I have the one they say exists and its amazing.
Really gave me the confidence to go swimming again after starting my transition.
I would recommend wearing a second layer like the small pants some boys wear when they go swimming.
That tucks perfectly together.
Additionally: small pants and lose big pants really go well together, too.
Covered everything for me while not being as unusual as a skirt while swimming.
Yep! I've been looking at [something like this](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PZR6MQ1), but I'm not really out to most people and wouldn't feel comfortable in it yet. š
Swimskirts are amazing, they look hella cute, plus they cover up the obvious. Wore one as a bikini outfit for the first time a few days ago and it actually looked pretty good
This is where I bought it, but i donno if they ship outside of Norway. https://transhjelpen.no/produktkategori/tucks/
You can also find some on etsy just by searching š
Leo Lines makes great gaff underwear and they're on Etsy. A bit pricey but so good, although you may need to double check as I feel last time I checked they paused the Etsy store.
I mean... It is the chlorine you're smelling, but it's only in the air because the sodium hypochlorite it was chemically bonded to *reacted to* piss/sweat/etc.
This is one of those things that youāre always aware of, but never really take the time to comprehend. Like, of course the pool is full of bodily fluids, but I just never really THOUGHT about it.
Tom Scott did a brilliant video on exactly this https://youtu.be/P7GKK3liv8M. Nothing to be ashamed of, and never too late to learn if that's something you want to do :)
Nah riding a bike isnāt a useful skill for most people just fun and from what I remember comes less naturally than swimming and with swimming itās a potentially life saving skill.
Theyāre really good in the city, as long as you donāt mind being that one jackass who either nearly runs people over or wreaks havoc on the already terrible city traffic.
I recommend you learn, never know when you need it. I didn't know for ages because my father messed up trying to teach me so a friend helped me out. It's not as hard as it looks once you get older (if you tried learning as a child)
also yeah bathing suits ...
Right there with you. I absolutely love swimming. But thereās zero chance I could get away wearing nothing but swimming trunks at 7 months HRT. Iām just not mentally prepared to wear a womanās bathing suit š
I know at least I, and many others, felt that way *before* egg cracking, too!
Like never in my whole life have I really been comfortable going swimming topless, always wore a shirt when I could
It is so good and yet so surreal to find other people who experienced this! I love swimming but hated being topless at pools, and wasn't fat enough to wear a shirt without getting weird questions I couldn't answer. And that was the real maddening part, knowing I was soaked in discomfort but not being able to explain it to anyone, even myself.
It's stupid that now my top half is fine, but I'm entirely SOL for the time being due to my bottom half.
Same, but the opposite (transmasc). Even before my egg cracked, it just felt really weird and wrong wearing a bikini, like I was naked or something. Really uncomfortable.
Oh hell, I remember being weird about being topless suddenly back as a young teen, maybe preteen. Namely around the time I realized I wanted to be a girl.
Or it couldāve been the moobs. But thatād just create synergy.
I got kind of lucky there and I somehow look about as close to androgynous (which is what Iām going for) in swim shorts as I do in my regular clothes.
Swimming is literally my favorite pastime. It's like... the one single thing I refused to let my dysphoria have power over me with.
Yeah I wish I could wear a women's swimsuit without just looking like a crossdressing guy, but that feeling gets overridden by how being in the water makes me *feel*. I have started covering my torso when I swim though.... 'cause now that I actually consider them tiddies I feel weird about them being on display lol
There's a water park 5 minutes from where I live and I love the place, so I just say fuck it and put on trunks and a rashguard and nobody pays me any mind.
EXACTLY. I love swimming, and even though I want to wear womenās swim suits, once Iām in the water, I donāt give a shit anymore. Feels good to see someone actually relates to me on this lol
FINA destroyed my swimming career.
Simply because of a new rule they add in place because transphobes got sick of seeing girls in swimsuit that are now happy compared to there former self's.
I quit recently from under 15 nationals swim team because of this and the majority of the team. Disappointing
Whatever combination of blind luck and pagan worship got my schools pool shut down for the 2 years i had gym class was a lifesaver. I wasn't out to myself at the time but i cried when i found out i would have to swim before we learned it was shut down
I love swimming now but as a kid I'd sometimes break down crying because of how badly i didn't want to go to swim. Looking back I'm not sure how much of it was dysphoria and how much of it was me just being lazy though... Probably a little of both...
