What to know about Sankom

Function claims come with patents

The pitch is medically developed, clinically tested bodywear — posture bras, compression socks, shapewear — backed by a large patent portfolio rather than styling.

Sold via TV shopping, not boutiques

Distribution runs through sankom.com and home-shopping retailers like Shop LC, so expect combo sets and bundles rather than seasonal fashion drops.

Support layers, not outerwear

The range is bodywear-led: compression socks, wireless support bras, slimming briefs and bodysuits, leggings, base layers and posture correctors for women and men.
