Available items
As each of these items use some form of compression to achieve their intended results, it’s important to follow safety guidelines on wearing these items to prevent injury. Wearing compression clothing that is too restrictive over several hours each day can cause health problems. Please ensure that you know your measurements before requesting an item.
BINDER
Binders help to smooth out the appearance of the chest. They come in a variety of styles, ranging from a full-compression tank top to a cropped half binder that primarily covers only the chest.
Gaff
Gaffs maintain compression during tucking. They are cut similar to other bottom undergarments and available in various styles including boyshorts, hipsters, and thongs.
Shaper (Shapewear)
Shapers can create a curvier physique through compression and lifting. Different styles provide different benefits, but most resemble a partial bodysuit around the torso, hips, and upper thighs.
