Stretchline launches new quality of elastic 'Fit-U'

With a reputation for innovation and first to market products, Stretchline has developed a technology that produces elastic which exerts the right amount of pressure against your body offering you superior comfort. With Fit-U, the wearer enjoys a lot more comfort with a strap or waistband that feels great on the body.

Research shows that 61% of all women consider comfort as the most important consideration when buying a bra. The technology behind Fit-U has addressed such issues which limit women from indulging in a diverse bra wardrobe.

The Fit-U strap offers a remarkably high stretch with minimal loss of power which means the wearer can enjoy a great fit without having to adjust bra straps, leaving them free from metal or plastic hardware such as rings and slides. Fit-U also provides significant advancement in waistband comfort minimizing roll over and irritation, giving all day comfort and confidence to wearers.
