If you're a dancer—or a dance mom—you know that the world of leotards, unitards, and performance costumes can leave little room for error when it comes to undergarments. Whether it’s an awkward bulge from a padded bra or the risk of a strap slipping mid-performance, what you wear underneath your dancewear matters just as much as the costume itself.
And that’s exactly why Boob-eez was born.
Co-founder and CEO, Carlie Christenson, spent 15 years in the dance world, from the tiny tot days of ballet slippers at age three to high school competitions under the stage lights. She remembers the pressure of not just dancing well, but looking flawless on stage.
“We would get points off if we allowed bra straps to show during competitions. I never had to worry about that because I only wore Boob-eez! But so many dancers don’t know what undergarments to wear beneath their leotards, unitards, or costumes,” Carlie shares.
So What Do You Wear Under a Leotard?
Many dancers struggle with this question. Regular bras often don’t work—they’re bulky, the straps show, and they can shift with movement. For tweens and teens especially, the growing need for coverage without compromising performance comfort can feel overwhelming.
Enter: Headlight Hiders—Boob-eez’s signature product.
Why Boob-eez Work So Well for Dancers
Boob-eez aren’t just your average ‘pasties’. They’re made from ultra-thin, medical-grade silicone that:
-
Stays put through sweat, turns, jumps, and lifts
-
Disappears under dance wear for a smooth, line-free look
-
Provides modesty without adding bulk
-
Washes easily and lasts performance after performance
Whether you’re a competition-level dancer or taking your first adult ballet class, having a reliable, invisible layer of coverage makes all the difference in your confidence. For many dancers, especially those developing in their tween and teen years, modesty = comfort = freedom to move.
The Hidden Rules of Dance Costumes
If you’ve ever flipped through the costume guidelines at a studio or competition, you know that showing undergarments is a big no-no. Visible bra lines or straps can mean lost points in competitions, not to mention distracting visuals on stage.
But this unspoken rule leaves a lot of girls (and their parents!) wondering—what are the options?
While some leotards come with light built-in support, they’re often not enough. That’s where Boob-eez comes in: giving you the coverage you need, while staying hidden and secure.
Not Just for Kids: Adult Dancers Love Them Too
Adult ballet classes are gaining popularity—whether you're returning to dance after a break or just exploring something new, the same undergarment struggles apply. You want to move freely, without lines, bulges, or discomfort.
Boob-eez are for everyone. No wires. No straps. No stress. Just a clean silhouette and the confidence to show up and perform—whether that’s at the barre or on stage.
The Bottom Line
When it comes to dance, every little detail counts. Your movement, your lines, your costume—and yes, what’s underneath it all. Boob-eez were created by a dancer who’s been there and gets it — and we’ve spent nearly 20 years perfecting it with real feedback from dancers just like you. They’re the product Carlie herself wished more girls had access to when she was performing.
Now, they’re here for you—because coverage shouldn’t be complicated!.
