RIBBONS' CARE
Why are Rhythmic Gymnastics ribbons made of rayon ?
Rayon is a recycled fiber made by dissolving pulp and the like. The biggest advantage of using this material is that it is less likely to generate static electricity.
The environment for performing rhythmic gymnastics is often an environment where static electricity is likely to occur, such as clothes and mats, which are often made of chemical fibers such as nylon and polyester.
Electrostatic charge is also considered as one of the causes of the ribbon clinging to or entwining on the body.
Therefore, rayon, which is less likely to generate static electricity, has traditionally been used on ribbons as an important material to help performers.
