The Ultimate Transgender Clothing and Lingerie Guide (2025)
Every individual, regardless of their sexuality or gender, has the right to access quality, comfortable, and affordable clothing and lingerie.
As you all probably know, trying to find clothes that feel good and fit your body can be difficult. Heading into a typical clothing store can be a nightmare, with no style consistency and poor quality material that isn’t fit for purpose.
If you think finding well-fitting clothing and lingerie is difficult for the average person, imagine just how difficult it is for people in the transgender community. It can be incredibly challenging for a transgender person to find clothing that fits their body and makes them feel good.
At Gaff and Go, we think everyone deserves to feel confident, no matter the occasion. Whether you’re heading out for the day or stripping down to your delicates, you should never feel anything less than fierce.
We know it can be hard out there to find transgender clothing that looks and feels good, so keep reading for our guide to finding and choosing the perfect transgender apparel.
Finding the Perfect Transgender Lingerie
When it comes to finding lingerie, transgender people may often find it difficult. Unfortunately, we cannot just waltz into our local clothing store and snap up the first thong we can find.
This is because the standard lingerie that you can purchase doesn’t have transgender anatomy in mind, and there’s no guessing when stores are going to start making their lingerie and underwear sections more gender inclusive. Luckily, there are plenty of brilliant, inclusive brands out there offering a selection of beautiful and sexy lingerie for our transgender community.
How is Transgender Lingerie Different?
Though to the untrained eye, it may seem as though there is no difference between standard lingerie and transgender lingerie, this isn’t the case.
Transgender undergarments and lingerie are thoughtfully crafted to embrace and support the distinct needs of trans and non-binary individuals. These pieces prioritise comfort and celebrate identity, ensuring everyone feels confident and stylish in their own skin.
Transgender lingerie is designed with individuals who are undergoing or not yet undergoing medical transition, giving them the cover and comfort necessary for everyday wear.
At Gaff and Go, we offer a line of brilliant transgender lingerie with countless positive reviews. If you are not sure about the style options that are available for transgender individuals, we strongly suggest that you head over to our site and see what appeals to you.
Finding Your Size
If you are looking to purchase a bra or bralette that perfectly fits your body, your best friend will be a tape measure.
Knowing your sizes is a guaranteed way to ensure that you are purchasing form-fitting lingerie that fits perfectly. To find your bra size, grab your tape measure and measure the fullest part of your bust, ensuring that the tape is flat against your back. This will help you find your over-bust measurement.
To find your underbust measurement, you need to measure around your back, just underneath your bust. It is important to remember that there can be inconsistencies when purchasing your lingerie from a retail store, so knowing your measurements can help you find the right sizes… as will purchasing your lingerie from a reliable supplier.
Picking a Style to Accentuate Your Figure
As a trans person, it is likely that your anatomy is different to that of a cisgender woman. Trans women tend to have wider ribcages, which needs to be taken into account when purchasing your bra. If you are new to bra-wearing, it may be in your interest to get a larger band size to ensure comfort.
If you don’t get it right the first time, don’t panic. You can always exchange the bra, but bra extenders are available to help you adjust the fit if you don't want to worry about that. If you are not happy with the fit of the cup, you can also add breast pads to improve it.
Now that you know more about fitting lingerie to your body, let’s jump into some of the transgender lingerie available for you to wear;
Bras and Bralettes
Transgender bras and bralettes are crafted with trans and non-binary bodies in mind. A good bra and bralette will provide you with comfort and support without compromising on style.
If you are a transgender woman undergoing hormone therapy, you probably understand better than anyone just how unpredictable breast development can be. That’s why these bras and bralettes are designed with your unique journey in mind, offering the flexibility and comfort you need as your body changes. Embrace this transformative experience with confidence and style on your side.
If you do not want an extreme lift and your main focus is comfort and support, transgender bralettes may be better suited to your needs. Luckily for you, at Gaff and Go, we offer a range of bralettes and sports bras in unique styles.
Tucking Lingerie
For all you pre-op shes and theys, you are likely interested in tucking lingerie. This lingerie provides the support you need to create a smooth appearance while still providing the comfort you need to wear it all day long.
Tucking lingerie is brilliant for providing a sexy look while helping combat body dysmorphia, allowing you to experience the confidence you deserve without discomfort.
At Gaff and Go, our tucking lingerie is designed with comfort and support in mind, so if you are looking for transgender tucking lingerie that you can trust, check out our range.
