Quality (LYCRA®)

LYCRA® fiber is the trademarked brand name of a class of synthetic elastic fibers known as spandex in the U.S., and elastane in the rest of the world. Any company that produces generic, or non-branded name elastic fibers, refers to them as spandex or elastane. These terms are interchangeable and there is no difference between them, but only The LYCRA Company produces authentic LYCRA® brand fibers.
