Aphrodite: Heavy-Flow Shapewear Designed for Your Most Demanding Days

Aphrodite - Designed by Angela

When I designed Aphrodite, I wanted to create something women could genuinely rely on during the heaviest, most demanding days - the days when comfort, confidence and protection matter more than ever. For so long, we’ve been forced to choose between shapewear that smooths and period products that protect. Aphrodite was my answer to that gap.

She’s built with a full-coverage absorbent core, anti-roll structure and our signature invisible front zipper - all designed to support you without squeezing, overheating or reminding you she’s there. Whether you’re navigating postpartum changes, perimenopause, long commutes or simply one of those “I just need to feel held today” moments, Aphrodite is made to show up for you.

My goal was simple: to create a piece that gives women real freedom - freedom from leaks, from discomfort, from bulky layers and from the feeling that you have to plan your day around your body. I hope Aphrodite becomes that dependable, confidence-boosting favourite you reach for whenever you need strength, softness and support in one beautifully discreet piece.

Who Is Aphrodite For?

Aphrodite was designed for every woman who has ever felt let down by her period products on the days she needed them most. She’s for:

• Women with heavy or unpredictable periods who need serious, reliable protection
• Women navigating perimenopause or menopause with heavier, more demanding flow
• Post natal women managing lochia or coming back to normal periods while wanting to feel supported and confident again
• Anyone who has ever had to plan their entire day - their outfit, their schedule, their bathroom stops - around their period
• Every woman who is done choosing between feeling protected and feeling beautiful

What Makes Aphrodite Different

Aphrodite isn’t just period underwear in a shapewear silhouette. Every design decision was made with real women and real flow in mind:

• Full-coverage absorbent core - more than 5 super tampons worth of heavy-duty protection, front to back
• Invisible front zipper - quick, clean bathroom access in seconds. No wrestling, no stress, no mess
• Anti-roll waistband - stays in place all day, even when you’re bloated or on the move
• Smooth sculpting support - genuine shaping without squeezing or digging
• OEKO-TEX® certified, PFAS-free fabric - body-safe, breathable and built to last

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Aphrodite absorb?

Aphrodite provides more than 5 super tampons worth of heavy-duty absorbency — making her our most powerful piece and ideal for your heaviest flow days.

Can I wear Aphrodite as a standalone piece?

Yes. Aphrodite is designed to be worn as a complete standalone garment — no tampons, no pads, no backup needed. Just one beautifully discreet piece.

Is Aphrodite good for perimenopause?

Absolutely. Perimenopause often brings heavier, more unpredictable periods — and Aphrodite was specifically designed with this in mind. Calm Curve’s founder Angela created the entire Goddess Range from her own perimenopause experience.

Can I wear Aphrodite post natal?

Yes - many of our customers wear Aphrodite post natal for lochia management and while returning to your normal period in the first few months post birth. The gentle sculpting support also helps women feel held and confident during recovery.

How does the front zipper work?

The front zipper runs from the waistband down, giving you full access in one smooth motion. It’s incredibly easy to use - even with shaky hands, in a hurry, or in a tiny bathroom stall - and makes managing your period discreet and stress-free. Zip down, step in or out of the shapewear and zip up. Safe, secure and no mess.
