Spandex Expands

Thanks to the textile gods for creating spandex, the wonder material.  Have you noticed that Spandex is an anagram of expands?  (Gotta love that.  So creative.  Hope that marketing executive got a nice, big bonus.)

Since its creation in 1959, Spandex has become the go-to fabric for just about anything and everything, particularly if you’re sports-minded.  You can find this wonder textile in exercise apparel, swimwear, dance belts, leggings, underwear (of course!), wetsuits, wrestling singlets and other uniform pieces and even socks.

While there always exceptions to every rule, I love it when a guy wears Spandex.  It shows he’s not body-conscious and wants to be comfortable, and even advertises a little bit about what’s being sported between his legs.  Love that part especially; after all, a fabric that accentuates, features and expands can’t be a bad thing, can it?
