How can you see if the material is absorbent or not?

You can test the absorbency of a material by placing a few drops of water on it and observing if the water is quickly absorbed or if it beads up on the surface. Absorbent materials will quickly soak up the water, while non-absorbent materials will repel it. You can also check the material's composition, as natural fibers like cotton and wool are typically more absorbent than synthetic materials like polyester.

However, non absorbent cotton does not get wet and chances of contamination are decreased significantly.
