Summer Collection
L’Asterisk is thrilled to introduce a small initiative of free gender-neutral swimwear, available for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth aged 14-35. This initiative was created to address the unique challenges that many trans and queer individuals face when it comes to swimwear. Often, the options available are either limited or prohibitively expensive, and many people feel uncomfortable wearing the styles typically offered within their price range.
Our summer launch offers a solution, ensuring that queer and trans individuals can find swimwear they feel comfortable and confident in, whether they're heading to the pool, beach, on vacation, or incorporating it into their everyday outfits.

Tucking Bikini Bottoms: Created to provide a secure and comfortable fit, these bottoms offer a discreet solution for those who need it.

Inclusive and Comfortable for Everyone
Trans-Friendly: Every piece that was selected is designed with the trans community and 2SLGBTQIA + in mind, offering options that cater to a variety of needs and preferences.
