Since 2016, we’ve been designing chest binders that feel safe, breathable, and full of gender joy.

It’s not about flattening. It’s about feeling like home.

Made for transmasc, non-binary, and gender-diverse bodies—because binding should feel good, not just look flat.

Built for breath. Worn for joy—not suppression.

Because Feeling Free Shouldn’t Hurt

Chest binding can be powerful and liberating—but when done wrong, it hurts.

At TOMSCOUT, we set out to change that.

Our founder, Nicole, knew that discomfort firsthand. So she built TOMSCOUT—driven by the belief that everyone deserves a binder that’s safe, breathable, and made with care.

Raised in a family of garment makers, Nicole understood the power of thoughtful design. She combined lived experience with technical skill to create something better.

Not just flatter.
Feel affirmed. Feel right. Feel free.

The binder we all needed. Now, it’s here.

We Believe in
Binding Without Sacrifice

🛡️

Gender expression should never hurt.

Safety comes first. Every stitch is
made to protect the body you live in.

We design for bodies, not binaries.

No two chests—or journeys—are the same.
Our fit adapts. It never assumes.

Joy belongs in the binder experience.

This isn’t just about compression. It’s about affirmation,
comfort, and feeling seen in your skin.

Nicole Goh, Founder of TOMSCOUT

A Note from Nicole

I’m Nicole Goh, and I still remember the first time I ordered a binder.

It was hard to find—and when it finally arrived, it gave me a kind of euphoria I’d never felt before. For the first time, my body reflected the version of me I’d always carried inside.

But that feeling didn’t last. The fit was wrong. The material was rough. It hurt.

I thought, “If I’m wearing this 10 hours a day, it should do more than just flatten.”

It should feel like home.

I come from a family that made chef apparel. I grew up around sewing machines, patterns, and the belief that clothing should serve the body wearing it.

That’s why I started TOMSCOUT. Not just to make a binder—but to offer something better.

For people like me. And maybe people like you.

It’s the question behind every design:

“Will this help someone feel more like themselves?”

😎 “This Is Me, Now”: Alyssa’s Story

Meet Alyssa, a real TOMSCOUT customer. This is what happens when a binder doesn’t just compress—it affirms. It fits. It reflects who you are.

Before wearing TOMSCOUT binder

Before: “I didn’t feel like myself.”

After wearing TOMSCOUT binder

After: “I finally saw me in the mirror.”

“It’s the first binder I’ve ever owned—and I’m pretty happy with it. It’s comfortable, and I love that the closure has four rows of hooks. On long days, I can loosen it a bit and still feel good.”
