What Are The Most Suitable Fabrics For Swimwear?
The most suitable fabric for swimsuits is nylon fabric, which consists of spandex and nylon (nylon), which is also the fabric for professional swimsuits.

The same applies to the raw materials of professional swimsuits, but their technical content may be higher, and they are usually specially processed. For example, reducing resistance, water repellent treatment, and so on.There are generally four basic types of fabrics for swimsuits: DuPont Lycra, nylon, polyester, and spandex, which are also the most common categories in the market.

DuPont Lycra, which has chlorine resistant components, will provide swimsuits with a longer lifespan than regular materials.
3. Polyester Fabric
Polyester fabric is a type of chemical fiber clothing fabric used in daily life, which is a stretchable fabric with one side and two sides stretched. Due to limited elasticity, it is not suitable for jumpsuit styles. Most of the fabrics are used in split or half cut swimsuits or women's swimsuits, and can be partially cut. It is a low-cost development strategy using fabrics. Its biggest advantage is its good wrinkle resistance and shape retention, therefore, it is suitable for wearing in sunlight.
4. Spandex Yarn
Spandex yarn has high elasticity and is usually not spun separately. It is often mixed with lycra, nylon, and polyester fabrics, and the high-quality product spandex yarn content should exceed 18%.
