Gender-Affirming Swimwear: What to Look for and Where to Start

Summer is around the corner, and it's time to dive in—literally. But for many trans and non-binary folks, swimwear shopping can feel intimidating and overwhelming. We're here to change that. Let’s talk about gender-affirming swimwear and how to find a suit that feels like you.

For Transmasc Folks:

  • Look for swim tops with compression and secure straps like our swim crops and swim tanks.

  • Swim shirts or rash vests can add coverage.

  • Swim trunks with an inner liner or packing pouch can increase comfort.

For Transfemme Folks:

  • Consider tucking bottoms or swimsuits with built-in support.

  • High-waisted styles offer extra comfort and coverage.

General Tips:

  • Try it on at home first if possible.

  • Look for quick-drying, breathable fabrics.

Swimwear should be fun, expressive, and affirming. Choose what makes you feel like the best version of yourself—on the beach, in the pool, or lounging in the sun.
