Relieve Information

Relieve is a purpose-driven underwear and apparel brand designed specifically for individuals living with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). Born from lived experience and informed by extensive community research, Relieve creates clothing that supports sensitive skin, reduces friction, and helps manage the daily challenges of HS with dignity and comfort. HS often affects areas such as the armpits, breasts, and groin — places where traditional clothing can rub, trap moisture, and worsen flare-ups. Relieve addresses these challenges through thoughtful, evidence-informed design. Our products use breathable, hypoallergenic, and moisture-wicking fabrics to keep the skin dry and reduce irritation. Seam placement, fabric softness, and adjustability are all engineered to minimise friction on inflamed or scarred areas. Our flagship product, the Relieve Top, includes: • Soft, gentle materials suitable for sensitive skin • Moisture-wicking layers to reduce dampness and odour • Integrated discreet pockets for absorbent pads to manage drainage • Seamless or low-friction construction that avoids rubbing against flare areas • Adjustable fit to accommodate changes during flare-ups • Full coverage and support without pressure on painful areas Every product is developed with feedback from the HS community, ensuring the design truly reflects the needs of real people living with the condition. Beyond clothing, Relieve is committed to education, representation, and building an inclusive community where individuals with HS feel seen, supported, and understood. Our mission is simple: to improve comfort, confidence, and quality of life, where comfort meets compassion.
