, involving 100 samples from 50 brands. The text or pictures on the webpages promoted moisture-absorbing, quick-drying or moisture-wicking properties. and other functions, the purchase price ranges from 41 yuan to 2,200 yuan.

23 samples with poor moisture absorption and quick drying
01
Formaldehyde content
Formaldehyde content is a safety indicator of textiles. Textiles containing formaldehyde will gradually release free formaldehyde when people wear them, which can cause formaldehyde through human respiratory tract and skin contact. Respiratory inflammation and skin inflammation can also cause eye irritation.

pH value
PH value is a safety indicator of textiles and a reflection of the pH of textile fabrics. Since human skin is slightly acidic, when the pH value of textiles is too different from that of human skin, the acid-base balance of the skin will be destroyed, making the skin susceptible to other pathogens.
After testing, the pH value of one sample exceeded the range specified by the national standard:

After testing, the color fastness of 2 samples did not meet the national standard requirements:

Consumer purchases When buying clothing and other products, pay attention to the product’s instructions for use (i.e. product hangtag), which should include the name and address of the manufacturer. When purchasing products with moisture-absorbing or quick-drying functions, you also need to check whether the instructions for use indicate special functions.