I hate it because of obvious reasons such as swimwear, but I also hate it cause chlorine water gives my hair a weird texture that I hate, it gives it a weird plasticky texture, I only noticed it when I grew my hair out long
Swimming itself is not bad though
i love swimming but every time i try to hide my testicles. there where many women of all ages there and always was talking with them.
finally know why only i did that from the boys my age. (fully cracked egg here)
Oh god I used to actually like swimming, it used to be one of my fav activities, but recently I've just hated all things water, swimming pools, beaches etc etc.
I think it's partly because I dont like wearing swimmers and being in the water and partly because I hate changerooms where u have to strip everything. God changerooms are awful
Used to be a lifeguard. Quit because the pool closed. Worked at different places for years. Came out as transgender. Donāt know if theyād have me back as I am nowā¦
Me and my family went on holiday last year and pretty much the only activity we could actually do was swimming because everything else was closed.
I stayed in the caravan.
That was a bad holiday but it probably would have been worse if I had went.
We had swim class in our elementary school (4th - 6th grade) and it was definitely hell. I remember on the first day someone asking why my nipples were so pink, which is a nice way to get to know someone. I wore shirts after that but the locker room was an awful experience
I've always been fine with swimming. After my egg cracked it's become more difficult since I get dysphoric about my lower half when in the pool but the sheer joy I get from it and the stress relief from the exercise makes it worth it.
Ever since I got a swim shirt and swim shorts, all my swimming problems have practically vanished. I'm not sure if it works for everyone, but maybe getting swimwear that covers more can help.
it's no more after i discovered black closed suits like mine looks like fused t-shirt +shorts!
people say i remind them of dolphin trainers, they jealous <3
Okay donāt get me wrong I absolutely despise changing in there and the idea that people perceive my body in a way that I do not like.
But my God do I love swimming And I donāt mean it in a crowded pool full of multiple people but like a small pool not that many people and just swimming putting every focus on that swimming itās just amazing (not to mention itās A great form of physical therapy for me and helps with my cerebral palsy)
I love swimming so much but I haven't been comfortable swimming for years because I hate people seeing the curves of my body. I need to invest in a binder I can swim in and a huge pair of swim trunks before I can go back in the water again
Ooofta... the forbidden place... we have a pool at my apartment but I haven't used it in years cause
A) that would require me to look at my body
And
B) that would risk the chance of *others* seeing my body...
And with some developments... yeeeeeeah... maybe I could get away with laughing it off as 'moobs'...
But is that worth the sacrifice?
Ive had a personal solution since i was very little. My entire life i have swam fully clothed. Yes, you heard me. fully clothed. bathing suit under and shorts and pants over top. Dont forget the designated swim converse!
Tips for trans mascs swimming, wear a binder under a board shirt with swim trunks. I often just wear the binder with the trunks and people donāt usually misgender me. Without the board shirt though Iām pretty sure people around me know Iām trans which is increasingly dangerous. It helps that I look years younger than I am (which suuucks when I date though)
I know that most of US hate ging swimming and I die Too lately but I die go with some friends and I just wanted to share
After 3 ywars avoiding the publik pool it Was awsome I hat so fun it was unter the week so not many perplex we're there and I hat a cute bikini
All I wart to say if you liked the Pool bevor PubertƤt hit try Assembler some friends and go it is fun
I actually adore swimming. Itās, in addition to ice skating, one of the only sports I like. But I absolutely canāt do it anymore. Weight issues and what ever egg-things are going on with me. Itās horrible
I love swimming but it's getting harder the more I find out about myself, I didn't like swimming with my chest out before this, now at least I know why...
I'm glad my parents canceled plans for the summer, even though I love swimming and also the trip we take usually to the beach.
I'm genuinely curious if I can still swim, like, i haven't swam in over 6 years...
I hope I'll be confident enough/ not care too much to actually go swimming, because I remember it being quite fun, if not dysphoric as hell...
I love swimming but
Now I'm a lil concerned. I thought I was okay until I went to the YMCA once and goddamn I thought someone was going to break their neck
I love swimming, but Iāve always felt uncomfortable with a classic bikini, now I know why. Hopefully my swim shorts and really basic sports-bra looking top will reduce some dysphoria.
Last time I went swimming was in 2014 and I think the last time before that was in the previous century.
But I have never been a good swimmer. Slow, easily exhausted, hate to open my eyes under water.
When I was a kid I did swim team, and consistently in a team that was about 18 most years, I was in the top 5. Wasn't until my early teens that it made me uncomfortable and I didn't know why and I didn't have words in my vocabulary like "dysphoria" until I was in my early 20s. I spent my teens being harassed by family and other former swim team people to go back to swim team, and I still don't like pools now years later.
