Moisture regain and moisture content are measures of a textile's ability to absorb moisture, expressed as a percentage. Moisture regain is defined as the percentage of water present in an oven-dried textile sample after it reaches equilibrium in a standard testing environment. Moisture content is defined as the percentage of water present in the total weight of a textile sample. The chemical composition and physical structure of different textile materials determine their moisture absorption properties and resulting moisture regain and content percentages.
