What kind of fabric do swimsuits have

Update:11 Mar

There are generally three basic types of swimsuit fabrics: DuPont Lycra, Nylon, and Polyester, which are also the most common types on the market.

1. Nylon fabrics - fabrics obtained by blending or interweaving nylon filaments or staple fibers with other fibers, which have both the characteristics and advantages of each fiber. Although the texture is not as strong and solid as Lycra fabric, its elasticity and softness are comparable to Lycra. It is currently the most commonly used swimwear fabric and is suitable for mid-priced products.

2. Polyester fabric - Polyester fabric is a chemical fiber clothing fabric used in daily life. Its biggest advantage is good wrinkle resistance and shape retention. Therefore, it is suitable for wearing in the sun.

3, DuPont Lycra - is a man-made elastic fiber, with the best elasticity. It can stretch 4 to 7 times freely, and when the external force is released, it quickly returns to its original length with excellent stretch. Suitable for blending with various fibers for enhanced texture drape and wrinkle resistance. DuPont Lycra with chlorine-resistant ingredients will make swimwear no longer than ordinary swimsuits.
