Here's a chapter about binders

TW: Skin , stomachs, mentions of body parts and my opinion on binders😮(idk if this is triggering or not, but y'know just in case)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1. Measure yourself

To make sure you get a binder that's not too big or too small you need to measure yourself.

Here's how you measure yourself:

And this is a size chart on what size binder you need:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Step 2. Order a binder

I ordered my first binder from gc2b bc its affordable ( by chest binder standards). All the binders on gc2b are all under 50$

But if you want something else there's other places to order from as well!

Example:

-Point of pride the binders are free, but there's a wait time, bc there's a lot of requests, and sadly not many people donating.

-DCATS.org this one's for the people living in the US. They give free binders to us ✨transgenders✨ who need binders but cant afford them.

-Wonababi pretty affordable (by binder standards of course) they have factories in China and New York and they ship world wide.

-Underworks also affordable and they have over 3 stars on all of their binders, so they must be pretty good

-F2Mbinders its works like Underworks, but they also offer binded swimsuits (swimsuits with built in binder).

-gc2b this is the one where I get my binders from and there affordable and they work well.

Those are some places that you can order new/used affordable binders!

Step 3. Put the binder on

How to put it on:

How to take it off:

My Opinion on Binders (this is just my opinion):

In my opinion binders work very well, but I prefer TransTape.

Binders work 8-10 hours a day, they are not waterproof and you cant exercise in them.

Compared to TransTape, which works the same as a binder, but lasts longer.

Yep, that's my reasoning on why I prefer tape over binders.
