Sick of these shitty jewellery brands popping up on youtube channels. Stop it.
This ringtone is actually so catchy 🔥 Been on loop since I heard it… perfect vibe for a phone tone 💯📱
Natural fabrics are rarely used in sportswear because they absorb sweat and take a long time to dry. These claims are not true for sportswear; there’s nothing wrong with synthetics.
Something I’m kind of confused about is that people say that they’re buying natural fibers because it’s an investment (as in that they intend to keep it for a very long time), and will describe synthetic materials as if they are going to need to be trashed sooner.
It seems like it’s the opposite though and the only thing that would make a natural top last longer than a synthetic one is if the synthetic one is poor quality in terms of weight and construction. Natural are also more likely to be damaged due to improper washing/drying as well as frequent proper washing/drying.
And the pitch is usually to buy fewer pieces that are made of these natural fibers, but by doing that, you’re also increasing the wear of each item and speeding up how quickly they degrade.
So it seems like a bit of a trade off
And I think you explained that, so this is not criticism or anything! I’ve just watched lots of videos lately that led me to this one, that basically act as if the only reason something would be made out of synthetic is to cut costs, and that the lower price is the only real benefit.
I’m going to be buying second hand higher quality natural items to see if the difference in comfort is noticeable and worth the additional cost and labor to care for it.
