Modal is a type of rayon, a semi-synthetic fiber made from the pulp of beech trees. It is known for being incredibly soft, smooth, and breathable, with a beautiful drape. Often compared to cotton, modal is more resistant to shrinking, fading, and pilling, which helps it maintain its luxurious feel wash after wash. It's a popular choice for items worn close to the skin, like pajamas, loungewear, and underwear, because of its exceptional comfort.
Flannel is a soft, woven fabric, most commonly made from cotton. Its defining characteristic is its "napped" or brushed finish on one or both sides, which creates a fuzzy, slightly raised texture that traps air. This process is what gives flannel its famous warmth and cozy feel. It is a breathable yet insulating fabric, making it the ideal choice for warm winter pajamas, bedding, and cozy shirts.
Yes, cotton is a natural fiber, and it is prone to shrinking, especially during its first wash. The main culprits are heat and moisture. When cotton fibers are exposed to hot water in the washing machine or high heat in the dryer, they can constrict, causing the garment to shrink.
How to prevent it: The best way to care for your cotton items is to wash them in cold water and either tumble dry on a low heat setting or, for best results, let them air dry. Many garments are made with "pre-shrunk" cotton to minimize this, but always checking the care label is the surest way to keep your items fitting perfectly.
