Dubonlycra, which contains chlorine resistant ingredients, will make swimwear have a longer service life than ordinary swimwear.

Lycra can be freely stretched 4 to 7 times, and quickly return to the original length after the external force is released. It cannot be used alone and can be interwoven with any other man-made or natural fiber. It does not change the appearance of the fabric, is an invisible fiber, can greatly improve the performance of the fabric. Lycra has outstanding extensibility. For knitwear, its multi-directional extension is determined by the fabric itself, and the lycra only brings the elasticity of stretching.

Swimsuit materials and accessories

Swimsuit design to "comfortable", "close" is the first principle. According to the investigation and analysis, most of the materials use nylon, and the elasticity of the fabric needs to be consistent, so as not to affect the comfort of consumers. Therefore, when choosing to use clothing accessories, "elasticity" is an absolutely necessary requirement. In response to the trend, if it is necessary to use metal, acrylic, shell and other inelastic accessories, the design needs to choose a position that does not affect the elasticity of the clothing body. When applied properly, the auxiliary materials will have the perfect effect of finishing the finishing touch.

Bathing suit washing

Most swimwear can be washed by hand and dried in cold water (not more than 30 degrees warm water). Never use soap, laundry detergent and other cleaning agents. Because the vast majority of cleaners contain bleaching, fluorescent ingredients, if used will destroy the color of swimwear, will also damage the elastic characteristics.

The swimsuit is arguably one of the most important and basic pieces of equipment in swimming. Understanding the relevant knowledge of good swimsuits and doing a good job of maintenance can not only extend their service life, but also make them more comfortable and healthy when swimming
