Lycra is INVISTA's trademark for a synthetic fabric material with
elastic properties of the sort known generically as "spandex". Lycra is
commonly used in athletic or active clothing. Lycra as a clothing
material is fetishized by some people, perhaps on the basis that the
garment forms a "second skin" that acts as a fetishistic surrogate for
the wearer's own skin. This is known as lycra fetishism. Lycra is
normally one of the fabrics in leggings.
