Swim Binder

A chest binder is a garment that is worn to compress the chest! Chest binders are often worn by transgender and non-binary people to reduce the appearance of their chest. Chest binders can also be worn by people who experience chest dysphoria, which is a feeling of discomfort or distress caused by a mismatch between one's gender identity and the physical appearance of one's chest.

Washing Your Swim Binder by Hand

1. Use warm or cold water to wash your chest binder.
2. Lather the binder with a mild dish soap or laundry detergent, and gently wash it through.
3. After washing, gently squeeze the binder to remove excess water before air drying it. Make sure to rinse your binder thoroughly to ensure all soap is removed before drying.

Air Drying Your Swim Binder

1. Just hang your binder up or lay it flat overnight, and it should be dry and ready to use by morning.

Machine Drying Your Swim Binder

1. We advise against machine drying your chest binder as exposing it to very high temperatures can cause it to shrink.
2. If you must use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting or the "air-only" mode to minimize the risk of shrinkage. Placing the binder in a mesh laundry bag will offer extra protection during drying.

Additional Tips

• Use a medium-temperature setting while ironing your binder.
• Only use bleach if your binder is white.
• Avoid dry cleaning your Swim Binder.

We believe in providing transparent and helpful care instructions for our products. Following these care instructions will help you maintain your Swim Binder in the best possible condition.

It’s really important that you always wear your binder in the correct size. If you’re unsure about your size, contact our customer support team via email at hi@chestbinder.co. We will be more than happy to help you.

If you’re starting out with binders we recommend building up the time that you wear. For example, start with 2 hours, the next day 3 hours, and so on. Build this up to a maximum of 8 hours per day. It's also important to remember to never sleep in a binder as these are compression garments. We also never recommend double-binding/wearing two compression garments at the same time layered on top of each other. You can read our binding safety tips here.

If you’re experiencing any discomfort or pain while binding, please stop binding. If you are concerned about having potentially injured yourself, contact your doctor.
