In the decades following its introduction, LYCRA® fiber technology found its way into all sorts of clothing and accessories, improving fit, feel and flexibility: stockings stayed up better, swimwear ceased to bag or droop when wet, and bras and foundation garments no longer bunched and pinched. Since the 1980s, diapers and other personal hygiene products have also experienced the benefits of LYCRA® fiber. LYCRA HyFit™ fiber continues the tradition of providing consumers with a snug, comfortable fit while reducing manufacturing costs. It has a high power-to-weight ratio, so less material is required, resulting in three to four times more yield than rubber. In addition, our proprietary, continuous running technology minimizes downtime.
