Summer swimming tip for trans guys and Non binary folks!
I almost didnt go swimming or to the beach all summer because of how anxious and uncomfortable just thinking about being in a wet t shirt and sports bra would make me.
But this company saved me. They’re called Outplay and seem to be mainly advertised towards females but not to the point where navigating the website is unbearable. The flatsea compression shirt is the most comfortable binder I’ve ever worn. Its thicker than a bathing suit but doesnt make you overheat and you dont stay wet longer than normal after getting out of the water either.
I got a size small and with high compression and couldnt be more happy with the results. Its comfortable enough to wear all day at the beach and is more comfortable to wear as a regular binder. My weight has also fluctuated while I’ve owned this binder and when my stomach was bigger the material didnt roll at all. It will run you about $65 (shipping included)for a great transitional binder and it seemed worth it to me.
There is also another company called Heroine Binders that have a complete swimming line that’s AWESOME
They are in fact having a giveaway now that you can check out here
I hope it’s okay for cis people to reblog this in support. I just want to spread this for those who need it.
There’s binders to keep me from feeling like crap while doing something I avoid a lot because it involves wearing something that shows off my body and makes my dysphoria real bad?!
It is ABSOLUTELY ok for cis people to reblog this for their trans/nonbinary friends!!
I just spent four hours knee deep in Peter ParkerxNed Leeds ao3 fan fiction and there is nothing I need more right now than to see Peter straddle and passionately make out with Ned over a half finished lego set in his bedroom.
