How a Camisole Prevents Printing

October 14, 2019 by Online Carry Training

Today, many fashion items in women’s wear give consideration to how to accommodate concealed carry weapons. The camisole has been a fashion mainstay for decades. They have been worn under tank top, shirts, blouses, and sweaters by women of all ages. Camisoles have been a favored undergarment for sheer fabric shirts, and itchy fabric over blouses. The extra layer made low necklines more comfortable. Camisoles kept shirts from clinging and covered those bulges.

Little did we know that this item would come in handy for concealed carry.  The camisole’s base layer helps reduce printing. Concealed carrying women often choose to wear a camisole or tank top. The added layer behind their holster and gun avoids the feeling of gun and holster against the skin.

Camisoles work weIl with flowing or baggy shirts. They keep your handgun from being exposed by reaching or wind. Moreover, a camisole gives you the confidence that your weapon won’t be seen and hence, curbs your urge to print. This extra layer between you and your gun gives you a feeling of increased security of safe concealment. 

Camisoles also add a smooth layer over your concealed carry weapon wiping out sharp points and bulges of a handgun and holster. With a camisole you are unlikely to get your gun caught. However, you are dealing with an added layer and that makes drawing more challenging. It requires practice to access and re-holster your weapon.

Those who have long preferred tank tops to camisoles debate the advantages of each.  Tank tops have wider straps; camisoles usually come with spaghetti straps.

Many prefer camisoles or tank tops with shape provided by compression. While reaching for your weapon might become a problem, some companies like Spanx and TC Tummy Two Layer Camisole have designed camisoles specifically for those who carry firearms. They have minimal compression unlike the usual Spanx line.

 The material in these specially designed for concealed carry camisoles is light-weight.

In the case of TC Tummy Two Layer Camisole, the inside layer is fitted and has more compression. It is ideal for those who don’t like their holster and gun touching skin. The outer layer is looser but still fits against your body. This camisole can be worn on its own or topped by a blouse, shirt, sweater, or jacket.

 When it comes to concealed carry garments, the versatile camisole offers a lot of options that make you feel secure that your  weapon is not showing, slipping, or in danger of falling out of its holster.
