Experience the Luxury of Tencel Fabric – A Superior Choice Over Cotton Lycra

Why Choose Tencel Over Cotton Lycra?

At Rigelwear, we believe that fabric matters. That’s why we choose Tencel – an eco-friendly, luxurious, and high-performance fabric that outshines traditional cotton lycra in every way. If you’re looking for comfort, breathability, and sustainability, Tencel is the ultimate choice.

Unmatched Comfort & Feel

Tencel: Ultra-soft, silky, and smooth against the skin, providing a cooling effect that enhances comfort all day long.
Cotton Lycra: Soft but lacks the natural coolness and smoothness of Tencel.

Superior Breathability & Moisture Control

Tencel’s moisture-wicking properties absorb 50% more moisture than cotton, keeping you dry and fresh. Unlike cotton lycra, which tends to trap sweat and create a damp feel, Tencel regulates temperature and prevents bacterial growth naturally.

Sustainability & Eco-Friendliness

Tencel is made from sustainably sourced wood pulp and produced in an environmentally responsible closed-loop process, recycling 99% of water and solvents. In contrast, cotton production consumes vast amounts of water, and lycra (spandex) is synthetic and non-biodegradable.

Wrinkle Resistance & Durability

Unlike cotton lycra, which wrinkles easily and loses shape over time, Tencel is naturally wrinkle-resistant and holds its structure beautifully, making it ideal for long-lasting wear.

Skin-Friendly & Hypoallergenic

Tencel is gentle on sensitive skin, hypoallergenic, and naturally resists bacteria and odors. Cotton lycra, on the other hand, tends to retain moisture, leading to bacterial buildup and potential skin irritation.

Aesthetic Appeal & Vibrant Colors

Tencel drapes elegantly, giving garments a luxurious and flowy look. It also absorbs dye deeply, ensuring vibrant colors that last longer compared to cotton lycra, which fades over time.

Easy Maintenance & Care

Tencel fabric requires less frequent washing, dries quickly, and remains fresh for longer periods. Cotton lycra, however, demands more frequent washing, takes longer to dry, and is prone to shrinking.
