Filming sex scenes can be fraught. These New Yorkers want to make them safer.

WNYC News | Feb 16, 2024

When the film and TV industry returned to work last fall, so did New York City-based set costumers Lucy Shapiro and Taylor Smith.

But they hope audiences never see their work.

In September 2022, Shapiro and Smith started Covvier, a “modesty garment” company.

The name is a portmanteau of “cover” and “barrier” and the products, which cost around $60 each, are designed to cover genitalia during sex or nude scenes.
