ok from reading a bit you guys overblew it and overbinding whilst making it so some types of top surgery that require more elasticity the two examples i saw being peri and keyhole which is because they both need skin elasticity which overbinding can reduce skin elasticity overtime they also both require smaller cups which means that would probably be out the window for me anyways while yes over use of a binder over long periods of time can lead to damaging ribs and lungs it should only effect your options for types of top surgery you will still be able to get top surgery it just may not be the type you could've gotten had you not overbinded for however long you had this habit

NOW MOOTS DONT TRY AND GIVE ME A PANIC ATTACK RIGHT WHEN I WAKE UP AGAIN ALR!?!?!??!??!

to tumblr’s trans people: I’m getting my first binder soon but I don’t know what brand to use. Which is your favorite? (I’m looking for something with a lot of compression)

If you’re cis and this shows up on your blog, PLEASE REBLOG FOR A BIGGER SAMPLE SIZE!

edit: I can’t change the poll, but after some research, it seems that gc2b’s binders are incredibly unsafe. Just want to put this here in case another trans guy is looking at this poll. Underworks seems to be the best option as far as I’ve seen from other people.

HOW TO CLEAN A BINDER 101

For beginners!

Washing binders is really important. For me personally, I do it about once every two weeks. However, learning how to do this correctly important, otherwise you run the risk of shrinking your binder. Hand washing your binder is important, because using a washing machine shrinks it and makes it unwearable.

- Run lukewarm water in a large container (bath, sink, bucket, etc). Don't fill it all the way to the top, keep it thin but deep enough to sink the binder in.

- Gently swirl in some gently washing detergent. I usually an 18-in-one washing liquid, but any liquid or shower gel will do! Use something preferably gentle, and use about two to three drops,

- Turn the binder inside out, and gently submerge it in water. Swirl it around gently for two minutes, focussing on the areas around the armpits and the front where the sweat reaches the most.

- Leave in the water for half an hour to two hours

- Once you deem it ready (or when you remember it for me), drain the liquid and wash off the soap with cold water. Leave to air-dry overnight, I usually use a clothes hanger and put it on my door and that works.

Always wash safely and by hand! All of these tips can be adjusted if you need to do it privately or without your parents finding out.

Doing things shirtless when using trans tape>>

Hey fellow tboys who bind:

I got a binder off amazon (yes it sucks but it's the only online place my mom will tolerate me getting things from) that had a lot of good reviews from real people of many body types who ordered many different sizes but. For some reason it did not bind me like it was supposed to?? I even ordered a second in a smaller size (which I could barely even squeeze on) and it had the same result as the first one. For reference:

I even tried repositioning my boobs inside the binder to see if it helped but it didn't.

The company was LGBT unicorns.

So am i doing it wrong, are my tits just too big to bind or is the company bad quality??

How to bind safety in hot weather!

advice from your queer dad

- drink lots of water! I don't wanna see any of you suckers dehydrated, especially if you bind!!

- if you feel any stabbing or aching pain, take a break and take it off

- as well as this, if you feel too hot or short of breath, take a break and take it off

- bathroom stalls are great for binder breaks because it's private

- wash your binders!! Please!!! It can cause real skin problems, for some advice on washing it go here

- try and wear outfits that will keep you cool, yes I know dysphoria sucks but you know what sucks worse than dysphoria? Heat stroke

- don't wear it for more than 8 hours. Don't do it.

- personally, I've found that a darker coloured binder (black, navy) is better because if you through a button up on top, bam! It just looks like a tank top

- stretches! God, stretches help so much- there's a lot out of there, do some research and see what helps you

Stay cool and have fun kids! Remember hydrate don't diedrate. Take care of yourselves.

Do any plus sized folks have any tips for how to use trans tape? I have DD (maybe bigger) and I just tried using it for the first time, got frustrated almost instantly (while following one of the official TT videos meant for bigger chests), and am now double binding trying not to break down.

Any tips would be seriously so appreciated, I just want to be able to wear 90% of my clothes on a bad dysphoria day without my chest hurting or having trouble breathing or whatever else
