Lycra fabric and modal have many similarities in characteristics, which is easy to confuse people. Some people think that Modal is pure cotton Lycra. In fact, this view is wrong. The characteristics of the two fabrics are still different.
1: Modal can be made into clothing alone, while Lycra must be blended with other fibers.
2: According to the characteristics of both, Modal is more suitable for underwear fabrics than Lycra, because it is softer, breathable, close-fitting and 100% natural.
3: Lycra is more flexible than Modal, which is why Lycra is not as soft as Modal. Therefore, Lycra is used for body-sculpting underwear, gym suits, swimming suits and other clothing with strong body-sculpting properties.
