- Innovation Nominated for INDEX™ 26 Award for Delivering Consistent Fit Across Expanded Size Ranges
This breakthrough stretch fiber, already trusted by leading global apparel brands, now ushers in a new era of comfort, fit, and performance for baby diapers, disposable hygiene products, adult incontinence, and feminine care.
LYCRA® ADAPTIV fiber is engineered to address key unmet needs in hygiene and personal care. According to the company’s proprietary research, these include fit flexibility, shape retention, comfort in motion, ease of use, and stay-in-place performance. Its unique polymer formulation adapts to the wearer’s body, delivering a soft, easy stretch that enhances comfort; a secure fit to help minimize leakage; inclusive sizing for a wider fit window; easy donning and doffing for users and caregivers; and reduced concentrated compression to help minimize red marks on skin.
“LYCRA® ADAPTIV fiber is a major leap forward for hygiene and personal care. This technology adapts to real bodies and how they move—an essential demand of today’s consumers,” said Doug Kelliher, executive vice president, product, The LYCRA Company. “By introducing our proven apparel innovation to this space, we help manufacturers deliver a more personalized, comfortable, and secure wearing experience—without adding product complexity.”
