Common Applications
Lingerie & Intimates
Its ultra-soft, lightweight feel and smooth surface make it ideal for bras, panties, and slips. The Nylon-spandex blend moves with the body, resists pilling, and lies flat against skin, ensuring all-day comfort and a nearly invisible fit under clothing.
Swimwear Lining
Frequently used as an interior lining in swimwear, it delivers a soft, comfortable layer against the skin while the spandex content provides gentle stretch and shape retention, even after repeated exposure to water, chlorine, and sunlight.
Shapewear & Bodysuits
Its combination of firm Nylon structure and spandex elasticity makes it well suited for shapewear and form-fitting bodysuits. The fabric smooths the silhouette, holds its shape through wear, and remains breathable and comfortable for extended use throughout the day.
Care Instructions
Machine wash cold with similar colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat. Iron on low setting if necessary.
