Modifications

Custom Sizing

• Custom sizing is always free! Please select "Custom Size" when ordering and enter in your measurements in the box provided so we can make your order specifically tailored to you! Please see our Fit Guide for help on how to take your measurements.

Style Modifications

• We can offer some modifications to our styles, which may come with added costs. Please note that any alterations to something other than sizing will make your order final sale and will not be eligible for our alteration services. 
• “Roomy Fit” - All bottoms can be made in a "roomy fit" for people with penises. In this case, the midsection is made wider than traditional “women’s” cuts, allowing a soft and comfortable fit in any of our swim and underwear bottoms. Also, please note: A “roomy fit” will not add compression to a garment that doesn’t normally compress. Any order made with the “Roomy Fit” alteration is still eligible for our custom sizing alterations policy.

Fit Issues

• Unless there is a manufacturing error, we do not offer refunds or accept returns. This could be simply for a change of mind or if you have purchased the wrong standard size - so please choose carefully. Our unique size chart is posted and it is the buyer's responsibility to check their measurements and message us with any questions BEFORE purchasing.
• Only custom sized items are eligible for our alterations policy.

When you place an order, the fabrics may not be the same as previous orders.  We choose to source fabric from deadstock or pre-made sources rather than ordering fabric to be made new for me. In this way, We reduce our ecological impact by using industry "waste" and not creating any new materials. We apologize that there may be slight differences between orders.

• For all fabrics, wash in cold water and hang to dry. For swimwear, rinse in fresh water after every use and dry flat in the shade. Lingerie (anything with straps) should be hand washed and hung to dry.
• Bamboo has been washed and preshrunk

• All our transactions and delivery methods are confidential and discreet. Customs information is marked as "clothing" or with an order number.
• Packages within Canada do not have a contents description. Packages have no outer branding besides the recipient and company name and address. 
• Recipient name and address will be printed as they are entered in your order. Confirmation emails and SMS will be sent with the name used to create your account.

Tips

You may have noticed that we have a "tip" option in checkout. Where does that money go? On top of donating 1% of yearly profits, tips get split between staff  and community organizations which we support. Please let us know if you would like to suggest an organization!
