What are the specific effects of the water absorption of polyester fibers on the comfort of clothing

The poor water absorption of polyester fibers has both negative and positive effects on clothing comfort, as follows:
1. Negative impact
       Heat sensation: Due to the low water absorption of polyester fibers, sweat discharged from the skin surface cannot be absorbed in a timely manner. Sweat will accumulate between the skin and clothing, causing the skin to feel damp and stuffy, especially in sports or high temperature environments. This discomfort will be more pronounced, affecting the comfort of wearing.
       Static electricity problem: Low water absorption makes polyester fibers prone to static electricity during wearing. When dry polyester fibers rub against other objects, the charge is not easily conducted out, thus accumulating static electricity. Static electricity may cause skin irritation, as well as cause clothing to absorb dust, and even lead to clothing sticking to each other and sticking to the body, affecting the wearing experience and appearance of clothing.
2. Positive effects
       Quick drying characteristics: Although polyester fibers have limited ability to absorb sweat, they can quickly spread and evaporate moisture on the surface of the fibers, allowing clothes to dry quickly after washing. This feature is very convenient in daily life, especially when traveling or engaging in outdoor activities. Wearing polyester fiber clothing can quickly restore dryness, making it easy to wear and carry.
       Sturdy and not easily deformed: Because polyester fibers do not absorb water, they are less affected by water and can maintain a good shape after washing. They are not easily shrunk or deformed, and can maintain the stiff appearance of clothing for a long time, making it more neat and beautiful to wear, thereby improving the comfort of wearing to a certain extent.
