Solution

Nylon and cotton clothes:

  1. Cotton is a natural fiber that is more comfortable than nylon, Nylon, on the other hand, is a synthetic polymer made up of monomers (long chains of carbon-based molecules).
  2. Nylon is a fabric that does not soak away moisture. In comparison to other natural fabrics, the cloth does not allow air to circulate in and out.
  3. As a result, the sweat will stay on your skin's surface. In nylon cloth, you may feel sticky, stinky, and hot.
  4. Cotton clothing promotes better air circulation, which leads to higher sweat absorption and a cooling effect.
  5. Cotton promotes better air circulation, which aids in the absorption and expulsion of perspiration-induced moisture from the body.

Therefore, Priyanshi will be more comfortable as she is wearing cotton clothes.