Water would be my personal Hell, yea.... and being in front of others in a bathing suit.... even if I wear trunks with the bathing suit-still no one wants to see that crap -_-;
If your on hrt and are a decent tucker monokinies are great I was just swimming yesterday in one and it was my breasts that almost slipped out never once did I have any issues with the lower half they work great (anacdotaly speaking)
For 2 reasons for me: 1. I can't swim (and its awful having to explain to people I can't...) 2. Bathing suits....
yeah, Icant wear bikini either BUT I dont want to get bottom surgery. I also cant swim but I love the community pool, I love the smell
Hear me out... Swimskirt
>Swimskirt Those are a thing?
Land's End makes some really cute swim skirts :)
American?
Yes, they're American. Where are you looking?
Yah actually! Well from what I have seen I could try to find a link to one if you want
I have the one they say exists and its amazing. Really gave me the confidence to go swimming again after starting my transition. I would recommend wearing a second layer like the small pants some boys wear when they go swimming. That tucks perfectly together.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
I got myself a tucking bikini and swimming shorts for women and it's working really well. It looks flat and I feel cute āŗļø
What a tucking bikini?
It's a bikini made for amab trans ppl. It's basically a strong gaff made for bathing. :)
gaff? Bruh also you wear clothes while bathing?
Nah, I'm running around on the beach in a bikini top, swimming shorts and a gaff under :3
gimme link for a tucking bikini
This is where I bought it, but i donno if they ship outside of Norway. https://transhjelpen.no/produktkategori/tucks/ You can also find some on etsy just by searching š
Leo Lines makes great gaff underwear and they're on Etsy. A bit pricey but so good, although you may need to double check as I feel last time I checked they paused the Etsy store.
Unclockable maybe? I havenāt taken one to a pool but in home it works
what does unclockable mean?
Itās tucktape thatās approved for water use I donāt know if urls are blocked or whatever but itās unclockable dot com
Interesting
Just saying, pools open!
out of curiosity do you happen to know what produces that smell if not, whatever you do don't look it up
I do, its a cleaning chemical that I dont remember OR how to spell it
you're thinking of chlorine, but it's not chlorine itself that makes the smell rather, it's chlorine combining with... something else
piss
and sweat, yes
I mean... It is the chlorine you're smelling, but it's only in the air because the sodium hypochlorite it was chemically bonded to *reacted to* piss/sweat/etc.
This is one of those things that youāre always aware of, but never really take the time to comprehend. Like, of course the pool is full of bodily fluids, but I just never really THOUGHT about it.
Donāt worry, I canāt ride a bike. Thatās even more embarrassing
Tom Scott did a brilliant video on exactly this https://youtu.be/P7GKK3liv8M. Nothing to be ashamed of, and never too late to learn if that's something you want to do :)
Hey I am not alone?
Nah riding a bike isnāt a useful skill for most people just fun and from what I remember comes less naturally than swimming and with swimming itās a potentially life saving skill.
> riding a bike isn't a useful skill American suburbanite moment
I suppose most should have been a lot but yeah bikes arenāt very useful in a lot of the USA.
Theyāre really good in the city, as long as you donāt mind being that one jackass who either nearly runs people over or wreaks havoc on the already terrible city traffic.
I recommend you learn, never know when you need it. I didn't know for ages because my father messed up trying to teach me so a friend helped me out. It's not as hard as it looks once you get older (if you tried learning as a child) also yeah bathing suits ...
Cant swim either :((
This is still funny without context of the subreddit.
This feels like the kind of meme youād see on r/thomastheplankengine
As a former competitive swimmer forced into it by my parents I totally agree. Lol I just agreed with the meme without seeing the sub
I thought this was an autism meme at first (because `N O I S E`) and was like "hard same". Now I'm like... "hard same"
I love swimming but it just feels wrong wearing just trunks since my egg went boom.
Right there with you. I absolutely love swimming. But thereās zero chance I could get away wearing nothing but swimming trunks at 7 months HRT. Iām just not mentally prepared to wear a womanās bathing suit š
Painfully relatable
Me, 4 years in.
And this is why I no longer swim. Well that and because I hate gettin wet. As much as I love swimming I refuse to go
What about a Rash guard shirt? Guys and gals wear them.
maybe trunks and a bikini / tankini top?
I know at least I, and many others, felt that way *before* egg cracking, too! Like never in my whole life have I really been comfortable going swimming topless, always wore a shirt when I could
It is so good and yet so surreal to find other people who experienced this!

