What VOYJOY makes, and who it is for

VOYJOY makes seamless activewear for women, and has done since 2022. The word seamless is doing real work in that sentence: nearly everything on these six shelves is knitted to its shape on a machine rather than cut from flat cloth and sewn, so the front of a leg and the side of a body carry no seam, and the one line on most pieces is the gathered seam at the centre back that the cards call a scrunch. Nylon makes up most of the knit, spandex the rest, and the exact blend is printed where our product data gives it.

What we make

Shorts are the shelf we are known for. The impact family is one short cut at four inseams, 2.5, 3.6, 4.5 and 6 inches, and sold here as four pieces because the length is the first choice you make and the colour is the second; around it sit the biker cuts, two of them with a pocket, and the pairs cut low on the hip for a cropped top. Leggings come as a straight scrunch pair at 24 and 26 inches, a mini flare that opens over a trainer, a capri and a split-hem pair. The wide-leg pants are a legging through the hip and a trouser from the knee, cut at 29, 31.5, 33 and 35 inches so the hem breaks on your shoe rather than above it.

Above the waist there are fourteen padded bras, sized by one letter and chosen by their back: strappy cross-backs, halters, twist fronts, a high neck, an open back and two strapless bandeaus. The tanks and crop tops carry the same removable pad and are worn without a bra; the crop tees and the long sleeve are double-lined so a pale colour is not sheer; two ballet wrap tops tie at the waist over a bra, and a half-zip goes on last. A pleated tennis skort with a short knitted in and a halter jumpsuit are the two pieces that fit on no other shelf.

Who it is for

You, if you train a few times a week and are tired of two things: a waistband that rolls at the top of a squat, and a photograph that showed a length you did not get. Both are fit problems, and both are why every card here prints numbers rather than adjectives. The hip and the bust are the two measurements that decide a letter on this site; the inseam is measured on the garment, from the crotch seam to the hem; the rise is named as high or low because the two behave differently in a squat and are bought by different measurements.

Most of the range is cut from XS to XL. The impact shorts and the straight wide-leg pants run from XXS to 3XL on every length, which is the widest run we make, and the card prints the run for each piece so you are never guessing from the shelf. Prices sit between eight and thirty dollars, which is the reason so many buyers own a piece in three colours, and the reason we would rather you bought one first and the colours second.

What we will and will not say

A card describes a garment: how it is knitted, where the seams are and are not, how high the band sits, how long the leg is, whether the pads come out. Words like sculpt and lift describe what the gathered seam does to the cloth. What a piece does for you in a mirror is yours to judge, and the pages leave it to you. Where a page touches a rule, the fibre label, the care label, the flammability standard clothing is sold under, it is written under a named public source, read on the date printed beside it.

The one verifiable thing we say about ourselves is the year, 2022. Everything else you might want to know about a piece is on its card, and how the figures on those cards are kept current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
