Default so confused!!

I have a quick question I'm about to buy this super cute San Diego Padres shirt and its 100% ring spun combed cotton, will it shrink like regular cotton shirts?? or is that regular cotton?? I never knew there were different types of cotton but I would love to find out ASAP so I can figure out what size to buy, which reminds me if it does shrink how much does it shrink?? like a full size?? Sorry I have so many questions its just that I'm a very tiny person and adult sizes are too big but they don't have the shirt in a childs size or juniors size so I need to know if I buy a small and shrink it if it will fit me or if I will have wasted money on something I won't fit into for a long time.

There are different types of cotton, and different ways of preparing the cotton plant into cloth. In this case, "ring spun" and "combed" both refer to different parts of that process.

It's just a better quality of cotton, not radically different to anything you'd be already used to.

It will probably shrink, but no more than any other garment typically does.
