The dressing room is alive with energy. Wigs are teased, glitter catches the light, and quick changes happen in every corner. Drag and performance are about transformation, and the body is often the first canvas. Behind every polished number is careful preparation with accessories that create curves, smooth lines, and keep everything secure once the spotlight hits.
Shaping the Silhouette
Many performers start with padding. Foam vulva padding is bold and dramatic, creating a strong front shape that works well under tight costumes. For a softer effect, the small vulva padding adds more subtle shaping. Only the small variant can be paired with tucking panties to smooth everything out and hold padding securely in place. This is a healthier choice for tucking compared to using tape, since you can take bathroom breaks more easily.
When it comes to hips, choices depend on the look. Foam hip pads create a gentle curve, while the Hip Pads Extravaganza exaggerate the silhouette into a striking hourglass shape that shines on stage. For those looking for complete transformation, a silicone torso with breasts in vanilla, caramel, or chocolate tones offers realistic skin texture and a dramatic, lifelike shape.
Adding the Details
Big shapes create the outline, but details bring the illusion to life. Breast prostheses give natural volume and movement. These are available in multiple colors and shapes, creating endless possibilities for your silhouette. Adding realistic silicone nipples turns the look into something more dramatic and eye-catching, especially under stage lighting.
To protect prostheses during long nights and quick changes, prosthetic pockets are a simple but effective tool. They guard silicone against sharp nails and extend the life of the prosthesis, while also keeping everything more secure and comfortable.
Securing the Look
No preparation is complete without tucking. Performers often choose the Humphider, which creates a smooth front while remaining comfortable through long sets and energetic numbers. It is designed for performance and reduces the need for constant readjusting. The Humphider can even be combined with the Tucking Panties and the Foam Vulva small, to smooth and shape.
Others rely on medical tape, which can be used for tucking. Tape holds everything securely in place, even during high-energy movement, making it a dependable option for stage work.

Step Into Your Performance
Every performer has their own way of preparing. Some focus on subtle shaping, others build dramatic curves, and many combine different tools to create the body that fits their story. Comfort and security are what allow the illusion to hold, so the focus stays on the performance itself.
Complete your look with tucking panties, bralettes, and singlets, which make layering easier and more comfortable. You can explore more options in the MtF collection.
