Body vests under garments are styled to fit over the body and fasten with poppers between the legs.

We offer an extensive range in different lengths, styles and colours suitable for children and adults.

The Joey Body Vest is specially designed with poppers across the body to allow for easy dressing and to accommodate a feeding tube.

The advantage of our body vests are;

• Poppers between the legs at the gusset, allows easy access when nappy changing is required.
• Versions which have back, side or cross body openings are helpful for those who need help dressing as well as those who are tube fed. The garments are easier for carers to change, keeping unnecessary movement to a minimum.
• Can keep the nappy or pad in place, both during the day and at night time.
• Worn under regular clothing, the vests can help conceal the nappy and avoid embarrassment or unwanted attention.
• Comfortable and help to keep the person warm.
• Provide a comfortable and practical solution if a child or adult has a feeding tube.
• Is harder for the wearer to undress by themselves to access their nappy, preventing incidents of ‘smearing’.

The unitard is an all in one garment which does not have a poppers between the legs. Ideal if the wearer has worked out how to undo poppers. The wearer would step in through the neck opening and pull the garment up over their body. Made of a stretch fabric containing lycra, they are designed to be close fitting.

For those on the Autistic spectrum or with sensory issues, the close-fitting garments can provide whole-body compression to enhance bodily awareness and can help children to feel secure. 

They can be worn under normal clothes as under wear or at night time. As these undergarments do not have a popper opening, they can help prevent chances of hands reaching nappies.

The Cap Sleeve Long Leg Unitard is particularly effective and can help minimise incidents of smearing. As the unitards are harder to remove, they can also prevent inappropriate undressing.
