Abstract
Measurements of fabric-to-skin friction have shown that glabrous and hairy skin behave differently when the skin is wet. Moisture on the skin is more important than the fiber type or the fabric construction parameters tested in these experiments in determining fabric-to-skin friction.Keywords
