What holds your stomach in better Spandex or elastane?
Spandex and elastane are essentially the same material, as elastane is the generic name for spandex outside of North America. Both offer excellent elasticity and support, making them effective for holding the stomach in. The effectiveness of either material largely depends on the garment's design, construction, and the percentage of spandex/elastane blended with other fabrics. A higher percentage of spandex/elastane in a garment usually provides a tighter fit and better support.
