Our underwear allows a person to wear any available menstrual product comfortably inside our boxer briefs without worrying about leakage, bagginess or discomfort. Our sizes range from XS-XXL and are designed to fit a wide array of bodies. We seek to validate our customer’s gender identity and expression every day of the month. Pyramid Seven practices inclusiveness by representing the true faces, bodies, and expressions of people who menstruate.” Find them on Instagram.

Peaudeloup

“We have kept it simple: we specialize in well-made button-down shirts for bodies with curves. To us this is something much more than a button-down. It's about creating something authentic that makes people feel the same way on the outside as they do on the inside. We've added contrasting fabrics to intrigue and a secret pocket to surprise, but most of all we made it in a way to be proud. We stole it from the boys and made it to fit us. Cheeky, Classic, Strong. Androgynous-style clothing designed for all bodies with curves regardless of gender identity.” Find them on Instagram.




Because
