Cotton vs. Nylon Swimsuits

[zuzu]

Last year we had a couple of nylon/spandex ones that held up well. I picked up a cute Mulberribush suit a few weeks ago and it's a cotton/lycra blend. It's very soft and seems like it would be comfortable, but I was wondering if anyone knew whether the cotton suits hold up as well as the nylon ones. It's adorable (can't find a link or I'd post it, and Sarah has a cold so she hasn't been in the mood for dress up :() so I'd love to keep it, but I also want it to wear well.

Thanks!

The only negative to cotton suits is that they take longer to dry.

Our cotton ones have faded a bit....but nothing too bad

Those were going to be the two things I wanted to point out: cotton takes longer to dry and fades more. :) But, OTOH, the nylon ones pick worse when they come in contact with concrete around the pool. I guess neither one is perfect! LOL!
