This chapter was going to be about how badly I wanted and needed a binder, but since then there's been a bit of an update. I got a binder! It's been pretty great actually. I got it after I got back from a trip I went on a few weeks ago. It did take a second to figure out how to get if off. The first time I couldn't really get it off (I managed in the end). From there on out I quickly figured it out, but there was a little learning curve that was stressful af. I was panicking a lot the first time I tried to take it off. I've worked out a schedule on what days I can wear it to work around days involving exercise and just so I don't wear it too much. I first adjusted my schedule so I'd have a couple of extra minutes to get it on without a time crunch as well, which required some toying around with so I didn't not get up in the morning to put it on. But now I can put it on and take it off pretty fast, so I don't set specific time aside anymore.
I also have gotten TransTape more recently. I've only used it a couple of times (I'm saving my money for top surgery when I'm older and my parents would barely buy it for me in the first place, so I'm not pushing it). So far, I'm not very good at applying it, so it's not doing much. I think that's more user error though.
In conclusion, binding is great. 10/10 definitely recommend (if you can and want to)
