Abstract:	1. 1. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of fiber type and fabric moisture content on SC hydration. 2. 2. Using three similarly constructed fabrics, six fabric type/moisture content combinations were selected. 3. 3. Fabric swatches were placed on both “normal” and “hydrated” volar forearm skin of five subjects for a specified period, then removed. 4. 4. Two minutes after removal, evaporative water loss (EWL) and skin temperature were measured. 5. 5. Data were analyzed using analyses of variance and Bonferroni t-tests. 6. 6. For normal skin, SC hydration generally increased as fabric moisture content increased. SC was significantly drier after being in contact with cotton swatches at regain than at the two moisture content levels above regain, and also under polyester swatches. 7. 7. For hydrated skin, hydration state was significantly lower under the cotton swatch at regain than at 38.6% moisture content or at saturation, but was not significantly different under the polyester swatch at regain or at saturation.
