Swimming should be a relaxing and enjoyable experience for everyone. Yet that’s not always the case. For many trans people, swimwear can be a source of insecurity because traditional designs often aren’t created with their bodies in mind.
Transgender swimwear offers the perfect solution: clothing that combines support, safety and discretion with style and comfort.
What is transgender swimwear?
Transgender swimwear is specially designed to support the body and create a natural, flat or balanced shape—depending on your needs. Think of tucking swimsuits or swim shorts with extra support.
These garments are made from high-quality, quick-drying fabrics that are non-transparent, stay securely in place in the water and feel soft against the skin.
Whether you’re relaxing at the beach, swimming laps, or joining a swimming lesson: with transgender swimwear, you can move freely without worrying about comfort or fit.
Comfort and safety first
The right fit is essential. Transgender swimwear is designed with safe tucking and proper support in mind. The materials are stretchy yet firm, keeping everything in place without digging in. Seams are often flat-finished to prevent chafing during movement or swimming.
Tucking swimsuits include a built-in panel or extra layer that helps create a smoother silhouette. If you prefer a looser model, transgender swim shorts with integrated support are a great option—ideal for anyone who feels more comfortable with additional coverage.
If you choose to wear tucking swimwear, always pick the right size and listen to your body. Comfort comes first. Long or overly tight tucking can strain the skin, so take enough breaks.
How to find the right size for transgender swimwear
Finding the right size is important for both comfort and safety:
-
Measure your waist and hips with a flexible measuring tape. Keep the tape horizontal and don’t pull it too tight.
-
Waist: measure the narrowest part of your torso.
-
Hips: measure the widest part of your hips or buttocks.
-
Compare your measurements with the size chart on the product page. If you fall between two sizes, choose the larger one for more freedom of movement and less pressure.
-
Keep in mind that tucking swimsuits may fit a bit more snugly than swim shorts, but they should never pinch or feel uncomfortable.
A well-fitting size ensures the swimwear does what it’s meant to do: stay discreet, supportive and comfortable—even during long swims.
Different styles of transgender swimwear
Transgender swimwear comes in many styles, colours and sizes, so everyone can find something that suits their body and personality.
-
Tucking swimsuits: form-fitting designs with an extra internal layer for a flatter front.
-
Swim shorts with built-in briefs: provide support and coverage, often with a drawstring or elastic waistband for a secure fit.
-
Supportive bikini bottoms: suitable for light tucking or as a discreet layer under other swimwear.
These garments are designed to be functional and beautiful—because confidence starts with feeling like you belong, even in swimwear.
Tips for use and washing
To keep your transgender swimwear in good condition, proper care is important. Rinse it with cold water after each use to remove chlorine and salt. Let it air-dry out of direct sunlight. Avoid washing machines, dryers and harsh detergents—they can damage the elastic fibers.
