LARP, identity, and armor you can feel

LARP, identity, and armor you can feel

When play becomes power

Live Action Role Play is not just a hobby. Hot take: it is one of the most radical forms of self-expression out there. You step into a character, build a body language, choose what you show and what you protect. For many queer, trans, and genderdiverse people, LARP is a rare space where imagination makes room for truth.

Costumes matter. How your body feels inside that costume matters even more. Confidence is not only about looking the part, it is about feeling safe, supported, and affirmed from the first layer out.

That is where UNTAG quietly becomes part of the story.

LARP is a full-body experience

LARP is physical. You run, fight, dance, sit by the campfire for hours, and sometimes wear heavy costumes all day and night. Your underlayers have to work just as hard as your outerwear.

Many LARPers use armor, corsetry, robes, uniforms, or fantasy silhouettes that are strongly gendered. That can be fun, but it can also create friction with your body.

UNTAG products are designed exactly for those moments where your identity, your body, and your costume need to cooperate instead of clash.

Binding for characters and comfort

Some characters demand a flat chest. Warriors, knights, scholars, pirates, or masc-presenting fantasy roles often rely on a streamlined silhouette.

UNTAG binders are designed for long wear and movement. Breathable fabrics, flexible compression, and thoughtful construction make them suitable for active days like LARP events. Whether you are wearing chainmail, leather armor, or layered tunics, a binder can help your costume sit better and help you stay present in your role.

Important opinion: comfort is not optional. If your binder restricts your breathing or limits your movement, it breaks the magic. UNTAG binders are made with safety in mind, so you can focus on the story instead of your body.

Packing, tucking, and shaping the silhouette

Many LARP characters come with expectations around body shape. Bulges, curves, or smooth lines can all be part of a fantasy aesthetic.

UNTAG packing underwear and harnesses allow masc and transmasc players to shape their silhouette in a way that feels affirming, without compromising comfort. Secure placement means less adjusting and more immersion.

For transfeminine and femme-presenting characters, UNTAG tucking underwear offers support that stays in place during long days of movement. Smooth lines under dresses, robes, or fitted costumes can make a huge difference in how confidently you inhabit your character.

Prostheses as part of costume design

LARP is one of the few spaces where body modification is openly celebrated. Scars, horns, wings, tails, and prostheses are common.

UNTAG prostheses and prosthetic-friendly underwear fit naturally into this world. Breast prostheses can support characters with fuller silhouettes, divine beings, nobles, or simply characters that reflect how you want to be seen.

Because UNTAG designs products to move with the body, they integrate well under costumes without constant readjustment. That means fewer breaks from character and more time living the story.

Why this matters

LARP is not escapism for everyone. For many queer and trans people, it is rehearsal. A space to test confidence, pronouns, posture, power.

What you wear under your costume can determine whether that experience feels freeing or exhausting.

UNTAG believes that gender-affirming underwear is not niche. It is foundational. Whether you are slaying monsters, negotiating alliances, or guarding the camp at night, you deserve to feel at home in your body.

Build your character from the inside out

Your costume tells the world who your character is.
Your underwear tells your body that it is supported.

That combination is where the real magic happens.

LARP boldly. Move freely. Take up space.
And let your first layer work as hard as you do.
