snug-fit

Closely conforming shape

Snug-fit describes something designed to fit tightly against a surface or body, with minimal looseness or gap: snug-fit jeans, snug-fit condoms, snug-fit earbuds.

The hyphenated form typically appears as an adjective before a noun, emphasizing the close, secure fit as a design feature rather than an accident.
