How do filament properties change after printing? (In relation to water absorbtion)

I have plaPLA and pet-gPETG filament.

I hear loads that your 3D filament absorbs water and causes loads of problems when printing but after printing they can be used with water and they are water proof.

So my question is why is it different after printing/what has changed to make it now waterproof?

Edit: Is pet-g waterproof or does it absorb water?

Edit 2:

Is there a limit on how much water pet-g can absorb or will it keep going until it splits and turns to mush?

  • Is PETG waterproof or does it absorb water?

  • Is there a limit on how much water PETG can absorb or will it keep going until it splits and turns to mush?
