How Does InterDry Work?

InterDry is highly effective against the itching, odor and burning associated with Intertrigo because it addresses the root cause of the problem. The fabric wicks away moisture, keeping the skin dry.

The fabric of InterDry is a soft polyester which reduces friction in the skin fold.
The antimicrobial silver in the fabric fights the itching and odor from bacteria, fungus and yeast.

InterDry is the solution for skin-on-skin irritation where creams and powders have failed.

InterDry® Ag Textile Sheets with Antimicrobial Silver Complex 

 
InterDry is used to eliminate skin on skin irritation and inflammation.  People have skin folds or places on their body where skin touches skin.  These places of contact are ideal for a type of skin rash, called Intertigo*, that thrives in hot and sweaty places on where skin rubs skin.  Typical places that are vulnerable to this rash include: stomach folds, under the breasts, groin and armpit area.  In addition to this rash, odor, itching and burning can also manifest coming from bacteria, yeast and fungus.

InterDry is a moisture wicking fabric containing antimicrobial silver.  The fabric wicks away moisture so your skin stays dry and helps eliminate skin-on-skin friction. And the antimicrobial silver in the fabric fights itching and odor-causing bacteria so you can be active, comfortable and confident all day.
