Ryebread Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 So I just thought I would put this on a forum, but I've just ordered my third binder. It's a size larger than usual because I intend to use it for exercise and other activities like singing and swimming. My only concern is that I've heard that binders don't last long in water, but the company that made the binder (Spectrum) says it's made out of sporting material. Should I use the binder for swimming or not, because I might be fine just using the sports bras I've been using before or buying a better compression one and using this one just for swimming, and I don't want to ruin £38 immediately, but I also want more gender affirming swimwear?

Ditch the Label Staff Blondie Posted May 28, 2022 Ditch the Label Staff Share Posted May 28, 2022 Hi there, I've had a look on the Spectrum site and it seem like they mark the binders as 'swim safe' in the item description if they can be used for swimming. As you say, definitely worth checking before potentially ruining it! 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryebread Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 I’ll try. I haven’t gotten the binder back yet (I sent it to a friend) but I’ll just quick check if it’s swim safe 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
