[0002] Washing your face is a daily necessity. As people's lives become increasingly rich, there are also various ways to wash your face, such as using facial washcloths at home and portable facial washcloths for when going out.
[0003] Some existing facial washcloths consist of a base layer and a cotton loop attached to the base layer. In these cases, the cotton loop is longer, resulting in a thicker overall washcloth and resulting in poor softness during use. Furthermore, a longer cotton loop also leads to unevenness between the loops, resulting in a messy appearance. This, in turn, causes significant friction between the cotton loop and the face or other sensitive areas during cleansing, compromising comfort. The high friction also makes the cotton loop prone to tearing, meaning the cotton easily detaches from the washcloth. CONTENTS OF THE PRESENT USE SAMPLE

[0016] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0017] In the description of the present utility model, it is to be understood that the orientation or position relationship indicated by the terms top, bottom, etc. is based on the orientation or position relationship of the product during normal use.
[0018] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying a relative meaning or as implying the number of specified technical features. Therefore, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of these features. Example I:
[0019] Facial washcloth with a base layer 1 according to embodiment I of the present utility model, with reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 to Fig.4, wherein several cotton bodies 2 are formed on at least one side of the base layer 1, the cotton body 2 being made of flexible fiber material, the flexible fiber material being cotton fiber, bamboo fiber, polyester fiber, microfiber, etc., wherein one end of the cotton body 2 is connected to the base layer 1 and the other end of the cotton body 2 is separate from the base layer 1, the cotton height of the cotton body 2 being 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm. The cotton height of the cotton body of the face washcloth according to the present utility model is shorter and the overall thickness of the face washcloth is less, so that the face washcloth is lighter and softer to use.The lightweight facial washcloth is easy to take with you when you go out, or it can be packaged in a pouch for convenient access when needed, allowing for a variety of uses. The cotton strands have a shorter pile, saving material and reducing production costs. This shorter pile also makes the cloth neater. During cleansing, less friction between the cotton strands and the face improves comfort, reduces shedding, and ensures long-lasting durability.
[0020] Furthermore, it is planned, with reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig.4. The entire side surface of the base layer 1 is evenly covered with the cotton fibers 2 to increase the number of cotton fibers, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect. The cotton fiber height 2 is between 2.4 mm and 2.6 mm. This moderate cotton fiber height provides the facial washcloth with both improved softness and cleaning power, resulting in a good user experience. When the cotton fiber height 2 is set to 2.5 mm or close to 2.5 mm, the facial washcloth not only offers improved softness but also enhanced cleaning power, resulting in more balanced performance and a better user experience. Since the length of the cotton fibers is relatively short according to this utility model, their height falls within the small range of 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm, thus achieving a similar level of performance.For example, 2.4 mm and 2.6 mm are also within the aforementioned range of approximately 2.5 mm. The cotton body 2 is formed on both sides of the base layer 1 using a warp knitting process, so that both sides of the facial washcloth can perform the function of cleaning and wiping, which is convenient to use.
[0021] Furthermore, it is planned, with reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig.4, that the cotton heights of the cotton bodies 2 are set differently on both sides of the base layer 1, wherein the cotton height of the cotton body 2 on one side is 2.0 mm to 2.4 mm, making the softness of the cotton body better on that side, wherein the cotton height of the cotton body 2 on the other side is 2.5 mm to 3.0 mm, making the cleaning power of the cotton body better on that side, or wherein the cotton height of the cotton body 2 on one side is 2.2 mm to 2.35 mm, making the softness of the cotton body better on that side, and the cotton height of the cotton body 2 on the other side is 2.7 mm to 2.85 mm, making the cleaning power of the cotton body better on that side.The cotton strands on both sides of the face wash can be adjusted to different lengths, allowing the user to select the appropriate side for cleaning and wiping according to their needs or for different areas of the face, thus expanding the range of applications. Generally, the softness of the cotton strand decreases with increasing strand height, while the cleaning power of a particular side of the face wash increases with increasing strand height. For softer and more sensitive areas like the face, the shorter strand of cotton can be used. The shorter strand is softer and less abrasive to the skin than the longer strand. For less sensitive areas like the hands, the longer strand of cotton can be used.By increasing a certain frictional force against the shorter side of the cotton pile, the cleaning intensity can be improved, thus enabling a variety of application scenarios to meet the different needs of users.
