The Secret Story of Our Founder
SHE / HER
Nicole Goh
"I am Nicole Goh, and I want to share a personal journey with you. As someone who identifies as non-binary with a female body, there have been times when I felt that I wasn't truly myself unless I could flatten my chest, aligning with my authentic identity.
This desire for a body shape that mirrors my inner self led me to the discovery of chest binders, which felt like a dream come true. Using a chest binder into my daily routine became essential.
However, I was often disappointed by the low-quality materials and the lack of durability and comfort that many binders offered. This disappointment ignited a passion within me, and I made a decision.
I decided to create TOMSCOUT, a store dedicated to providing higher-quality chest binders for people like me who longed for a flatter chest and to create a space that unites all LGBTQ+ people.”
When you encounter challenges like the ones I faced, you may find yourself on a seemingly endless quest for solutions. Where do you even begin? Who can you trust?
At TOMSCOUT,
We have become a brand that the LGBTQ+ community can rely on.
We believe that you should always feel like yourself. Let us embark on a journey where authenticity and comfort are not just aspirations but a reality.

We expanded our workspaces and warehousing in Malaysia, resulting in increased production capacity and enhanced cost efficiency.
We embarked on a new journey into the world of LGBTQ+ accessories, expanding our product range to include a diverse collection, flags, pins, and bandanas, all aimed at celebrating and supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, our founder embarked on a two-year journey to redesign all types of binders, prioritizing superior fabrics, comfort, and durability.
Our founder delved into embroidery. We began expanding our offerings, including tote bags and clothing collections, all currently in progress.
