100 percent cotton generally absorbs more water than a blend of 80 percent polyester and 20 percent polyamide. Cotton fibers have a natural ability to absorb moisture due to their hydrophilic properties, allowing them to take up water effectively. In contrast, polyester and polyamide are synthetic fibers that are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water and absorb less moisture. Therefore, 100 percent cotton is the better choice for water absorption.
In a fabric comparison test, 100-percent polyester provided better UV protection than both cotton and a polyester blend. When there are UV warnings, it is best to avoid wearing cotton fabrics.
Polyester holds on to only about 0.4 percent of moisture; cotton just 7 percent.
Polyester is a synthetic fabric made from petroleum-based products, while cotton is a natural fabric made from the cotton plant. Polyester is more durable and resistant to wrinkles and shrinking, while cotton is softer, more breathable, and absorbs moisture better.
Some of the most popular fabrics used when making cloth diapers are: Bamboo, fleece (polyester), cotton, hemp, microfibre (75% polyester and 25% polyamide), polyurethane laminate and wool.
Your answer depends on the construction of the cotton fibre and the substance that is the other 20%.