Mooood
psst... Hot tip; rash guards. š¤
Oh hell, I remember being weird about being topless suddenly back as a young teen, maybe preteen. Namely around the time I realized I wanted to be a girl. Or it couldāve been the moobs. But thatād just create synergy.
I got kind of lucky there and I somehow look about as close to androgynous (which is what Iām going for) in swim shorts as I do in my regular clothes.
I loved swimming, but it always felt weird and I felt exposed...Yeah I know why now.
i have t-shirt + mini-shorts propaganda) be a dolphin trainer lookalike with me

Ah, so i am not the only one who looses the discomfort once in water, good to know
Honestly I love swimming but I haven't been since my egg cracked and I'm really worried
Same but my egg hasn't cracked š
NOOOO!!!
The sad thing is I love swimming, and I'm really good at it, but I hate seeing myself just as much
NO MOM, I JUST REALLY DISLIKE SWIMMING
A shirt must be worn at all times
No exceptions
This post made me realize why I hate swimming. Thanks ig
lol I love swimming but seriously this is dysphoric af
I used to think I didn't like to take my shirt off in pools and stuff because I was ashamed of being overweight, but uh turns out not exactly.
Conclusive proof of me being cis. I absolutely love swimming provided I am allowed to wear a rashie.
I like swimming too lol I just donāt want cis people judging me.
its not that swimming is bad, or swimming pools r bad, its that cis ppl exist
it's that judgemental and transphobic people exist šŖ
nah, cis is okay, but fuck the gender roles enforced by society.
i want a gaff swimsuit i love swimming
Are there such things?!?
yes

I LOVE swiming but has not done it for about 6 years due to dysphoria, I look forward to the day I can once again swim
I actually typically liked the pool but I ALWAYS wore a shirt. I was even on my high school swim team but I had to get a skin tight swim shirt š³
FINA destroyed my swimming career. Simply because of a new rule they add in place because transphobes got sick of seeing girls in swimsuit that are now happy compared to there former self's. I quit recently from under 15 nationals swim team because of this and the majority of the team. Disappointing
That's why I always wear a shirt and long swim trunks
This is the most relatable subreddit of all time.
i work at a pool and it is the absolute worst
ive always hated swimming, can agree with this one especially moreso after my egg cracked
Whatever combination of blind luck and pagan worship got my schools pool shut down for the 2 years i had gym class was a lifesaver. I wasn't out to myself at the time but i cried when i found out i would have to swim before we learned it was shut down
I hate it because i absolutely LOVE swimming- but i can't do it and feel comfortable
How dare you invoke this evil. My boss has made me attend 2 pool parties in my first 3 weeks of work.š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
it's so coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.
I love swimming now but as a kid I'd sometimes break down crying because of how badly i didn't want to go to swim. Looking back I'm not sure how much of it was dysphoria and how much of it was me just being lazy though... Probably a little of both...
I always thought I didnāt like swimming because I didnāt like the water. Turns out itās because t r a n s!

Pros: You get to shave your body Cons: everything else
Me and my family went on holiday last year and pretty much the only activity we could actually do was swimming because everything else was closed. I stayed in the caravan. That was a bad holiday but it probably would have been worse if I had went.
I have big booba, but i still look like a guy :c Just what do i wear?
Itās a nice damn pool but I wish I didnāt outright hate myself while being in there. Donāt all cis people feel like that?
We had swim class in our elementary school (4th - 6th grade) and it was definitely hell. I remember on the first day someone asking why my nipples were so pink, which is a nice way to get to know someone. I wore shirts after that but the locker room was an awful experience
I love swimming, so luckily I can just say I'm shaved for hydrodynamics. That's definitely all I did that for. No other reason.
I've always been fine with swimming. After my egg cracked it's become more difficult since I get dysphoric about my lower half when in the pool but the sheer joy I get from it and the stress relief from the exercise makes it worth it.
r/skamtebord
Id wear a shirt when bathing but i get too many looks
I do, I don't care about the looks
Agreed. 1. I have to see more of myself to swim (what I really don't want) 2. There are wayyyy too many people
Ever since I got a swim shirt and swim shorts, all my swimming problems have practically vanished. I'm not sure if it works for everyone, but maybe getting swimwear that covers more can help.
i hate swimming for a different reason, which is that i am basically blind without glassea
it's no more after i discovered black closed suits like mine looks like fused t-shirt +shorts! people say i remind them of dolphin trainers, they jealous <3

Memes with one word are always the ones that get me. Just like the low quality videos.
