Spandex, Lycra or elastane is a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional elasticity. It is stronger and more durable than natural rubber.
Because of its elasticity and strength (stretching up to five times its length), spandex has been incorporated into a wide range of garments, especially in skin-tight garments. A benefit of spandex is its significant strength and elasticity and its ability to return to the original shape after stretching and faster drying than ordinary fabrics.
The types of apparelsr which incorporate spandex include:
Apparel and clothing articles where stretch is desired, generally for comfort and fit, such as:
activewear
athletic, aerobic, and exercise apparel
Yoga
bra straps and side panels
competitive swimwear
cycling jerseys and shorts
ballet dancers and others
gloves
hosiery
leggings
netball bodysuits
orthopaedic braces
rowing unisuits
cross country race suits
ski pants
skinny jeans
slacks
miniskirts
socks and tights
swimsuits/bathing suits
underwear
wetsuits
zentai
Triathlon suits
Compression garments such as:
foundation garments
motion capture suits
support hose
surgical hose
superhero outfits
women's volleyball shorts
wrestling singlets
Home furnishings, such as microbead pillows
For clothing, spandex is usually mixed with cotton or polyester, and accounts for a small percentage of the final fabric, which therefore retains most of the look and feel of the other fibers
