"Stretch Cotton" is a term without a standard. In general, it is a woven or knit fabric that contains some percentage of cotton, and some percentage of synthetic fiber that stretches.
Possibly the best-known stretchy fiber used with cotton is Lycra, or spandex as it is known generically. When spandex is blended with cotton, it provides elasticity and durability to the fabric.
How much actual cotton is in stretch cotton? Each garment is different. Check the care label for exact percentages.
When shopping for women's underwear, be sure the fabric contains at least 75% cotton for best feminine hygiene. A cotton-lined crotch is not sufficient; the entire garment must be at least 75% cotton.
Everybodywear contains 90% cotton and 10% spandex. The cotton provides softness and breathability, and the spandex allows the knit fabric to stretch 2x vertically and 4x horizontally for a comfortable fit.