Gaffs
Gaffs are compressive underwear that help flatten and hold your genitalia in place. If you have any connections in the drag industry, you will know that gaffs are commonly used to complement outfits and create a sleek, smooth appearance.
Gaffs are also commonly used by trans women and non-binary individuals looking to affirm their gender without risk.
Who said gender affirmation can’t be sexy? At Gaff and Go, we strongly believe that gender-affirming underwear should do more than keep everything in place; it should boost confidence and make you feel good.
That’s why we offer the following styles of gaffs:
We offer a range of comfortable and confidence-boosting gaffs in our underwear section, so be sure to check them out.
Picking the Right Binder
Now, we can’t forget our lovely non-binary and FTM followers. Chest binders are an invaluable accessory for any transgender or gender non-conforming individuals looking to ease their gender dysphoria and feel more confident in their bodies.
Wearing a well-fitted binder can be a game-changer for those who need it, offering a newfound confidence to express themselves through their fashion choices and truly feel at ease in their own skin.
These binders serve as an empowering tool, creating a supportive bridge for individuals who want to present differently and embrace their identities, feeling less tied to traditional femininity.
What Are Chest Binders?
Binders are articles of clothing used to compress the breast tissue and create a flatter appearance. Binders can come in a range of shapes and sizes and are specially designed to give those wearing them ample support without hindering their breathing.
Binders may also be recommended to people post-op to aid recovery and reduce swelling. Though they may just seem like a piece of clothing, binders can drastically decrease dysphoria and support mental health.
In the past, those who wanted to reduce the look of their breasts would use dangerous methods such as bandaging or duct taping, so we are happy that binders are growing in popularity.
The Types of Chest Binders
Now that you know more about the function of binders, let’s jump into the different types of binders you can find.
Short Length Binders
Short-length binders are designed to compress the area from the chest down to the midriff, offering a snug fit that helps create a flatter appearance. These binders are particularly popular among individuals who primarily experience dysphoria related to their chest.
The targeted compression can help enhance comfort and confidence for those seeking to minimise the visual prominence of their chest, making them a valuable transgender garment for many in the community.
Full-Length Binders
A full-length binder stretches over the stomach and hips, compressing those areas to create a much more masculine appearance. As you are likely aware, people born female at birth are more likely to have wider hips, which can make dysphoria much worse for those looking for a more masculine appearance.
Sizing Your Binder
Before you rush to buy your binder, you must determine its size. Many people make the mistake of getting binders in incredibly small sizes when they first experiment with them. There’s a misconception that getting a smaller size will result in a flatter chest, but that is not the case.
Purchasing a binder that is too small may cause physical discomfort and disrupt your breathing. No binder should cause difficulty breathing and if yours does, it’s a good indication that it is the wrong size.
Before purchasing any binder, cross reference your measurements with those disclosed by the manufacturer to ensure a safe fit.
Transgender Sports and Loungewear
When it comes to transgender apparel, many brands often overlook an important category: transgender-inclusive sports and loungewear. Even the most glamorous people need days when they can relax at home or head to the gym for a workout.
The typical workout clothes that you can find aren’t necessarily catered to the bodies of transgender individuals, especially when it comes to athletic leggings and tops. But don’t worry; there are still options out there to ensure that you feel secure and comfortable when working out.
Transgender Sports Bras
There is nothing worse than completing a high-intensity, sweaty workout without a layer of protection between your chest and your clothes. Workout clothes can also be incredibly tight, and if you’re trying to create a more feminine appearance, having some extra padding in place can help with that.
At Gaff and Go, we offer a selection of sports bras, from full coverage support to bikini-cut bras, perfect for hitting the pool or sauna.
Tucking Sports Briefs
Sometimes, regular tucking underwear isn’t suitable for high-intensity sports, especially when you're likely to sweat a lot. Tucking sports briefs are specifically designed to meet all your athletic needs. They feature absorbent technology that prevents leaks and sweat marks, ensuring you stay comfortable during your workout.
Not only do tucking sports briefs tackle sweat head-on, but they also feature a cutting-edge gusset and front panel designed to keep you feeling confident and fully supported during your workouts. With these briefs, you can focus on pushing your limits, knowing you've got the perfect blend of comfort and functionality by your side.
Being healthy should not come with anatomical conditions, and thanks to transgender sportswear, it doesn’t have to.
