Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fabhesive?
Fabhesive is a reusable adhesive grip strip with a textured, rubberized surface designed to help clothing stay in place. It is not typical double-sided clothing tape. The original Fabhesive design was created to prevent skirts from rotating around the waist, and it can also help keep a shirt tucked in.
Because many customers wanted a thinner option specifically for shirts, we created Shirt Grips™, a slimmer version designed to keep shirts neatly tucked.
What is the thickness of the strip, will I see it under my clothes?
Skirt Stays are approximately 3mm thick. They are intentionally designed to be slightly thicker to help hold the waistband in place and prevent skirts from rotating. When properly placed on the inside of the waistband, they are not visible under most structured or workwear fabrics. With very thin or lightweight materials, visibility may occur when a shirt is tucked in.
Shirt Grips™ are thinner and designed specifically to keep shirts tucked. When used as intended, they are discreet and not visible under clothing.
What is the difference between Fabhesive Skirt Stays and Shirt Grips™
Both products use the same foam-backed grip design, but they are made for two different wardrobe problems.
Skirt Stays are slightly thicker and designed to help hold the waistband in place, preventing skirts from twisting or shifting as you move. They can grip to the skin or a tucked-in shirt, depending on the outfit.
Shirt Grips™ are thinner and designed specifically to hold a tucked-in shirt securely against the waistband, keeping shirts neatly in place throughout the day.
Is Fabhesive reusable?
Yes, up to three times or longer. As long as it remains sticky continue to use. Just simply place on the white paper backing and save for next time.
Will this damage my clothes?
The Fabhesive strips were designed to stay on the inside waistand until gently removed. Remove promptly after each use and do not leave on garment permanently. In rare occurrences if residue is left behind, simply using a little rubbing alcohol or an adhesive remover product to remove. Test on gentle fabrics.
