comfort and longevity of sustainable mouth masks
Cotton. A soft fabric that is comfortable from the start. It only gets softer after the first wash. Until the fibers break and it starts to chafe more and more.
Hemp. Hemp fibers are stronger than cotton fibers. At first, hemp fabric feels rougher. After each wash it becomes softer and similar to cotton.
Conclusion: cotton is more comfortable the first time, hemp fiber is more comfortable in the long run.
Moisture-wicking and breathable qualities
Cotton. On a sunny day, grab a cotton t-shirt because it feels airy. It breathes well, is moisture-wicking and also odor-resistant, so that odors do not get stuck in the fabric so quickly.
Hemp. Just as breathable and moisture-wicking properties is the draw. It does have antibacterial properties that cotton does not have.
Conclusion: when used correctly there is no difference as antibacterial properties are not important in daily washing.
Ecological factors
Cotton. It takes at least 6000 liters of water to get one kilo of cotton. That is with the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Organic is better, but requires even more water. This is a big problem, cotton is the most polluting agricultural product in the world.
Hemp. For hemp requires less than half the water. It grows faster and provides twice as much fiber. It is also an easy plant. No pesticides are needed for cultivation.
Conclusion: no doubt here, hemp is by far the friendliest option for people and the environment.
