All about Binders

Binders are to help you look male by compressing your chest

But Binders have rules, before you say

"Oh its fine if I have trouble breathing"

The reason some of these rules exist isn't just because it would harm you. I dont really care about your mindset.

It's not about being able to breath but if you don't follow the rules of binding, top surgery will be extremely hard or impossible.

Here are the rules
-Don't wear more than 8 hours
-Don't use tape, even "binder tape" it's dangerous
-Bind with chest facing outwards NOT downwards
-Don't bind wet (not dangerous, just not effective and it's hard to do)
-Never double bind

There are different types of binding options

One is using a traditional Binders

Another way to bind... is tape

DO NOT USE TAPE TO BIND, EVEN FROM PLACES LIKE ACE
