Sway Movewear is a slow fashion polewear brand founded in 2015 in Gdańsk, Poland, by pole dancer and instructor Agata Jurago-Pach. We design pole dance shorts, tops, bodysuits, harnesses, lingerie, swimwear and loungewear for women and men.

Every piece is designed and handmade in small batches in our workshop in Gdańsk, Poland.

Most of our polewear is made from ECONYL® regenerated nylon, made from recovered waste such as fishing nets. Some pieces combine ECONYL® with bamboo viscose lining, recycled polyamide with lurex, or LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose.

Yes. Our men's shorts, bodysuits and thongs are drafted for male proportions, not scaled down from women's patterns.

Yes, there's not a gram of plastic in it. We ship in boxes made in Europe from 70% recycled cardboard, fully recyclable and FSC and RESY certified. Your order is wrapped in recyclable brown tissue paper, sealed with paper tape and natural rubber glue, and our labels are made of paper too.

Yes. Our shorts and tops are cut to leave skin free where you need grip on the pole, while staying secure during inverts and spins.

More than you might expect at first, and less as you progress. Beginners grip with as much skin as possible, so bare thighs, knees and waist really help. Moves like Jade Split, Gemini and Scorpio also rely on waist contact. As your technique grows, you learn exactly which point holds you, so you need less bare skin. Funny enough, that's usually when dancers feel free to show more of it.

If you feel a little shy at first, start with our Bettie Top and Bettie Shorts – they give you more coverage while still leaving enough skin free for grip. If you want to feel a bit sexier, try our Ruby Garter Shorts: you can shift the waist strap to cover your tummy if you like, the straps under the bum lift and frame it beautifully for a real confidence boost, and the garter straps on the thighs hold the shorts firmly in place. If you're ready to show skin and want maximum grip, every Sway piece will work for you. Our polewear isn't for everyone – it's made for the bold.

Yes. Every Sway piece is double-layered, lined with either bamboo viscose or ECONYL®, so even light colours are not see-through. Pieces with a bamboo viscose lining work just like underwear and can be worn comfortably all day. All our men's pieces have a bamboo lining, because men have fewer options for minimal underwear – you can still wear a thong underneath, you just don't have to. Our strappy Rhiannon Bodysuit is lined too, since nothing fits underneath. Pieces with an ECONYL® lining are fine without underwear for a one-hour class, just like swimwear, but we don't recommend them for all-day wear. When trying pieces on at home, please wear your own underwear – worn items can't be returned.

Yes. Besides our bikinis and Naomi bodysuits, you can swim in all our ECONYL® pieces without a bamboo lining. If you prefer more coverage, our Bettie Top and Bettie Shorts are a great choice for swimming. All our ECONYL® pieces are great for sunbathing: ECONYL® resists chlorine, sun cream and tanning oils, and protects against UV. Even pieces with a bamboo lining, which aren't meant for swimming, are perfect for the sun.

Yes, all our tops work well for the gym. For high-impact sports, we recommend the Bettie Top.

Each product page has a size chart and measurements. If you are between sizes, contact us and we will help you choose.

Choose the smaller size if you like a snug, close fit, or the larger one for more comfort and ease. Also check the colour: darker fabrics stretch less than lighter ones, even with the same fabric composition, because of the dye. So if you're between sizes and the colour is dark, go for the larger size; if it's light, the smaller size should work.

Yes. Our men's pieces have their own size chart, because they're drafted for male proportions. You'll find it on each men's product page.

Our Ruby Garter Shorts have garter straps around the thighs that keep the shorts in place, so the crotch never shifts, even during inverts and spins. Indya, Nathan and Lukas also have garter straps that help keep them in place, but Ruby is our most secure fit.

All Sway pieces can be machine washed, including lurex, except harnesses. Wash at 30 °C on a delicate cycle and air dry.

Bikinis only in a washing bag, such as a Guppyfriend bag. Harnesses should not be machine washed – please wash them by hand.

Yes. A Sway Gift Card is the perfect gift for a friend or loved one. It's sent digitally, so it's ready to gift right away, and it's available in values from €10 to €150. The voucher is valid for one year from purchase.

Often, yes. Email us at sway.polewear@gmail.com with the model, your measurements and the colour you'd like. If we have the fabric and the change is possible, we'll make the same model just for you.

Yes. For a fully custom performance costume, fill in our Custom Costume Form, then book a Custom Costume Design consultation. You'll receive up to three draft designs by email, and after we agree on the final design you'll get a price quote.

Sometimes, but not always. We proudly make every design in very small batches. After a drop, we keep some fabric aside and restock only the most popular pieces and sizes, so a less popular model or size may never be made again. If you love something, we recommend buying it during the drop. If your size is sold out, click "Notify me when it's back in stock" on the product page and we'll email you if it returns.

Yes, as long as it hasn't shipped yet. Email us at sway.polewear@gmail.com to change the size or colour (if available), fix a mistake in your address or sort out any other issue. Once you receive a tracking number, your parcel is about to leave – but the courier often collects it the next day, so write to us as soon as you notice the mistake and we'll do our best to help.
