Meet Our Models

For our first promotional photoshoot we did an open casting call within the local LGBTQIA+ community here in Central Texas and the response was overwhelming! The size of the group grew to 15 models and even though it was a stressful undertaking, we wanted to include as many people as possible to showcase not only the diversity of the community but also the wide array of body types/colors that our Bareskin Binder accommodates. We took the time to have each volunteer fill out a questionnaire and take a portrait so we could have y'all meet each of our amazing models! Shoutout to Heather Burrell for the great photography!

  • Leo is a trans guy from the Austin area, he uses he/him pronouns, and you can find him on instagram @trans_nificent. Leo is wearing Umber in size XL.

    Testimonial: When Leo tried the Bareskin Binder on the first thing he said was "Where did my nipples go?? How did y'all hide the nipples?" He spent the rest of the photoshoot inquiring about the manufacturing process and how we created a binder that he wasn't hyper-aware he was wearing.
