When buying clothes, we actually pay a lot of attention to their fabrics.
Generally speaking, cotton clothes are the most popular in the market, and many people will also identify pure cotton or cotton fabrics when buying clothes.
But in fact, what many people don't know is that pure cotton ≠ 100% cotton, and there is a very big difference between pure cotton and pure cotton.
"Cotton" and "Cotton"
In daily life, as a parent, I am very concerned about the material of the clothes worn by my children.
When going to buy clothes, parents will casually ask what kind of material the clothes are made of.
If the answer is pure cotton or cotton clothes, parents will be very relieved to pay.
In the hearts of most people, cotton and cotton clothes are very comfortable to wear, and they do not have much impact on the child's body, and the child can wear it with confidence.
As for those clothes made of polyester and spinning materials, they are directly not taken into account by parents.
In fact, just from the two "pure cotton" and "all cotton", there seems to be no difference, anyway, they are all made of cotton.
Generally speaking, in the understanding of those of us who are laymen, pure cotton is something that is all cotton, and it is also a fabric that is "pure" only cotton.
And cotton is taken literally, that is, the whole item is cotton.
In such a comparison, then whether it is pure cotton or cotton, it seems that the meaning is the same, anyway, it is all cotton.
So is this really the case?
If so, why are there two names: pure cotton and cotton?
The difference between the two
If you look at the definition of cotton, in fact, the difference between the two is very large.
Cotton is actually the same as its literal meaning, and it is indeed 100% cotton content.
The word "all" is actually very clear and clearly tells us that this product is 100% cotton, and there can be no other fiber.
It can be said that all cotton fabrics are yarns made of cotton fibers, and they cannot be mixed with other fibers.
It is undeniable that the quality of this fabric is very good, not only has very good breathability, but even moisture absorption is very strong.
It can be said that cotton clothes are very suitable for wearing in warm or humid environments, and there will be no allergies.
The cotton content of pure cotton is actually more than 75%, and it is rarely able to reach 100% cotton content.
Since the cotton content is only 75%, what is the rest?
Obviously, it is to mix some other materials into the cotton, such as polyester, nylon and other materials that parents look down on.
In fact, this is a word game played by merchants and consumers, pure cotton does sound like it is all cotton, and few consumers will ask some other questions carefully.
But although it is true that most of the pure cotton is cotton, in the end it is mixed with something else, and from any point of view, its purity is not so pure.
For example, when we go to buy silver jewelry, we will hear the salesperson say that there is pure silver or pure silver jewelry.
The sterling silver in their mouths is actually not exactly 100% silver, basically more than 90%, but it is a little worse than 100%.
But even so, as long as it is close, it can be called "pure", which is actually the same as pure cotton, as long as the content reaches the specified limit, it can be called "pure cotton".
Therefore, when we buy clothes, we hear that pure cotton is not the same as "cotton".
In fact, although there is only one word difference between pure cotton and pure cotton, they are completely two different fabrics, and there is a very big difference.
This is actually a kind of "word game" that some merchants play with consumers when they are selling.
So when we buy clothes or other textiles, how should we choose?
How do we choose?
From the practice alone, we can find that the production process of cotton is very complex, and it is necessary to ensure that other yarns cannot be mixed in the whole production process.
Therefore, the price of cotton is definitely slightly more expensive than that of cotton.
As for the quality, in fact, the quality of pure cotton is already very good, but after all, it is still mixed with some other things, and the feeling of wearing it will definitely be a little rougher than that of pure cotton.
So how should we choose the material of clothes in our daily life?
In fact, most people have the impression that clothes with higher cotton content actually look crumpled and not smooth at all, so they will give people a feeling of being old.
But in fact, this is actually a misunderstanding of this material.
You know, in fact, those clothes that look crumpled are basically cotton clothes, which is actually caused by the characteristics of cotton itself.
We can imagine that when we saw cotton when we were children, it would be pulled into filaments with just a gentle pull, and it would be difficult for it to return to its original fluffy shape after squeezing.
But it is undeniable that cotton clothes are very hygroscopic and breathable, and in summer, if we wear cotton clothes, we don't have to worry about sweating or sticky feeling on our bodies.
It can be said that cotton clothes can keep you dry and cool at all times.
But after wearing it for a long time, the shortcomings of wrinkled cotton clothes will indeed be exposed, which is a headache for many people.
If you want to wear that very "showy" feeling, then you need to take it out and iron it.
However, because the pure cotton is made of some other materials, it is not so easy to wrinkle.
We need to pay attention to the fact that whether it is pure cotton or cotton clothes, after buying them and washing them several times, they will actually shrink, which is also caused by the characteristics of cotton, which cannot be avoided.
Therefore, when we buy cotton clothes, if the merchant tells us that it will not shrink, then we should be careful.
Generally speaking, when we buy bedding, we will pay more attention to the difference between cotton and cotton than when we buy clothes.
You know, although the bedding looks almost the same, the price is very different, and behind this, it is because of the different materials.
But in any case, pure cotton and cotton are actually a very good fabric composition in a wide range, and the most obvious difference is price and quality.
As for whether to choose pure cotton or cotton, it actually depends on personal needs.
If someone is looking for quality, then they don't hesitate to choose cotton products.
If someone doesn't want to spend too much money, then pure cotton is actually a good choice.
In fact, it is all a personal choice.
