Can swimsuits be worn as underwear?

ANSWER

1. DIFFERENT FUNCTIONSSWIMSUITS SHOULD BE SUITABLE FOR UNDERWATER SPORTS, WHICH REQUIRES THEM TO BE

1. Different functions

Swimsuits should be suitable for underwater sports, which requires them to be waterproof, elastic, and have minimal resistance to water during underwater activities. To achieve this, swimsuits are designed to be very tight fitting. The most important thing about underwear is to wear comfortable clothes and not too tight, so it is skin friendly, breathable, and has good moisture absorption, and always insists on keeping the skin dry.

2. Different fabrics

The material selection angle of swimwear and underwear is completely opposite, mainly reflected in the hydrophilicity of the fabric. Swimwear is commonly made of waterproof and elastic fabrics such as DuPont Lycra, nylon, and polyester, while underwear is often made of pure cotton fabric with good water absorption.

3. Different appearance

The swimsuit is designed to be worn externally, with a focus on visual effects. The material is relatively thick, the appearance is fashionable, and there are various styles and patterns. And when wearing underwear inside, the material is lighter and thinner, mainly in solid colors, and the styles are not as many as swimsuits.

Summary of swimsuit fabric knowledge.

ANSWER

CLASSIFICATION OF SWIMWEAR FABRICSDUPONT LYCRA, NYLON, AND POLYESTER ARE CURRENTLY THE MOST COMMO

1、 Classification of swimwear fabrics

DuPont Lycra, nylon, and polyester are currently the most commonly used materials in swimwear. Any special material such as hollowed out and twisted flowers cannot be separated from the above three types of elastic characteristics. Many new swimwear fabrics will be added with special treatments such as UV resistance, chlorine resistance, or splashing treatment.

2、 Characteristics of swimwear fabrics

DuPont Lycra: A type of artificial elastic fiber with the best elasticity, which can extend to 4-6 times the original length and has excellent stretching. It is suitable for blending with various fibers and can enhance the advantages of texture sagging and wrinkle resistance. DuPont Lycra, which contains chlorine resistant ingredients, will give swimsuits a longer lifespan than regular swimsuits.

2. Cotton fiber fabric: Although the texture is not as solid as Lycra fabric, the elasticity and softness are already on par with Lycra. Currently, it is the most commonly used fabric for swimwear and is suitable for mid priced products.

3 polyester fabric: It is an elastic fabric that stretches in one direction and two directions. Due to limited elasticity, it is mostly used in swimming trunks or women's split halves, and is not suitable for jumpsuits. Fabrics that can be partially cut or applied with low unit price strategies.

3、 Swimwear lining and clothing accessories

The design of swimsuits follows the primary principle of "comfort" and "fit". According to investigation and analysis, the lining is mostly made of nylon, which needs to be consistent with the elasticity of the fabric to avoid affecting the comfort of consumers. Therefore, when choosing to use clothing accessories, elasticity is an absolutely necessary requirement. In response to the trend of fashion, when using non elastic accessories such as metal, acrylic, and shells, it is necessary to choose a position in the design that does not affect the elasticity of the clothing body. When applied properly, the excipients will have an excellent finishing touch effect.
