The Lycra Company, a leader in innovative fiber and technology solutions for the apparel industry, has launched the new Lycra® FitSense™ technology. This groundbreaking innovation is a patented water-based dispersion that features the same molecule as the Lycra® fiber, but in liquid form.
The Lycra® FitSense™ technology is screen printed onto fabric containing Lycra® fiber to deliver targeted lightweight support that can be combined with visual effects like patterns or color blocks. As a result, sewn-in panels or extra seams that may restrict movement and cause discomfort can be eliminated and the consumer’s need for great-fitting, ultra-comfortable garments satisfied, giving support just where it is needed.
The Lycra® FitSense™ technology can transform activewear and athleisure apparel (leggings and tops) and intimate apparel (bras, sports bras, bralettes, underwear and shapewear) by adding lightweight power, soft shaping and lift, and targeted support without sacrificing comfort.
Lycra® FitSense™ technology offers printers, garment makers, brands and retailers a host of benefits. This solution helps streamline garment manufacturing, offers unlimited design possibilities that provide functional benefits, and differentiates garments by providing a premium offering made with a breakthrough innovation.
