The research
Three problems. What the research found. What we did.
-
Problem 01
Thin skin that tears and bruises.
Older skin shears more under friction, and wet skin is at its most fragile.
The research
−30%
Skin loses about 30% of its collagen in the first five years after menopause. Friction against fabric is higher on wet skin.
Brincat et al., Obstetrics & Gynecology 1987; Thornton, Dermato-Endocrinology 2013; Gerhardt et al., Journal of the Royal Society Interface 2008; Gerhardt et al., Skin Research & Technology 2009
The MIORA fix
Press dry in one touch.
Dense 780 GSM, zero-twist cotton drinks water on contact, so you press instead of rub. Nothing drags across thin skin.

Problem 02
Dry and itchy after every shower.
Towel-drying pulls moisture from skin, and a rough towel makes it worse.
The research
More water loss
In a controlled study, towel-drying raised skin water loss and redness.
Voegeli, Journal of Wound, Ostomy & Continence Nursing 2008
The MIORA fix
Soft cotton, nothing coated on.
Long-staple fibers in open zero-twist loops are soft on their own, with no softener film. Press, leave skin a little damp, moisturize right away.

Problem 03
Night sweats and sour towels.
Polyester holds body odor even after washing, and damp towels go musty.
The research
Even after washing
Polyester held body odor more than cotton, even after washing. Damp towels grow odor bacteria.
Callewaert et al., Applied & Environmental Microbiology 2014; McQueen et al., IJCST 2014 (clothing studies); Kubota et al., Applied & Environmental Microbiology 2012; Van Herreweghen et al., Microorganisms 2020
The MIORA fix
100% cotton, enough to rotate.
No polyester to hold odor, and two of every size so one is always fully dry.
Polyester: 0%
