The main cause of unpleasant smells is the development of ammonia in the urine. The Attends core can bind and lock away ammonia and thereby reduces the risk of unpleasant smells. Binding of ammonia results in a lower pH, more towards the normal pH of the skin. No perfumes or additives are used.

The main cause of unpleasant smells is the development of ammonia in the urine. The Attends core bind and lock away ammonia. The combination with the unique Quick-Dry™ technology gives both optimal dryness to the skin and significant better odour protection. No perfumes or additives are used.

Quick-Dry is proven patented technology. A layer of curly fibres is positioned immediately beneath the top sheet. When the fibres come into contact with liquid, they quickly transport it away from the skin and into the storage layer. There, liquid is turned into gel, which reduces the risk of leakage. 
Quick-Dry technology allows rapid absorption, keeps the skin dry and reduces the risk of leakage.
Furthermore, the fibres have the flexibility to handle several gushes with almost the same efficiency.

Figure 1 ? The absorption process of the Attends Quick Dry-technology
A ? The top layer lets the liquid through to the Quick Dry
B ? The curly fibres below the surface distribute the liquid quickly into the storage layer
C ?The liquid is transformed then into gel, leaving the surface of the pad dry.

The special product design provides extra protection from leakage around the legs.  It allows the urine to spread inside the pad and under the leg barriers, but prevents wetting from underneath by locking the urine inside.
