Hi, I'm Susie, the founder of Scanties Anti-Shapewear. I made Scanties for you and for me and for everyone that is sick and tired of uncomfortable underwear. So Scanties will become your new best friend. They are super soft and silky and stretchy. People can't believe them when they put them on for the first time because they are not what they expect. That's why I've called them anti-shapewear, because I believe we should celebrate our bodies In the beautiful form that they are, not squished and contorted into sizes that are unnatural and not even necessary. Scanties will give you no muffin top. There is no more chafing. There is no riding up. There is no rolling down. You can wear them to a formal event and come home and comfortably flop on the couch. You can sleep in them. You can wear them skiing. You can wear them in hot climates. You can wear them hiking. You can literally wear them anywhere that you need comfortable underwear. So they're also fantastic to support us through bodily changes if we are having any form of hormone therapy or IVF, or if we have surgery. So hysterectomy support, cesarean support, any of the gynecological surgeries, anywhere where our stomach is tender and we need the extra give and take and flex. To help us feel supported. They are fantastic with ostomy bags as well because of the superior flex and stretch. So Scanties, they really are amazing, and nurses also love wearing them under scrubs because they are like activewear underwear— amazing but thin and cool and comfortable. Now another part of Scanties anti-shapewear is also the emotional shapewear removal. And this part is really dear to my heart. I'm so passionate about helping you as a brand feel amazing both within your body and inside your body as well. So a holistic view. And so I've created meditations and affirmations and journals to help you come back into your heart and realize you are amazing right now. You are more than enough in Exactly as you are. You are so loved, and you are an absolute miracle. I've also been co-creating with AI some music that I want you to get stuck in your head that just reminds you that you are enough, that you are amazing, and maybe just to breathe in and breathe out because we all need a little bit of that. So thank you so much for visiting Scanties. I am so pleased to welcome you here. Big love from me.
