my cousin used to bind like 24 hours a day and always slept in his binder and now he has rib damage. please take care of yourself loves
Ouch! 😣
Is that Misa Amane as your profile photo?
Only 11 hrs a day and night noo
Hey um.. i have a binder and i can't even remember how or why but i slept with it for more than 24hours. Now my breast hurts. My anxiety is making me think that i have breast cancer cuz it's been hurting for days now.. what should i do? I'm 12 years old btw.
@@iebdjshcx you should wear your binder for only 8hrs max(i think, you can google)and take a lot of rest. hopefully that will remove your pain.
Never fall asleep in a binder. DON'T
Heha NO. Yah don’t do that
Y
;_;
Cause I just did
@@flammibuttz9716 You just need to give your body a break, since binding for too long can seriously harm you. I don't think it'll do much if you do it once or twice, but it's a good idea to avoid binding while sleeping or over long periods of time. Good luck! ^^
Remember,binding is for everyone not only for trans/non-binary people.Cis girls can use a binder too,just remember to stay healthy💪
Lol, i'm gender neutral/ non binary and I want to get these.
Xnii_ Chan omg my friend ordered me one and it’s coming TODAY. my birthday is coming up, and i’ve always wanted one
potato people I’m so happy for you 😄
@@noghoulsintoronto that's awesome :) !
@@deez3000 What does that mean?
I'm not trans but i'm so uncomfortable with my chest since its pretty big and i also really like to look kinda boyish and having that damn chest just doesn't fit. But i also cant buy a Binder cuz i cant order things online by myself, i would have to ask my mom and she would never let me do that..
NChaHakyeon N if you want one thing to convince your parents to buy something for you (if they let you use their card by yourself) is to just say it's a shirt or compression sports bra. My excuse was for cosplay reasons (I'm going to a con soon) or simply just say it's a type of undergarment. I hope this helps!!
@@sunflowrshowrs Thank you i think this could work :D
try getting a visa gift card (:
NChaHakyeon N I have the same issue as well. I am a fairly tiny person but I have such a big chest that it’s all anyone sees when I walk into the room, it feels like. I tried to apply to get a loan for a reduction surgery but I didn’t get approved so I am looking into binders, hoping they can help me find love for myself again. Best of luck to you!
I'm in he same boat as you ):
i semi-came out to my mom
she said she'll look online on amazon for binders
im so glad that she's so understanding and supporting,
yes we had our ups and downs,
but in the end we still have a connection and bond, and that we're a good family.
i'm moving to a new place + new school, and things have been stressful lately
so telling my mom that i would like a binder and that i was non-binary and/or genderfluid ((i'm still figuring it out)) made me feel really open and free
Please don't buy a binder from Amazon, there are a lot of them that are unsafe and might damage your breast tissue/ribs, what i would recommend is saving some money and then buying a chest binder from GC2B or UnderWorks, just please don't buy from Amazon, i can even send you some links to a few sites that sell chest binders
Trico Animates
well
uh
too late??
i'm wearing one right now, and they're pretty good quality
@@xenanimates3188 there are underworks binders on amazon btw
@@yourmom596 I'm glad that you didn't get hurt
@@xenanimates3188 I have a Amazon clasp binder and I’m doing fine, I feel like it’s sorta insensitive to tell people they’re really bad and sorta over dramatic to say all that. Not everyone can afford hella expensive ones.
I just got my first binder! I’m going to wear it Monday to school and I’m kinda scared ...
How'd it go Max?
ice_ e It was great, I felt more comfortable and confident
Sammmeee
YAY! I'm so happy for you! I can't wear a chest-binder right now because of my mom's medical insurance, so I'm always happy to hear about when other people get to wear one! (It's because her medical insurance doesn't allow things like a gender specialist, so she can't ask the medical questions she wants to ask.)
Hey my names max too (I need to fix my profile lol) and I’m getting my binder soon I just hope it fits
How good it feels to take your bra off at the end of the day...? Nope! Love my bras! For me, chest binding is great if I plan to move... like at all.... nice to know about the time though ^.^
Why do they look like they're gonna cry
it is just the way some people talk
Maybe since their going through puberty their voice is changing so it gets deeper
@@mikechristensen74 I don’t think they use the pronouns she/her. I could be wrong.