[0022] Furthermore, it is planned, with reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 4. The facial washcloth is manufactured using a warp knitting process. This warp knitting method results in smaller and more densely distributed gaps between the cotton strands, improving water absorption. Warp-knitted facial washcloths are less prone to deformation or unraveling, offering greater durability and dimensional stability. This allows them to retain their original shape and performance even after multiple uses.
[0023] Facial washcloths have a weight of 160 g / m² per square gram. 2up to 200 g / m² 2 , with reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 to Fig. 4. In this embodiment, the weight of the facial washcloth is 180 g / m². 2 per square gram. The facial washcloth has a moderate weight, so it is neither too light to absorb insufficient water nor too heavy to wring out. Furthermore, the material of the facial washcloth is made of polyester-nylon composite microfiber, which offers the advantages of high water absorption, strong decontamination, a soft feel, long lifespan, and easy cleaning. The fineness of the individual cotton fibers is 0.1 dpf to 0.3 dpf. Due to its small diameter, the microfiber has low flexural stiffness, which makes the fiber feel softer and provides strong cleaning power.
[0024] Furthermore, the fineness of the individual fiber of the cotton body 2 in this embodiment is 0.23 dpf or close to 0.23 dpf; for example, 0.22 dpf, 0.225 dpf, 0.235 dpf, 0.24 dpf, etc., are each close to 0.23 dpf. It should be noted that the dpf of a fiber refers to the fineness of an individual fiber. The unit is denier, which represents the weight of the 9000-meter-long fiber in grams, and the formula is DPF = Total denier (D) / (Number of individual filaments × Number of splits). In this embodiment, the formula for calculating the fineness of the individual fiber of the cotton body is: DPF = 75 / 324 ≈ 0.23.
[0025] Furthermore, the test data for this facial washcloth are provided as follows: Test object Basis for examination Test result Fiber fineness FZ / T01057.3-2007GB / T 10685 -2007 0.23 dpf Fiber height (cotton height) FZ / T01057.1-2007 2.4 mm
[0026] The basis for the audit is stated as follows: Fiber fineness FZ / T01057.3-2007 Test method for the identification of textile fibers - Part 3: Microscopy GB / T10685-2007 Test method for the diameter of wool fibers Projection microscopy River height FZ / T01057.1-2007 Test method for the identification of textile fibers - Part 1: General description
[0027] Fig.Figure 5 is a diagram of the fiber cross-section obtained during the aforementioned testing process, with reference to Fig. 5. Example II:
[0028] The difference between embodiment II and embodiment I lies in the fact that, with reference to Fig. 6, that the cotton height of the cotton body 2 is set equally on both sides of the base layer 1, which results in simple processing and low manufacturing costs.
[0029] The cotton body of the face wash according to the present utility model is shorter, and the overall thickness of the face wash is reduced, making it lighter and softer to use. The lightweight face wash is easy to take along when going out, or it can be packaged in a pouch so that the face wash can be easily removed for use by simply opening the pouch, thus enabling a variety of application scenarios. The shorter cotton body also saves material and reduces production costs. The shorter cotton body also makes the face wash neater.During cleaning, friction between the cotton pad and the face is reduced, improving user comfort, preventing cotton shedding, and ensuring high durability. The cotton pad heights on both sides can be adjusted to the same or different lengths, allowing the user to select the appropriate side for cleaning and wiping according to their needs or for different areas, thus expanding the range of applications. The base layer is manufactured using a warp knitting process, resulting in smaller and denser gaps between the cotton pads for improved water absorption. The cotton pad is made of a polyester-nylon composite microfiber material, offering the advantages of high water absorption, effective decontamination, a soft feel, long lifespan, and easy cleaning.The cotton body is made of microfiber material and the fineness of the individual fiber of the cotton body is 0.1 dpf to 0.3 dpf, which makes the fiber feel softer and gives it strong cleaning power.
[0030] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without deviating from the technical principles of the present utility model. These improvements and modifications are also to be considered within the scope of protection of the present utility model. QUOTES INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION
