DermaSilk Intimo

About DermaSilk Intimo Ladies Minishorts

DermaSilk Intimo is a new range of clothing made from a silk-based fabric, with powerful anticrobial protection, designed especially for those with extremely delicate skin and atopic eczema.

DermaSilk Helps:

DermaSilk fabric cannot harbour micro-organisms so will not allow new bacterial or fungal growth against the skin
The antimicrobial coating works to render any existing micro-organisms inactive

What is DermaSilk Intimo?

DermaSilk is manufactured from pure fibroin - the inert part of silk - which has a similar protein make up to hair.

Importantly for sensitive skin or eczema sufferers, it does not contain Sericin - a substance that is present in silk that can result in allergic reactions.

There are also no dyes or other substances in the fabric that will irritate the skin or delicate tissues called mucosa that come into contact with the fabric.

Antimicrobial Protection

Many fabrics provide an ideal breeding ground for harmful and irritating micro-organisms, especially when used in clothing around intimate areas. The combination of body warmth and moisture naturally results in a high concentration of these organisms under the arms and in the crotch of underwear.

To combat this, some garment manufacturers apply antimicrobial coatings to their clothes. However, commonly used antimicrobials - such as triclosan and ionic silver - are not always appropriate for people with sensitive skin or eczema, as the coatings release chemical substances that may be absorbed by the skin and cause irritation or discomfort.

DermaSilk has an antiomicrobial permanently bonded to it, which unlike other antimicrobials, is designed to stay just on the garment and not transfer to the skin. The antimicrobial inhibits bacterial and fungal growth, but does not affect the natural flora of the skin or the mucosa. It attracts unwanted micro-organisms to it and destroys them instantly.

DermaSilk therefore works in 2 ways to protect your skin:

DermaSilk fabric cannot harbour micro-organisms so will not allow new bacterial or fungal growth against the skin
The antimicrobial coating works to render any existing micro-organisms inactive

DermaSilk helps:

Protect against Vulvovaginal Candidosis (Thrush)
Maintain the natural Vaginal Ecosystem
Relieve the symptoms of Lichen Sclerosus

Absorbs up to 30% of its own weight in excess humidity - thus keeping the areas around the genitals fresher and drier leading to fewer genital infections
Helps maintain normal skin and tissue pH levels
