Can I Exercise/Swim in My Binder?Updated 8 months ago

If you're going to exercise in your binder, we suggest: 

Practice comfort and safety!

• If you are apprehensive, or if you have extenuating health conditions, we strongly recommend checking in with your doctor before binding during exercise.

• Know your limits and take it easy. Go slowly with exercise intensity and take baby steps if you’re worried; everybody is different. It is important to take the binder off/cease the activity if you notice any sort of pain or discomfort.

• Wearing a size up from your regular fit as it is important not to bind too tightly while exercising. Be sure to stretch and breathe, and follow healthy binding etiquette.

Swimming: 

Like most swimsuits, our binders are made from a spandex + nylon blend. The material will not be damaged by water or swimming. 

• We suggest having a dedicated swimming binder to ensure that you have a dry one available after swimming. Rinse and dry the binder after swimming to get salt/dirt/chlorine out. Water should not wear negatively on your binder.

• Do not try to put your binder on while you are wet, nor while the binder is wet. You won’t be able to get it on--and you run the risk of breaking seams.
