Elastane — sold as spandex in the US and under the Lycra trademark — is a petroleum-derived synthetic added for stretch. It degrades with heat and time, often before the fabric around it. Every piece below declares a fiber composition with no elastane at all: any give comes from the weave and cut, not an added stretch fiber. We check declared composition, not marketing copy.
What else should you know about Elastane-Free Clothing?
Are spandex and Lycra the same as elastane?
Yes. Elastane is the generic fiber name used in the EU, spandex is the US name, and Lycra is a brand of it. A label listing any of the three means the same synthetic fiber — and this page lists only pieces whose declared composition contains none of them.
How do you verify a piece has no elastane?
We read each product's declared fiber composition — the regulated percentages brands must state — and list only pieces that declare no elastane and score at least 90/100 on the MaterialFilter Naturalness Score. Pieces without a declared composition are never shown here.
Why avoid elastane?
Common reasons: skin sensitivity to synthetics, longevity — elastane loses its recovery and causes bagging before natural fibers wear out — and keeping clothing free of plastics. Elastane-free pieces rely on the weave and cut for ease of movement instead.
