Help us provide an option for the nonbinary and transmasculine community in terms of swimtops. Everyone should have the option to go shirtless if they want to and everyone should be able to do it comfortably and confidently. Some people are cool with wearing a bikini top, tight compression sports bra, or a baggy tshirt – but what if you aren’t? What if you want to get a tan and wear something that’s more “masculine” or gender neutral? What if you want to be able to just feel shirtless? Our Bareskin Top is our solution to this problem. Offered in a variety of skin tones and in a more comfortable cut than other binders on the market, the Bareskin Top allows you to wear something that is less visually triggering than anything else out there and allows you to get a tan while also spending time in the water.
We need your help to make it a reality though! Our kickstarter is live until December 19, 2015 and with your help donating and spreading the word, we can have these bad boys available by next summer if we meet our fundraising goal.
Don’t you think everybody deserves to feel comfortable in their bare skin?
Donate, signal boost, spread the word, & support your community! If every person who reblogged this donated just $5 we would reach our goal in no time!
Special thanks to Yoomi Park for shooting our video and for Kayla, Chris, Rookie and Courtney for drinking beer at 11am to make this happen.
WAIT WAIT WAIT CAN I REMIND YOU ALL that this is going to help trans/non binary people with dysphoria during sex too?? Like we haven’t even mentioned that part about the bareskin top, but that’s going to be one of the biggest reasons I plan on buying one!! The last thing I need during an intimate session with my partner is my fucking dysphoria ruining it for both of us, and who doesn’t want to have the most skin on skin action going on? I know that if I see my chest out of my peripherals during sex, it will trigger dysphoria and I will fall out of the mood. Dude, this thing will eliminate so much of that!! I don’t want to have to wear a shirt every time, and once this is released, I won’t have to. Yet ANOTHER reason why this is such a good idea. Please share, donate, help get this project off the ground. Chris and Courtney just want to help the world, so let’s help make that happen.
I’m the same way and let me tell you– wearing the prototype when I’m having sex is so much less triggering than any other top because seeing something on me is triggering out of my peripherals. Yea my other binder makes me flat and it feels great but when I see the grey fabric Out of the corner of my eye it reminds me of a part of my body I don’t like and I’m instantly turned off.
Same goes for when I wear it to lift weights at the gym. I hate sleeves and when you see this under my cutoff people don’t even glance twice at me whereas I feel self conscious if you can spy my black sports bra under my shirt.
The whole skin tone thing was such a simple solution to the visual trigger problem a lot of us have that causes us Dysphoria!
