Spandex

Spandex, also known as Lycra or elastane, is a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional elasticity. It can stretch up to five times its original length without losing its shape, then quickly return to its original size. This property makes it ideal for close-fitting clothing like activewear, swimsuits, and athletic gear. Spandex is lightweight, breathable, and durable, providing comfort and freedom of movement. Because it resists stretching out over time, it maintains its fit and shape after repeated wear and washing. Its versatility and performance benefits have made it a popular choice in many types of garments.
