Pelvic Floor Support Shapewear
These shorts are a gentle, wearable reminder of the pelvic floor’s subtle, personal intricacies. Designed for individuals undergoing pelvic floor therapy and/or experiencing pelvic floor pain and weakness, this project speculates how a support garment can help stimulate mind, body, and breath connection in the inbetween moments of weakness and pain. Small acupressure knobs woven into the garment press specific points on the hips, inner thighs, lower back, and perineum to remind the wearer to check in with their pelvic floor and muscular tightness, and to breathe into specific points that connect the web of the pelvic floor.
