Where these two actually differ
- We flag Azo dyes and azo metabolites and Heavy metals in synthetic dyes (lead, cadmium, chromium) on the Cotton On and not on the Fabletics.
- We flag PFAS in water-repellent coating, Coating degradation and microplastic shedding and Skin sensitization from finish residues on the Fabletics and not on the Cotton On.
- The Cotton On is cotton where the Fabletics is nylon blend with performance moisture-wicking coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Cotton On is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the Fabletics grade, at 42% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
