#TRANS PACKER PRICE FREE#
The Pay it Forward Program allows people to donate money to cover the cost price of items such as new binders, packers, and gaffs that are supplied free to people in Australia and New Zealand. Sock Drawer Heroes has established a Binder Donation Program, where people can donate their old chest binders to be redistributed to those in need. “In starting Sock Drawer Heroes, our goal was to make these gender expression products financially accessible, but we also recognised that some people in our community would still face financial barriers,” said Erin.
The store now stocks everything from binders and packers to dilators and lingerie for trans bodies, as well as a small selection of queer and trans sex toys. A Sydney couple’s small business is helping trans and gender diverse people access essential products such as binders, packers, and tucking gaffs at no cost.Įrin and Bec launched Sock Drawer Heroes part-time from their apartment in 2018, and the business has grown to supply a range of gender expression products to people around the world.Įrin said the pair started the business to help make such items more accessible to people in Australia and New Zealand, who otherwise must often order them from overseas at great expense.
