Each of us is familiar with the problems of creasing of clothes, as well as the smell that remains on it after lunch or a scorching day. Historically, people have tried to cope with these problems, and to this day there has been no right solution answer.
Someone continues to wear ordinary cotton clothes that quickly deteriorate, crumple and need daily washing or ironing. Someone finds a solution in synthetic materials. Even though clothes made of synthetic fibers can partly help with the smell and almost doesn’t wrinkle, continually wearing may threaten serious health problems. Synthetic fabrics do not absorb sweat from the skin, provide poor insulation, and they do not allow the skin to breathe. Too frequent and prolonged wearing may cause allergies or effect on a lymphatic system.
