It’s finally happening! We are just beginning production of our newly improved range of sensory friendly, size inclusive chest binders. Pre-orders are now available on our store, which will be sent out as soon as we have our stock ready. We’re hoping to start sending binders out to their new owners in early January. 💕 
Things never seem to go exactly as planned, and the switch to our new manufacturer has been a mammoth project. However, I have been determined to make this happen by Australian summer, come rain, hail, or lockdown. 
I am honestly so proud, and so relieved that I’ve managed to achieve this, despite all the barriers I’ve faced these past six months. I can’t wait to see and hear about all the gender euphoria from you all when you start receiving your new Amor Binders from us 💜 Thanks so much @will_o_the_worm for posing for this sweet pic 💕

6/10 I should really be kinder to Australian films, especially indie, queer Australian films, but, if the firsat word you thought of when you hear; “Australian coming-of-age queer indie” is “bleak” then you are correct. Why, WHY is Australian cinema so incredibly depressing?  Miles Szanto as Mik performs well, brooding and nuanced, troubled and very generous, but ultimately he is not enough to carry us from one tragedy to the next. There’s a death, there’s a hint at incest (deus ex machina-ed later, sort of) and there’s struggling with sexuality, drug abuse and lots of sex scenes.  The way this film portrays sexual fluidity / bisexuality is interesting, if not verging on the fetishistic, and we see a lot of skin throughout, but at some point I checked out. I asked myself “why” am I watching this? It felt like a very naive, very youthful media student project. There is just something not believable about these performances, it’s all very drama school.  I was kind of repulsed by the best friend r*pe scene at the end. It just felt like piling on trauma and shock value and hardly any of it feels believable.  Also, I’m Australian and I do not believe that every single Australian has a special connection to the sea and surfing. I have never been surfing in my life, why is everyone a surfer with a spiritual connection to the waves in Aussie cinema? Ridiculous. Ian Roberts makes a cameo as a dead-beat dad ( ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )  The soundtrack was.... interesting, with low-synth, mechanical, sweeping humms giving way to some cringe pop-rock, saccharine garbage at the end.  It’s a mess and it’s trying too hard to be edgy and grungy. It’s not even that sexy. Give it a watch, but I didn’t tell you to. I need to reset and stop writing negative reviews, I genuinely like cinema.  Ugh, sorry.  Wiki Kicks.

A world first! Amor Binders Full Chest Racerback is proudly the first ever and only chest binder specially designed for people with large chests. 💕 Not only does it fit better on people with a fuller chest, it is also super comfortable! Here is what Elliot has to say about their new Full Chest Racerback binder: “I seriously cannot stress enough how comfortable the binder is, I wore it to work last Thursday and Friday without any issue, and it was so nice to not have my E knockers in the way as I'm trying to mop and vacuum. I've been wanting a binder for ages, but I'm so glad to have waited to get one from Andy, as they've put in so much effort to make sure the fit on all sizes is right, it's manufactured in Australia, and the material is so soft and comfy.” This Full Chest Racerback binder has more coverage than our other binders, with a little bit of shaping to help it fit more comfortably, and an elastic band to hold everything in place. No more worrying about falling out the bottom of your binder! This binder is also fully reversible, so it can be worn with the binding panel on the outside, for folks who have sensory sensitivities. Amor Binders are all size inclusive, and designed by an autistic trans person with your comfort in mind. Thanks so much @elliot_smsn for being such a fantastic model in your new Amor Binder 💘 💜Andy💜 ~ founder of @amor_binders

We are open! It’s official! Amor Binders has launched our online store! We are taking pre-orders, which we will send out as soon as we have our stock ready. We’re hoping to have all our binders going out to their new owners in July. 💕

Feeling electric?! This bright and bold electric blue coloured Reversible Racerback is going to be available in 11 sizes when we launch our online store. That’s the largest size range of any binder brand. Are you excited? I am! This binder is reversible, so those who have extra sensitive sensory needs can flip it around and wear the binding panel on the outside. It looks just as amazing reversed! Comfort can be a barrier to gender affirming clothing for a lot of people, particularly neurodivergent folk and people with sensory processing difficulties, but it shouldn’t be. That’s why I have worked so tirelessly to design the comfiest binders ever. Amor Binders are all designed by myself, an actual autistic trans person, and are tested out on as many people as possible to ensure that they’re the comfiest and most sensory-friendly binders in existence. 💜 All our binders are made from sustainable materials too! So you can feel good in your body AND feel good that you’ve made a choice that’s better for the environment! For more info check out my FAQs!
