Made for living in
Both the Full-Bind and Half-Bind are made with Eco-Platinum 78% recycled swimwear and activewear fabric, chosen for skin-feel, comfort, compression, durability & versatility. The Full-Bind has an outer layer of 200gsm 78% recycled power mesh for added compression. Both are designed for convenient, fuss-free daily wear; 100% stretch tankini style for ease of donning/doffing, silicone system that allows you to position your breast tissue as you like according to the dictates of the day or outfit, hold in your chosen shape that reliably supports across activities, rest, sport, swimming. The only thing it won't do is give you a traditional bra-style architecture (such as individual cups, lift that comes from straps and underband/wire). We are done with that.
Both can be worn as underwear, exercise-wear, and swimwear — although white is not recommended for swimwear if you need full opacity.
Full-Bind
Two layers,
two levels of compression
The Full-Bind is constructed with 2 layers of fabric at 2 unique levels of compression. The skin-facing layer is recycled Eco-premium — soft, buttery, 2-way stretch swimwear fabric with medium compression. The outer layer is a heavily compressive 200gsm power mesh.
Half-Bind
Two layers,
minimising comfort
The Half-Bind uses the same pattern as the Full-Bind but is made of two layers of medium-compression recycled Eco-premium fabric throughout — softer and more flexible, with minimising rather than binding compression.
Materials & certifications
Eco-Premium Fabric (both garments)
Eclipse Eco-premium: 75% Recycled REPREVE® Polyester (from plastic bottles destined for landfill) / 25% Elastane. Soft, buttery, 2-way stretch.
Power Mesh (Full-Bind outer layer only)
Eclipse Power-mesh 200gsm: 76% Recycled Polyester / 24% Elastane. Heavily compressive outer layer.
Silicone grip treatment
The interior silicone print is verified skin-safe. Quality silicone claims to be generally non-allergenic. HUG trialed/wear-tested many vendors before landing on a formulation that ticked both boxes of skin safety and durabile bond to fabric It is slightly raised and may leave a temporary indentation on skin — this is normal and harmless.
Testing & safety
Each individual element meets safety standards. The garment as a whole has been non-scientifically tested, locally. All seams are internal to minimise irritation.
Each element of these garments meets safety standards. The garment as a whole has been non-lab tested/community wear-tested locally. We are committed to ongoing wear-testing and will update this information as formal testing is undertaken.
Design details
No hardware. Both garments are entirely hardware-free — no clips, wires, hooks, or clasps to break, dig in, oppress.
Internal seams. All seams sit on the inside of the garment to minimise irritation against skin.
Racerback strap placement. Straps are positioned almost racerback to maximise arm and shoulder mobility. If you would prefer regular singlet strap placement, note this in the requests section when you submit your measurements.
Swimwear & activewear ready. Both garments can be worn as underwear, exercise-wear, and swimwear. Note: white is not recommended for swimwear if full opacity is needed.
Full-Bind only — a note on powermesh
Powermesh is much less comfortable against skin than the soft inner layer. We have designed the skin-facing layer to be slightly larger than the outer mesh layer so that the seams sit to the outside of the garment — minimising the pinching effect that can occur when mesh contacts skin directly. Unfortunately, powermesh is currently the best option on the market for heavy, flexible compression. We continue to look for softer alternatives.
