Paper lycra is a fabric used to make extreme performance and rather tight racing suits. It is paper thin rather than made of paper so it won't crinkle and crackle when you scrunch it up.
These suits deteriorate rapidly when stretched or subjected to water and chlorine based chemicals. Leave it damp in a bag then you might as well throw it away.
If your suit is in a good condition then treasure it, there are very few left. Don't advertise your address or you will be attacked in the streets by anguished collectors.
Keep the suit dry and out of direct sunlight (the uv will break down the fabric) each time you try it on or dare to swim in it will shorten it's life. Have fun!
