The variety of styles of underwear is amazing. Some models are held on the body with a very wide elastic band, others with elastic ropes. Surprisingly, both options refer to different subtypes of the same piece of furniture.
Name of elastic for panties
The edges of ordinary swimming trunks are treated with underwear elastic, which is also called an elastic band. It belongs to the category of linen accessories. Sold in fabric stores and retail outlets offering various household items.
Elastic parameters
- Material. It can be 100% latex, latex braided with polyester fibers, latex with the addition of cotton.
- Size. From 4 to 300 mm.
- Color. Any, but white elastic bands are offered for sewing into the bowl.
Are there varieties?
Elastic bands are distinguished by width, number of seams and the presence of decorative elements. The most popular size options: 0.5-0.8 cm. Narrower elastic bands are called linen or elastic cords. Their width is usually 1–6 mm.Products from this group are used to make sexy panties with thin ropes.
The number of seams on elastic bands varies between two, but often there is no stitching at all. A festoon is often used as a decoration - a protruding ornament., consisting of stepped or rounded teeth. Instead, lace or wavy patterns can be used.
A separate type of elastic band is often used for underwear. They are called prodezhka. The weaving wheel uses a variant called "rubber band". It consists of polyester fibers and latex threads.
Important! Prodezhka is found not only in children's panties and tights, but also in wardrobe items for adults. For example, in tracksuits.
Fantasy and erotic underwear is sometimes sewn with knitted trim - another item from the category of lingerie accessories. This power element is somewhat wider than the elastic band and softer than it. In terms of elasticity, it may be inferior to its analogue or, conversely, have unusually pronounced extensibility. However, this property quickly disappears with frequent use - the binding weakens and ceases to perform a supporting function. That is why it is not customary to use it when sewing everyday swimming trunks.
Important! Trim, unlike regular elastic, is used not only on the top line of panties. It is suitable for finishing all cuts.
Standard sizes: 1 centimeter and 1 centimeter with a small. If desired, you can find a smaller or larger trim. The sides are often very different from each other. The front part usually has a glossy effect, the back part has a matte effect. This feature is explained by the method of sewing: the “ribbon” is folded in half along the intended bend and stitched.
