For these products, elastics with elastane and polyamide are chosen as they keep their shape longer, and for sports bras a wider underband elastic with a soft back that provides support without pressing. Tell us when you enquire if the elastic is intended for swimwear or sportswear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLingerie elastics should be washed gently – at 30–40 °C, without bleach and without drying on high heat – to preserve the stretch of the latex and elastane. Washing in a mesh bag extends the life of the garment.
