Nicole Goh (SHE/HER)

"I am Nicole Goh, and I want to share a personal journey with you. As someone who identifies as non-binary with a female body, there have been times when I felt that I wasn't truly myself unless I could flatten my chest, aligning with my authentic identity.

This desire for a body shape that mirrors my inner self led me to the discovery of chest binders, which felt like a dream come true. Using a chest binder into my daily routine became essential.

However, I was often disappointed by the low-quality materials and the lack of durability and comfort that many binders offered. This disappointment ignited a passion within me, and I made a decision.

I decided to create TOMSCOUT, a store dedicated to providing higher-quality chest binders for people like me who longed for a flatter chest and to create a space that unites all LGBTQ+ people.”

When you encounter challenges like the ones I faced, you may find yourself on a seemingly endless quest for solutions. Where do you even begin? Who can you trust?


At TOMSCOUT,

We have become a brand that the LGBTQ+ community can rely on.

We believe that you should always feel like yourself. Let us embark on a journey where authenticity and comfort are not just aspirations but a reality.

Born with a Vision

We officially registered under Singapore ACRA, fueled by a deep passion for empowering LGBTQ+ businesses in Singapore.

Starting small, we began our journey by offering products through a local shopping platform, laying the foundation for a brand rooted in inclusivity and purpose.

 

2017

A Milestone Year!

We reached an exciting milestone—we launched our very own Shopify online store.

Going live in May, this step allowed us to expand our reach beyond Singapore, connecting with a wider audience and bringing our vision to life on a global scale.
