Swim Binder - Crop

The Swim Binder Crop is a swimming chest binder designed for trans men, trans masculine and nonbinary people who want chest compression in the water — without compromising comfort, movement, or confidence.

Made from 86% Nylon + 14% Elastane, the fabric is quick-drying, chlorine resistant and UV protective, and stays lightweight and flexible whether you're swimming laps, catching waves, or just enjoying a beach day. Like all Transform binders, it has no rigid panels, so your ribcage can expand naturally when you breathe.

The crop length sits at the midriff and pairs naturally with our swim trunks. If you prefer more coverage, our Swim Binder Tank sits at the hip.

Why you'll love it

  • Chest compression that works in and out of the water
  • Quick-dry fabric that stays lightweight when wet
  • Chlorine resistant for repeated pool use
  • UV protective material for outdoor swimming
  • Stays snug and secure during active swimming and water sports
  • Soft, breathable fabric — no rigid panels, easy to pull on
  • Inclusive sizing from XXS to 5XL

Available in Steel Blue and Moss Green.

Size + Fit

Our chest binders come in 10 different sizes and multiple different styles, meaning we have a binder for every body shape and size.

Fit Notes: When you try your chest binder on for the first time, move your arms and bend your torso in all directions to ensure you have no rubbing, chaffing or restricted movement. Our chest binders are designed to be comfortable and allow for free movement and breathing, so if you experience any discomfort, your chest binder is likely too small.

How do I put my chest binder on?

Our binders and compression tops do not have any rigid panels like many other binders, which means that it should be easy enough to pop on over your head as with any other top. If it's too difficult to pop on over your head then you probably have the wrong size and should go up one size.

Care Instructions

  • Cold machine wash in a laundry bag
  • Hang to dry in the shade
  • Do not tumble dry

Fabric Composition + Breathability

Our chest binders and swim binders are all made from a premium compression fabric made up of 86% Nylon + 14% Elastane. The fabric is super soft to the touch, breathable and durable. Our adjustable crop binders and tank binders also have a separate mesh breathable panel across the back designed to prevent overheating.

What our customers say about our swim binders...

After a decade of not being able to comfortably swim, I bought this swim binder… Wearing it in the pool for the first time felt insane, as I can't remember the last time I didn't have to overly hunch my shoulders to hide my chest while swimming.

Ashton K.

I wore it in a hybrid salt water chlorine pool, it felt comfortable and safe to swim in… It stayed in place, didn't roll up or slide or anything.

LunarPearl

It really does dry as fast as my rash shirt and board shorts do, and the fabric feels just like really high quality swimwear.

Avery H.

The swim tank is so comfortable and works great as a standalone top, even out of the water.

Alicia R.

I have been binding for 5 years and so far this is one of the most comfortable binders I've worn.

Robin M.

It flattens really well and has become a day to day option as well as my swim binder.

Eddie

Purchased a swim tank from Transform and it's perfect. Excellent quality and value for money.
