Cake Bandit Swim Shorts - 4"

Relaxed fit, snap-close packing pouch, 4" inseam — the swim short that actually works.

The Cake Bandit Swim Shorts are packer-friendly swim bottoms built for trans masc, trans men, nonbinary, gender expansive, and gnc people who want a longer, more relaxed cut at the water. A 4" inseam and easy-fit silhouette give you full coverage without bulk — relaxed enough to move freely, structured enough to hold a packer in place through actual swimming.

The built-in mesh lining features a snap-closure packing pouch that holds a packer securely through swimming, cannonballs, and everything in between. Sized for smaller to mid-range packers — the #1 Trans Packer, Small Mr. Limpy, and the My Buddy 4" are all solid fits.

All Cake Bandit sits low-rise — these ride lower on the hips, not the natural waist. 90% polyester, 10% spandex woven blend: quick-drying, stretch-friendly, and built to hold up in chlorine and saltwater. Available in Black, Pink, Neon Green, and Dark Green.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size packer fits best in these shorts?
The snap-close pouch works best with smaller to mid-range packers — the #1 Trans Packer, Small Mr. Limpit, and My Buddy 4" are all great fits. For a larger packer, the Cake Bandit Swim Trunks with their buttoned pouch give a bit more room.

Can I wear these as regular shorts, not just for swimming?
Yes — several customers do. Worth noting: the polyester blend can run warm on hot days, so they're best for beach and pool use or cooler conditions.

Do these work with a binder or binding tape?
The Sports Bro Binder and TGS Binding Tape are both designed to handle light water exposure and pair well with these shorts for a full swim look.
