Although it generates discolouration and a damp sensation, sweating is a sign of health. The modern man looks for answers to these issues. The design, manufacture, and performance evaluation of a disposable herbal underarm pad are covered in this work. This pad is not designed to prevent sweating; rather, it absorbs sweat and provides a dry feel. The article is divided into three main parts. The first part discusses the design and production of the pad, including a brief history of disposable pads and their use in daily life. The second part analyses the performance of the new pad; it has a dry feel, does not discolour or cause sweat staining, and is comfortable during wear. Finally, the third section discusses possible future designs for disposable underarm pads. The underarm pad consists of nonwoven fabrics skin contact layer, natural fibre core finished with herbal extract and a biofilm made with Manihot esculenta starch. To evaluate the performance of the pad, both objective and subjective tests were performed. Thickness and absorption tests were performed for objective evaluation of product. Male and female test volunteers were used for the subjective evaluations. The test volunteers tried the pads on and assessed how well they fit and comfort with the body, whether they deformed while being worn, and whether they felt dry afterward. A questionnaire was also employed to examine the individuals' perspectives on the pads. It was then established that the underarm pads function well in terms of strength and absorption in addition to having a nice fit and feeling dry after use.
