Sorry if I touch a slightly indiscreet matter but why do all men want cotton cloths? Have you ever seen any top athlet wearing cotton cloths? Women are used to wear these new fabrics and it hasn't hurt them.

I would loooove to throw all my cottons away and get some "Polyester", if they don't feel like plastic of course. It has to be microfibre (if it's made from cotton sometimes, then called Modal), and woven correctly, like coolmax. Btw the first microfibre was silk. Some very rare cottons are spinned so finely that they have similar properties, like the "Egyptian Cotton".

I try to wear as much as possible synthetics on my body, especially underwear. They let you sweat much less and if you do, the sweat goes quickly away from your skin. Most of the widely available cotton is so much contaminated with insecticides that you could never buy it if it would be food (That's why you shouldn't eat cotton )
