The Inspiring Journey of TOMSCOUT Founder
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.
