A wearable fabric‐based integrated power‐supply system that generates energy triboelectrically using human activity and stores the generated energy in an integrated supercapacitor is developed. This system can be utilized as either a self‐powered activity monitor or as a power supply for external wearable sensors. These demonstrations give new insights for the research of wearable electronics.
