hello, as I live in Australia and it DOES get very hot during summer, I was wondering if it's ok to wear a binder in the water. If not, what are some alternatives?
I've seen some swimming specific binders. I think Outplay has some and does underworks have those (can't remember)? Chlorine will eventually ruin a binder apparently so some people have a binder for swimming and one for normal use. I have no experience with binders yet so this is all things I found on the Internet.
The water will make a normal binder really, really tight and the chlorine will ruin it. There are swim binders that I'll link below, but I'd recommend wearing a rash guard or swim shirt over it because they're not completely flattening.
