Finding swimwear that actually feels right shouldn't be this hard. Whether you're looking for a swim binder, board shorts, padded tops, or femme styles, Transform's trans swimwear collection is designed for trans men, trans women, trans masc, trans femme, and nonbinary people who want to feel comfortable and confident in the water.
Every piece in this collection is chosen with the trans community in mind — not adapted from mainstream styles, but designed from the ground up for bodies and identities like yours.
Our swim binders are designed specifically for trans men, trans masculine and nonbinary people who want chest compression while swimming. Made from quick-dry stretch fabrics that stay lightweight and flexible in water, they're built for the pool, the ocean, the beach, and everywhere in between.
We offer two styles:
Swim Binder — Tank: Longer length sitting at the hip for more coverage. Great on its own or layered under a rashguard.
Swim Binder — Crop: Shorter length sitting at the midriff. Pairs well with high-waisted board shorts or swim trunks.
Both provide moderate chest compression — enough to create a flatter silhouette while allowing comfortable breathing and free movement in the water.
Our swim trunks are designed for trans men, trans masc and nonbinary people who want a relaxed, masculine fit in the water. Quick-drying and comfortable, they pair perfectly with a swim binder or wear great on their own.
Trans Femme Swimwear
Our femme swimwear is designed for trans women, trans femme and nonbinary people who want feminine styles that are comfortable and secure in the water. Our tankini top features light padding for a feminine silhouette, while our swim skort has built-in shorts for coverage and modesty — perfect for days when you don't feel like tucking. No compromises, just swimwear that works for you.
A lot of brands use the phrase "trans friendly swimwear" without really meaning it. For us, it means:
If you're not sure where to start, our team is always happy to help — just get in touch.
If you're new to swim binders, it's worth knowing that regular chest binders are not safe to wear swimming. When wet, everyday binders become heavy and restrictive, making it harder to breathe and move — particularly in open water.
Swim binders use swimwear-grade fabrics that behave completely differently in water. They stay lightweight and flexible when wet, making them a safe and affirming choice for water activities.
