At Heist, we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with flowers, but not as normal. We’re using flowers to raise awareness of a cause we care about.

Did you know that 41% of women are too embarrassed to go to a doctor with concerns about their vagina? And 64% are too embarrassed to even say the word ‘vagina’?

We’re not embarrassed to talk about this. Neither is the team at the Gynaecological Cancer Fund. It’s the perfect match for V Day.

So, starting on 14th February 2018, we’re donating 15% from each worldwide sale of our tights for a 48-hour period to the Lady Garden Campaign.

Why?

Lady Garden – the conversation-starting campaign of the Gynaecological Cancer Fund – is fearless in getting women to change how they think about caring for the most intimate area of their bodies.

And, just as we ask why the underwear industry is still so backwards, Lady Garden ask why cancer treatment continues to operate as one-size-fits-all.

This is where ground-breaking research comes in, led by Dr Susana Banerjee, a prominent oncologist at The Royal Marsden Hospital. Lady Garden and the Gynaecological Cancer Fund are committed to funding her research into personalised gynaecological cancer treatment by raising £250,000 a year for three years.

Where do we fit in? Well, we didn’t do away with the gusset for nothing! At Heist, we put an understanding of the female body at the heart of our design process - our tights are designed to be seamless and breathable, keeping your “lady garden” comfortable all day.

How can you get involved?

Buy a pair of Heist tights between 14th (00:01 GMT) and 15th February (23:59 GMT) to make a 15% donation to the Gynaecological Cancer Fund.

And, take to Instagram to work the Lady Garden signature pose (in your Heist tights, obviously), and #loveyourlegsandladygarden. Get creative with the flower emoji - or a bouquet - and remember to tag @heiststudios and @gynaecancerfund.

At Heist, we speak body language.

We can all agree that shapewear is designed to support, which is why the real revolution in our designs is in what you don’t feel; no discomfort, no distractions.

Enter our signature HeroPanels™: bonded, zonal, shaping panels that give high performance compression, with high performance comfort.

Ready to take a closer look?

What are HeroPanels™?

Our HeroPanels™ are created using a laminate that sits between the layers of our Sculpt shapewear. The adhesive we use is engineered to move, delivering optimum stretch and recovery while maintaining a sleek, smooth finish and soft hand feel for next-to-skin comfort.

It’s like memory foam…but make it shapewear.

By designing our garments with the placement of our HeroPanels™ in mind, we’re able to make shapewear that slims and sculpts you exactly where you want it, without squeezing you unnecessarily where you don’t.

The results you’re after, without the compromise.

Let's talk breathability

To make our garments breathable (whilst still having the support you want), we've added curved laser perforations in key areas that promote and enhance breathability to let your body cool without losing that crucial supportive hold.

Shapewear with high performance compression, that feels comfortable, has breathability and that looks good? We know it sounds too good to be true, but that’s what HeroPanels™ are all about.
