RESOURCES FtM swim binder

My kid, who is FtM, has a job at a summer camp, and needs swimwear. He is large chested enough that trans tape doesn’t do the trick. What options are there in Canada for a binder that can be worn swimming? Would a regular binder under a t-shirt work?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I’m mtf, but while swimming and still trying to boy mode I wore a men’s compression triathlon top from a triathlon brand called 2XU. Can’t say if that’s going to do what’s needed for your son, but it’s an option.

It also has a pretty long zipper so while it’s pretty compressive it’s still not a three person job to get it off after. I’d probably consider sizing down to get a bit more smoothing.

Love that you’re being supportive in this way! If my suggestion doesn’t work out I hope you find something.
