What makes Embrago's design so unique is the elimination of the tight chest band that bras and other bra alternatives rely on. Those constrictive elastic bands cause painful chafing, constriction, and health problems. Instead, Embrago's patented band-free design uses vertical seaming and an invisible network of hidden support panels to lift and shape with your curves, gently embracing them instead of cutting and squeezing around your ribcage.
