What Women Want... Lycra® curves

Dubbed by the press 'Wonderbum' tights Invista (formerly Dupont Textiles and Interiors)'s innovation in shaping hosiery has been a hit with women around the world. The very latest in support technology, this concept range lifts, separates and smoothes bottoms across the globe, providing women with an easy route to the perfectly pert Jennifer Lopez derriere.

These tights came to the fore in 2001 when the clever bods at Invista developed a new concept design. An immediate hit, which captured the interest of the press, 'Wonderbum' was quickly brought to the high street by manufacturers such as Aristoc and Marks and Spencers amongst others.

So where did the idea for these tights come from. Invista asked modern women what they wanted from their hosiery and the results shaped the development of the tights. What modern woman is completely content with their figure? Who has the time or patience to endure gruelling diets and exercise routines? And lets be frank with products like this who needs to? The excessive eighties were a decade of decadent power dressing for women, the nice nineties signified a group following of the 'Rachel' cut and cargo pants, whereas the naughty 'noughties' are typified by women who want to look their best, and demand the latest technology to do so. The so-called 'Wonderbum' tights are here to answer these needs, offering a simple, cheap and safe alternative to the extremes of cosmetic surgery. The effects of 'Wonderbum' are staggering; women, from both young and older age groups, who try on these tights, say their bottom is pushed up so effectively that they feel as if their legs have gained half an inch in length.

The secret to these tights is in the two circular bands. Made from a unique construction of Invista's revolutionary fibre Lycra®, the bands have been made in such a way as to lift, separate and shape the bottom with ultimate comfort and fit. Lycra® has the remarkable ability to stretch up to 600 percent and spring back to its original shape. Never used alone, but blended with cotton, nylon, wool, polyester and other fibres, Lycra® adds comfort, fit, freedom of movement and shape retention to most wardrobe favourites. Lycra® is widely used today in ready-to-wear garments for men, women and teens, as well as in hosiery, intimate apparel, swimwear, active sportswear and shoes.

And thanks to Lycra® these tights don't just support but also have in-built opaque briefs so there's no need to worry about telltale visible panty line (VPL). Furthermore, they are designed to look sexy, which helps to avoid any embarrassing Bridget Jones 'incredibly large pants' experiences. All in all the 'Wonderbum' tight is a step forward for women making life and lingerie that little bit easier. Why just look good, when you can look even better?
