Everyone deserves to feel sexy! And let’s be real, a huge part of feeling confident can come down to the clothes we wear, especially those oh so special intimate layers. It may seem simple to just choose a pair of underwear out of a drawer, but when disability or dysphoria gets in the way, this daily task gets a lot more difficult. That’s where these five brands come into play.

Danae Kurvers first created gender-affirming clothing for her brother. Then, she quickly began developing more gender-affirming items and Untag was born. Its’ mission is to celebrate any and every gender expression.
They have an incredibly impressive selection that I simply cannot begin to cover here. Untag has a variety of bras, bra tops, and binders for suitable for any expression or type of activity. There is also a range of packing and tucking underwear that will suit just about anyone! Untag doesn’t just stop at underwear either, as they offer a variety of gender-affirming swimwear as well.

Fran and Naomi recognized a gap in the underwear market for queer people. Therefore, they created TomboyX. TomboyX believes in creating sustainable underwear that anybody can feel comfortable in, that is inclusive of all sizes and gender expressions.
TomboyX offers a wide selection of bras. All of them are soft and pulled on over the head-so no more fumbling with tiny clasps! They also offer an array of compression tops as an alternative to traditional binders. There is a wide underwear selection, with styles for just about anybody.
