LYCRA® LEG CARE technology
Create everyday hosiery with graduated compression
Why choose LYCRA® LEG CARE technology?
The challenge:
Long days spent sitting, standing or travelling can make your legs feel heavy or tired. How can you meet the consumer’s need for hosiery (pantyhose, tights and knee highs) with graduated compression that is also comfortable, attractive and fashionable?
The solution:
LYCRA® LEG CARE technology creates hosiery for every occasion with graduated compression that decreases from the ankle to the thigh. Legwear made with this technology is suitable for everyday use and can help legs look more beautiful and revitalize them when they’re tired. Add more value to your offering with the addition of LYCRA® FUSION™ technology, which prevents runs and ladders despite being very transparent.