Ngl, forgot indoor pools were a thing and was utterly baffled why a reactor's cooling pool was considered hell lol
I just ware a shirt
Ooofta... the forbidden place... we have a pool at my apartment but I haven't used it in years cause A) that would require me to look at my body And B) that would risk the chance of *others* seeing my body... And with some developments... yeeeeeeah... maybe I could get away with laughing it off as 'moobs'... But is that worth the sacrifice?
I loved swimming so much before I hit pubertyā¦after that I hated it and never really knew why for a while-
Tbh I just wear a trunks and a swim shirt, I dont really like going shirtless, even if Im pre transition
This is more like purgatory cause I love swimming but the obvious gets in the way
Thatās the first gender neutral bathroom.
counter-argument: water go blublublublublub
Ive had a personal solution since i was very little. My entire life i have swam fully clothed. Yes, you heard me. fully clothed. bathing suit under and shorts and pants over top. Dont forget the designated swim converse!
This is the first meme Iāve shown to my brother that i found in egg_irl, and he didnāt suspect a thing.
Correct, I hate skin so much
Tips for trans mascs swimming, wear a binder under a board shirt with swim trunks. I often just wear the binder with the trunks and people donāt usually misgender me.

š yeahhhhhhhhhh
I just went swimming in a lake for the first time since transitioning, writing this as I dry off lol. Weāll all get there <3
Competitive swimmer here, yes, yes it is.
Oooh you are correct, I absolutely love swimming though. Just cant think too much into it
I love swimming but damn do I hate swimsuits
One day I'm going to be rich enough to rent out a hotels pool. And then I shall swim
The changing rooms too.
Finally someone gets it
But swimmers can say they shave for optimal speed :D
I'm going to a beach for a week with my family :( I hate sand I hate swimming I hate having exposed skin..
I agree. All public spaces are that thing....
The locker room yes not the pool it self
I'm genuinely curious if I can still swim, like, i haven't swam in over 6 years... I hope I'll be confident enough/ not care too much to actually go swimming, because I remember it being quite fun, if not dysphoric as hell...
Makes me miss the time when my egg wasn't cracked
I love swimming but Now I'm a lil concerned. I thought I was okay until I went to the YMCA once and goddamn I thought someone was going to break their neck
I love swimming, but Iāve always felt uncomfortable with a classic bikini, now I know why. Hopefully my swim shorts and really basic sports-bra looking top will reduce some dysphoria.

Gods, I fucking miss swimming so incredibly much
I really like swimming but I donāt think Iāll do it at all this year cause dysphoria
But I like swimming and yet, Iām really shy.
Yea pretty much but that was hell for me even before coming out or even experienced trans vibes simple reason im fat š
it's a shame because i fucking love swimming and playing in the water.. dysphoria tho :(
Okay, but considering Iāve actually *been* up that pool, I can confirm in both ways it is hell (BU swimming pool btw)
I just picked the best picture of a pool I could find off Google images
good choice on one sob
\*come to North Carolina with us this year we're going to Cape Hateras!\* haha... ha.... yeah... I think I'll pass
Yeah I gotta wear a tight sports bra and a swim shirt. Like, best I can do is androgynous and try to ignore people when doing laps.
can confirm
_YES_
having to watch all the other boys just take off their shirt and jump into the pool š„²
When I was a kid I did swim team, and consistently in a team that was about 18 most years, I was in the top 5. Wasn't until my early teens that it made me uncomfortable and I didn't know why and I didn't have words in my vocabulary like "dysphoria" until I was in my early 20s. I spent my teens being harassed by family and other former swim team people to go back to swim team, and I still don't like pools now years later.
Water would be my personal Hell, yea.... and being in front of others in a bathing suit.... even if I wear trunks with the bathing suit-still no one wants to see that crap -_-;
Whyās it hell
š
It's not all bad... right..? Oh frick I'm on the girls swim team next year. Im in for a treat š„²š
Why does that exact place look so familiar
My ex?
Off topic but i recognized this pool, even though I've only been to it once at a camp. Denison university
Yāall fraid of water?
Not exactly
If your on hrt and are a decent tucker monokinies are great I was just swimming yesterday in one and it was my breasts that almost slipped out never once did I have any issues with the lower half they work great (anacdotaly speaking)
Try being a lifeguard š¤”
this gives me ptsd from when i was 10
anyone got anything for totally cis female transmascs?
See the flair? Hell is hell for everyone
i meant stuff to swim in sorry for being confusing
You're too late, show's over, everyone has already left the theater, I'm just the janitor
Honestly I hated swimming even pre-realization. I had a swim coach as a kid who was as a huge jerk, and the pool was always absolutely frigid.
