About intimate
From the first moments of life to every stage that follows, absorbent hygiene products play a vital role in daily comfort and well-being. That’s why leading brands and manufacturers trust our cellulosic fibers – designed to deliver a soft and smooth feel, and reliability where it matters most.
From Lenzing’s VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers for panty liners to VEOCEL™ Viscose fibers for baby diapers, tampons, and adult incontinence products, our fibers provide the consistent quality needed to meet consumer demands. Derived from responsibly managed wood sources¹, VEOCEL™ fibers can also support your sustainability goals.
Benefits
How absorbent hygiene products benefit from Lenzing fibers
Liquid management
The inherent properties of cellulosic fibers naturally regulate liquid absorption and release. This leads to a uniform distribution of the liquid within the fibers and by extension the personal care products made from them, offering an effective way to care for, and ultimately greater comfort, to your skin.
Totally chlorine-free
VEOCEL™ branded fibers are totally chlorine-free and produced with extensive and advanced quality controls to assure fibers deliver on consumer and industry expectations for usage in intimate products, such as tampons, which come into direct contact with the most sensitive parts of the body.
Fibers with climate actions²
VEOCEL™ Lyocell and Viscose fibers are ClimatePartner certified as part of a bespoke climate action plan, which assesses the carbon footprint of our products, sets targets and implements measures to reduce emissions, supports verified climate projects, and fosters transparency along our supply chain.
Smooth on skin
VEOCEL™ fibers are naturally smooth, enabling fabrics to glide over skin. This makes them a very good material choice for wet wipes owing to the finer surface of VEOCEL™ fibers.
