Nicole Goh (SHE/HER)

"I’m Nicole Goh, and I’d like to share my personal journey with you. As someone who identifies as non-binary with a female body, there were moments when I felt disconnected from my true self—until I discovered a way to align my outer appearance with my inner identity.

For me, achieving a body shape that reflects my authentic self started with flattening my chest. When I discovered chest binders, it felt like finding a missing piece of the puzzle. Incorporating binders into my daily life became essential to expressing my identity.

But the journey wasn’t without its challenges. Time and time again, I was disappointed by binders made with low-quality materials that lacked durability and comfort. This frustration lit a fire within me, pushing me to create a solution not just for myself but for others like me.

That’s how TOMSCOUT was born—a store built on a passion for providing high-quality chest binders for those who long for comfort, durability, and a flatter chest. More importantly, TOMSCOUT is a space of unity, inclusion, and support for the LGBTQ+ community.”

"When faced with challenges like the ones I encountered, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Where do you start? Who can you trust?

At TOMSCOUT, we aim to be the answer, helping you on your journey to authenticity and pride."

We are proud to be a brand that the LGBTQ+ community can trust and rely on.

Our belief is simple: everyone deserves to feel like their true selves every day. With TOMSCOUT, authenticity and comfort are more than aspirations—they are promises we strive to fulfill.

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.

A Milestone Year!
