🧵 The elastic tubing
The IBIZA 5mm Lycra tubing is an elastic trim designed for those who make or repair DIY swimwear. With a 5-millimeter diameter and a composition of 80% polyamide and 20% elastane, this elastic cord offers the right balance of softness to the touch and tensile strength, perfect for straps, ties, and elasticized edgings in direct contact with the skin.
Sold by the meter with a continuous cut for multiple quantities, the IBIZA tubing is a round elastic cord with a visible side seam, available in over 15 color variants to match any swimwear or elasticized clothing project.
🧬 Technical composition: why it works
The 80% polyamide ensures mechanical strength, color retention, and durability even after numerous washes and contact with chlorine and sea salt. It is the fiber that gives the tubing its structure, maintaining its cylindrical shape and preventing the side seam from fraying. Polyamide is quick-drying and does not absorb water, a fundamental feature for an accessory destined for swimwear.
The 20% elastane provides the bi-directional elasticity that makes this tubing suitable for straps and ties: it stretches up to 5 times its original length without deforming, immediately returning to its initial shape. The absence of latex makes it safe for sensitive skin and for those with allergies, without compromising the product's elastic capacity.
📦 Format and sales by the meter
The 5mm diameter is the standard size for swimwear straps and elastic ties. With one meter of tubing, you can make a pair of straps for a bikini or one-piece swimsuit, or side ties for adjustable briefs. The round tubular structure with a visible side seam offers greater strength compared to seamless tubing, preventing sudden breakage during use.
When purchasing multiple meters, the cut is delivered in one continuous piece without joins, allowing you to manage the measurements for your projects independently. We recommend purchasing at least 2-3 meters to have a sufficient supply for a complete swimsuit with straps and spare ties.
✨ Why choose IBIZA tubing
Compared to latex rubber tubing, the IBIZA tubing eliminates the risk of skin allergies and irritation, a common problem with traditional elastics in prolonged contact with wet skin. The softness to the touch is superior to rigid pure nylon cords, offering comfort even during prolonged use at the beach or pool.
Resistance to chlorine and sea salt ensures that your swimsuit straps maintain their elasticity and color even after a full summer season. It does not fade, harden, or lose its elastic capacity as happens with lower-quality elastics after a few washes.
🎨 What you can make
The 5mm IBIZA Lycra tubing is the ideal accessory for replacement swimwear straps, adjustable bikini and brief ties, elasticized edgings for necklines, and finishes for DIY swimwear. Also perfect for elastic straps, fashion swimwear accessories, and tailoring applications where a soft and resistant elastic is needed.
👩🎨 Who it is suitable for
Suitable for both beginners approaching swimwear sewing and expert seamstresses looking for reliable tubular elastic for artisan production. Ease of handling and knot retention make it ideal for those without experience with technical elastics, while professional quality satisfies those who make custom swimsuits.
Perfect for hobbyists who customize their own swimwear, mothers repairing broken straps on children's swimwear, artisans who sell DIY costumes, and haberdashery shops looking for a versatile product to offer their customers.

📌 Important note
The 5mm diameter may have tolerances of ±0.2mm due to the manufacturing process. Colors may vary slightly between different batches: for projects requiring multiple meters of the same color, we recommend purchasing the full amount needed in one go. After contact with chlorine or sea salt, always rinse with fresh water to extend the life of the tubing.
