TC is a premium brand of intimate apparel made by Cupid Intimates. Combining sophisticated and modern designs, innovative product features, fashion-forward styling, and the most luxurious fabrics, TC products set industry standards for comfort, adjustability, performance, and customer satisfaction. In the majority of fitting-room comparisons, consumers prefer TC panties and shapewear to those of other intimates brands. True to the inspiration of its name, the exceptional products of TC deliver total control and total comfort, and allow consumers to feel and look their best.
TC shapewear, offered in several levels of control, provides a sleek, smooth elegance to the most fashionable ensembles. Depending on the collection, styles may feature nylon/spandex, mesh, and/or sheer fabrications. Its styles combine the superior stretch and memory of its premium fabrics with the Wonderful Edge® finish to deliver all-day comfort. These lightweight garments won't ride up, roll down, or show through.
Some products feature Wonderful Panel® technology that delivers targeted, adjustable, and comfortable control independent of any seaming.
Other styles also incorporate Back Magic®. In some garments, this feature is an amazingly comfortable and effective combination of flexible stays and a silicone finish that ensures that the back of each shaper won’t slip, slide, or roll down. This stability allows the shaping fabric to function more effectively around the wearer’s mid-section, reducing bulges at the midriff, controlling lower back bulge, preventing muffin top, and providing some measure of back support. In other garments, the flexible stays work solely with the fabric to flatten the wearer’s tummy in a most effective manner.
Some TC cami, bra, and bodysuit styles are made with the Wonderful U®, our patented underwire design that delivers unrivaled comfort in added bust support. Its flat wires are encased in fabric covers that allow the wires to float. These are fastened to the flexible bra band and bottoms of the cups, and not to each other. It’s the bra band, not the center gore, which functions as the essential anchor allowing the Wonderful U® to deliver its lift and support. Freed from its anchoring job, the center gore is made from flexible fabric. It’s this combination of flat, floating wires and a flexible center gore that will let the Wonderful U® adapt to the wearer’s unique body shape. When the wearer twists, turns, and bends, the wires adjust to her movements so she won’t feel that uncomfortable poke in the ribs or under the arms.
Additional styles incorporate the Comfort Tech Band. Using two-ply, adhesive construction instead of traditional elastics and conventional stitching, this wider, more stable, and more comfortable band doesn’t dig into the skin, doesn’t roll down, and remains in place throughout the day. It functions as a most comfortable waistband at the top of lower-torso garments, and as a most comfortable bra band at the bottom of top shapers.
Finally, various TC styles also incorporate other special features such as "No 'Side-Show'" underarm panels.
What gives “the edge” to TC Edge® panties? The answer is their sumptuous hand, unrivaled comfort, and revolutionary Wonderful Edge® finish. Available in microfiber, lace, and Modal fabrications, in a variety of colors, patterns, and silhouettes, these lightweight panties provide a luxurious feel against the skin. And the breathable, Wonderful Edge® silicone finish around the leg openings ensures that they stay in place all day long, preventing any uncomfortable ride-up. Perhaps best of all, Wonderful Edge® eliminates all traces of visible panty lines, even under the tightest-fitting pants, to deliver the smoothest appearance possible. TC Edge® panties are true technological marvels.
