    Rayon is the best fabric. It’s softer and often more durable than cotton, more biodegradable, and these days can be made without using or resulting in toxic pollutants like the original process needed.

    I can barely find any 100% rayon clothing and it frustrates me greatly.

      Rayon doesn’t breathe and has terrible capillary action.

        I think the breathability depends on the tightness of the weave, but yes unfortunately one of the main downsides of cellulose fibers is that they don’t wet very well and thus don’t wick moisture much at all

      Isn’t rayon just cellulose? Maybe it’s just labeled differently.

      Thanks, I never knew it was biodegradable so I left it as generally avoid but a little bit can go a long way toward making cotton more comfortable

        Yes, though I find the wrinkles come out as easily as they go in
