any suggestions? I've been experimenting for about six months with ace wraps and bandages, but no matter how I use them it isn't really effective. they eventually slide down or roll up, push the breasts forward, cut into my back, make it hard to breathe... I've got big sores on my sides and permanent marks from the material. I've also tried just wearing a sport bra three sizes too small but that's not effective either. I can't really wear normal clothes, and even in baggy sweatshirts I normally just look like a girl with an unusually small chest. Are there any undershirts or even something designed specifically for transmen?
Underworks.com. Their Tritop is good. Don't use tape or ace bandages bro, it can fuck you up. Abdominal binders that you can find in the workout section of Kmart or something work ok too...depends how big you are.
Yea if you go on the ftm network site, im sorri i cant remember the address but itll come up if you google it, they have a list of links on there for binders. but yes, definately be careful binding with bandages and stuff, i was doing that and had to stop bcoz the burns n sores I was gettin were really bad. Plus it can heighten risks of gangrene and breast cancer. So please b careful amy x
I thought that must be an increased risk, breast cancer. my mum also said if you bind too tightly too often you can end up with pnuemonia. it's a bit all around.
The proper binding stuff is way better. Just make sure if you do find anything odd or you are in pain that you stop, the risks are just too high.
