Lycra FitSense is a water-based dispersion of the Lycra brand polymer that can be applied onto fabrics and garments to provide localized power enhancement, resulting in shaping and compression benefits.

The printable variant of the Lycra brand technology is underpinned by a global patent portfolio related to print technologies that modify garments for shaping purposes, achieved by altering the stress-strain characteristics of fabrics. Furthermore, Lycra FitSense technology benefits from trademark protection.

• Its primary application is found in various garment types including shapewear, activewear, swimwear, intimate apparel, and leggings.
