Lingerie
The consumer benefits of LYCRA® fiber are most evident in close to the body applications. It has brought new levels of fit, comfort and freedom of movement to a wide range of lingerie and bodywear products.
Fabrics can be finer and more delicate. Bras and panties retain their flattering fit. Brighter whites, deeper blacks and richer colours keep their fresh, first day appearance through repeated wash and wear cycles. Built-in moisture management capabilities ensure all-day wearer comfort.
LYCRA® technology platforms feed the imagination and creativity of leading fabric mills and garment manufacturers. Subtle combinations of styling innovation and practical value help them maintain a competitive edge in sector where choice is strongly influenced by personal experience and satisfaction.
