I found this link while searching for the definition of lycra...I think its good to share with my readers of what is lycra all about.
What is LYCRA?
LYCRA is the most popular brand of the material spandex that is often used to make variety of clothing items.
What is the different between LYCRA and SPANDEX?
The synthetic fabric used to make stretchy clothing is commonly referred to as spandex and as Lycra. DuPont created the term Lycra as a brand name for its spandex, and now the terms have become interchangeable. Much like when a person calls all tissues "Kleenex," many people call all spandex "Lycra." Spandex may also be called "elastane," especially in Europe.
WHEN BUYING SPANDEX or LYCRA CLOTHING, look at the tag to determine what percentage of the fabric is made of spandex (or Lycra). The higher the percentage, the tighter the clothing. Clothing that is 70 percent or more spandex should not be put in the dryer or should be air-dried without heat to prevent damage.
And fun fact, seriously I never know that lycra actually can be stretched up to 600% !! and yet it still return to its original shape and size without any defect !
