    Which is better, 95% cotton, 5 spandex or 100% cotton? What kind of fabric is 95 cotton 5 spandex?
    95% pure cotton fabric is medium-thick, it is thinner than 100% high-count and high-density, so it has better warmth retention but its elasticity is not as good as 100% pure cotton, so it is suitable for thinner people to wear.
    95%, this number represents the yarn content of the fabric, generally between 40s and 60s, that is to say, it is 95% in the range of 40~60 yarns, of course, the higher the quality of the fabric, the more expensive it is. The price is also higher.

    The quality of pure cotton is like the quality of silk and linen woolen, which has many layers. From tens of yuan per meter to hundreds of yuan to thousands of yuan, the quality of each level is very different. But here we simply compare it with cotton cloth of general quality. In modern times, it is definitely not a good choice to make t-shirts made of cotton.
    This is why 95% cotton and 5% spandex yarn fabrics are developed.
    1. Pure cotton fabric is easy to wrinkle and deform. It will loosen and lose its shape after several washes in a month.
    2. The reason why 5% spandex is added to pure cotton is actually to add appropriate elastic fibers. This kind of fabric can maintain the comfort of pure cotton to the maximum extent, has a certain elasticity and shaping effect, and is not easy to deform after a long time. The biggest feature is that it is not easy to wrinkle, and it is much more convenient and simple to take care of.
    However, in fact, in daily life, we still use both fabrics as the first choice for daily clothing, so which fabric you should choose in the end should start from your actual use.
