Cy Lauz Launches Transgender Underwear Label Chrysalis (VIDEO)

It’s always refreshing to see any industry making strides towards gender and sex equality, and this instance is no exception. 

After transgender people make a life-changing decision to live their life as the opposite sex, they still have to conquer one feat: shopping for underwear.

New York-based Cy Lauz recognized the hole in the market and launched her underwear label Chrysalis, a line she refers to as the answer to the specific needs of transgender people. 

The line features bras that are designed to hold custom bra inserts and power-mesh panties designed to create a seamless look by using a special panel that effectively tucks, holds and smoothes for those who have opted out of sexual reassignment. The bra comes with hidden pockets that hold full-cup inserts to create the appearance of a natural bustline.

The designer revealed the motive behind her initiative in an interview with Lingerie Talk, saying: 

“There are some things for cross-dressers and drag queens, but they’re all sexually exploitative. I wanted a product that actually celebrated who we are, something that made us feel beautiful but is also practical.”

This is not only a celebration of inclusion, but also of advanced undergarment production! Be sure to head over to chrysalislingerie.com to check out the line.
