   I've seen it referred to as "clear elastic". Hope this helps.

   The clear elastic is sometimes called swimsuit or chlorine resistant elastic, or sportswear elastic.  Sometimes it is also called sew through elastic.  Cathy

   Meg has good suggestions.  I do not order online myself.  It is a basic elastic that can be found with the elastics in a fabric shop, although it sometimes hides amongst the laces.   Cathy

   Hancock Fabrics carries it, but it's among the elastics that have to be cut by the yard, or fractions of yards, not in the pre-cut packaged stuff.

   Have you tried Wallmart? This clear elastic is pretty much a basic one and even the smaller fabric stores should have it.
