Silk Vs Cotton
All Skinnies garments are built using custom knitting machines that provide a soft, close knit weave for strength and durability.
All Skinnies Garments are the finest quality and built with sensitive skin issues in mind:
- Seamfree technology - no more friction, less bulky and freedom to move
- Better body fit - more comfortable, superbly soft and wearable
- Different colours - they don't look medical, and kids love them
- Durable - tested to withstand more than 50 washes for real durability
So, we know that Skinnies is an excellent choice, but you are probably wondering, how do I choose between Silk and Cotton? What is the difference?
