#Polyester Vs Cotton

How to tell the difference between cotton and polyester!! 👀

👕⚙️ How Polyester Clothes Are Made: From Oil to Fabric 🌍⚠️ Polyester doesn’t start as fabric… it begins as a chemical process. What looks like soft clothing comes from industrial transformation. ⚠️ Raw Material: Derived from petroleum (crude oil) 🌑 Chemical Process: Compounds like Ethylene Glycol and Terephthalic Acid are combined 💀 Polymer Creation: Forms long chains called Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) 🧠 Fiber Spinning: Melted plastic is pushed through tiny holes to create threads 🌊 Fabric Formation: Threads are woven into cloth and treated for softness 😵 Last Clip: A factory process turning liquid polymer into wearable fabric Polyester may feel natural… but it’s engineered step by step. From oil… to thread… to the clothes you wear. 💬 Did you know your clothes could start as liquid plastic? 👉 Follow @decodingwrlds for more science facts, hidden processes, and everyday insights. 🎥 Video Credit: DM for credits/removal to the real owner. . . . #science #fashion #polyester #facts #howitsmade

Polyester vs cotton — tested the simplest way. A burn test shows you what a fabric is really made of. One melts and smells like plastic. The other burns like paper and turns to ash. Sometimes the truth is that obvious.

Polyester is made 100% out of plastic… Why is this an issue? Over time microplastics enter your body and will start to cause inflammation, metabolic issues, and increased risk of diseases like cancer over time. The best thing you can do is switch all of your clothing to 100% cotton, wool, or linen #health #polyester #hormones

This cotton t-shirt is hiding a TOXIC secret! 👕☠️ And they are not required to put it on the fabric label… Before a cotton t-shirt ever touches your skin, it can be soaked in up to 30 different chemicals! 🧪 In fact, the weight of this final fabric you may purchase can be up to 20% dyes, binders, and synthetic coatings…and that’s a problem most people don’t realize, because that information is NOT on the label. You think you’re buying cotton, but once it’s coated with chemicals like formaldehyde, silicones, petroleum-based dyes, and PFAS (aka forever chemicals), it’s basically a plastic shirt with cotten as a base fabric (but still a bit better than a polyester shirt)! ❌ These coatings and chemicals make your shirt look bright and shiny, feel nice, or even become stain resistant but… ❌ These chemicals can also leach into your skin and bloodstream through friction and sweat (which can cause skin irritation, hormone disruption, and can even be carcinogenic)! ❌ And yes once in a landfill they hardly biodegrade, while releasing chemicals and microplastics into our environment, especially our oceans. 👉 Even organic cotton clothes can be heavily treated (unless it’s GOTS-certified and/or dyed with non-toxic and natural plant-based colorants). So how do you find a truly nontoxic cotton t-shirt? ✅ Choose GOTS-certified organic cotton ✅ Choose undyed (unbleached) or non-toxic plant-dyed fabrics ✅ Choose clothing that puts your health and nature first #ClothingTips #Cotton #CottonShirts #HealthHacks #NonToxicLiving

Did you know your clothing is made of plastic? This disrupts our frequency & hormones. Every fabric has its own frequency. Stick to linen & cotton for the best frequency! #polyester #cotton #linen #frequency #hormonalhealth

AVOID POLYESTER AT ALL COSTS Especially in workout clothes! 🛑🔥 Did you know that polyester is one of the most toxic fabrics you can wear? It’s literally made from petroleum, the same stuff used to make plastic. It’s not just bad for the planet it’s dangerous for your health, especially when it’s sitting on your SKIN all day. 👚 Your skin is your largest organ anything you wear gets absorbed into your bloodstream. And polyester? It doesn’t breathe, it traps heat, and it releases endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA and phthalates. Especially during workouts when your pores are wide open and your body is sweating polyester becomes a toxic sponge, leaching harmful substances right into your body. ⚠️ Potential symptoms linked to polyester exposure: • Skin irritation and rashes • Hormonal imbalances (especially estrogen dominance) • Increased risk of infertility • Headaches or fatigue • Disrupted sleep (especially with polyester sheets or pajamas) • Increased toxic load (contributing to autoimmune flares) 🧠 Polyester is also treated with chemicals like formaldehyde to prevent wrinkling and mold. You’re not just wearing fabric you’re wearing a cocktail of toxins. 🧼 Sweating in polyester = your body absorbing more toxins. 👶 Babies and children should NEVER wear polyester — their skin is even more absorbent. 💬 COMMENT “DETOX” if you’ve been wearing clothes with polyester especially for working out. Let’s talk about safe swaps and how to DETOX from what’s already been absorbed. 🎽 Try switching to: • 100% organic cotton • Bamboo • Hemp • Linen • Tencel or modal (from sustainable wood pulp) Your skin will thank you. Your hormones will thank you. Your future self will thank you. 🌱✨ #DitchPolyester #ToxinFreeLiving #HealingThroughNature #DetoxYourWardrobe #detox#cleanse
