also has a section of their site devoted entirely to swim trunks and athletic shorts for trans guys, and are customizable in any number of ways for packing, with several different pocket options. It comes in a few different styles (trunks, briefs, jockstrap, etc) and I think it’s specifically designed to dry quickly. I used a SpareParts “Pete” harness under a normal set of swim trunks for when I packed and swam. Its a very basic design, but if what you're looking for is coverage, it's a good bet. Underworks, an old standby in binder world, makes a binding swim top that looks a little bit like a rash guard or part of a wetsuit. If you don't want to fully bind while swimming, or you want more coverage, try a rash guard (those surfer shirts). You're compressing your chest, so if you're having any trouble breathing, please take a break or take your binder off for a bit. Note: please be very careful when binding while swimming. But they get the job done, and I've also found one or two that exceed expectations. Unfortunately, a lot of them suffer from the same problem as binders in general: plain designs and conventional styling. There are a few different binding swim tops on the market.

Hopefully, you'll see something you like. Luckily, today's swimwear industry has a range of options for trans men and other transmasculine folks. There are also concerns about packing, and whether or not you want to do that in a swimsuit.

Trans men and transmasculine people can especially struggle with swimwear since traditional male-oriented swimsuits are topless, and if you haven't had top surgery, this can be.vexing.
