3.Storage points: Folding storage is better than hanging. It is recommended to keep the wardrobe humidity at 50%-60%.
4.Purchase logo: Look for labels such as "preshrinking" and "form stabilization", and give priority to cotton fabrics with a weight of ≥180g.
5. Consumer test report
| Brand | product type | life cycle | Degree of deformation | Repurchase rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brand A | Long staple cotton shirt | 2 years | Slightly loose neckline | 78% |
| Brand B | Lycra cotton T-shirt | 1.5 years | Basically no deformation | 92% |
| C brand | organic cotton underwear | 8 months | Shoulder straps are loose | 65% |
Conclusion:Cotton that truly "doesn't deform" needs to have long fiber + high density characteristics. Combined with modern textile technology, combed cotton and mercerized cotton are the most outstanding. It is recommended that consumers choose according to specific uses and pay attention to correct maintenance methods to maintain the shape of clothing to the maximum extent.
