- Cotton. Natural fabric, its main positive feature is good breathability. Such a wrap is pleasant to the touch, does not cause allergies, but is easily wrinkled, can shrink when washed. Usually cotton is combined with artificial additives, which gives it special strength, resistance to deformation.