@@l-3832 oh I’m sorry I’ll change it to they
@@mikechristensen74 ok it’s cool 👍 everyone makes mistakes :)
I have told my mom about binding but she says she doesn't get the point of it and it will just cut off my blood circulation even if I just wear for 8 hours. I don't think I'll ever convince her.... ;-;
i mean, the only way to own a binder is if you lied. For a tank binder, you can just say it’s a tank top and half binder is just a normal bra but used for sports. It really depends on how clueless your parents are, my tip is to just never mention what a binder is to them because there’s a 99% chance that they will say no. You can always just buy a visa gift card and buy the binder without asking your mom to buy it for you.
I've known people that have borrowed binders from friends! Hope you eventually can bind!
@@dad9701 lying to parents (the people who love you most) sounds like bad advice. What are you thinking?
My mom says that causes cancer. ;_;
My binders gonna be here soooonnnnnn within a week and idc how uncomfortable it is anything will help my dysphoria
I agree
I’m so uncomfortable if I’m even wearing a regular bra to where I usually put on a bra, 3 tank tops, a shirt, and a hoodie
If you are uncomfortable in a regular bra, maybe you feel more comfortable in a sports bra (try different ones, some are designed to both support and help keep the shape of the boobs), maybe you have tried this already but if you haven't you should. Easier to get ahold of, and you can wear them on the days you don't bind (when/if you get a binder).
scouttyra
No, not uncomfortable in that way, I get so uncomfortable if my chest isn’t completely flat, so I bind my chest until I’m comfortable
What I meant is that many sports bras do give you a flatter chest, although I understand that you might have misunderstood what I originally wrote.
dreamcell Sports bra, 2 tank tops, loose shirt and jacket. My chest isn’t actually that big but I hate everything about it and just want to have a completely flat chest.
@@literallynothing1520 Same! And my family always asks why I wear so many shirts 😂
**when you accidentally fell asleep in your binder** 👁️👄👁️
Something I’d recommend doing is easing into your binder and not just wearing it for 8 hours on the first time- when I first got my binder I only did an hour every day for the first week then added another hour weekly. It also helps if you take at least one or two day breaks from your binder especially since you also need to wash it as well. These are just some helpful tips I’ve learned while researching/owning a binder
She sounds like she is about to cry...
Sara Eugenia remember it's they not "she".
Sara Eugenia i guess i just their voice ?
*****THEY
I dont know their pronouns but I'm pretty sure they're not she/her
When all the replies are about their pronouns. Calm tf down maybe this person just didn't realize Jesus.
Tbh i thought this was gonna be like a "oMg tRaNs pEoPlE sEcReTs uNmAsKeD" kind of video, glad they aren't that kind of person tho
I am a girl and I was made fun of because of my Brest and I’m not transgender but it made me feel better about my self.
gigi aww thx
Alot of feminine people bind because they have a large chest. You don't have to be trans to do it. If it makes you feel comfortable than you do you 😘
me too! but i also don’t really like my chest. so i have money for a binder i just don’t know how to ask my mom. i might have a binder soon!
So for all my fellow trans ppl who wanna bind but cant get a binder (because they cant order it to their home, dont have organizations in their countries etc.) : take a pair of old tights, crop the legs so that theyre as short as a Shirts sleeves, cut a big hole in the crotch part and then put on a sports bra. Fit your head through it and If youre wearing it, put a slighty bigger tshirt or hoodie on so that it looks even more natural and remember to take everything off overnight and after 4-6 hours (theyre not official binders, so be extra careful). After wearing it, make sure to stretch your arms, back and shoulders and if that method turns out to be dangerous (although I've heard from various sources that its a pretty good alternative) I'll immediately take the comment down.
I made a binder out of a pillow case and I laced it tight. I saw a video saying it was safe, but my friend was yelling at me about it.
I'm still wearing it
Same
Please don't do that, you can mess up your body seriously. You can cause lung damage or rib damage or you might deform your breast tissue to a point where you won't be able to get top surgery cause the surgeon will refuse to operate on your messed up chest, or if you do get top surgery one day, your results might be worse. I beg you, please don't destroy your body and your future like that. If you really need to bind and really can't buy a binder, there are places where you can get a free binder, or if you can't because of parents or sth, wear compression sports bras or wear two sports bras, one of them backwards. The first method can be surprisingly effective and has very little health risks, while I would still be very careful about the second, but it's one of the few binding methods without a binder that isn't highly unsafe.
There are people that have horribly injured themselves with diy binders. Please don't wear those.
So the problem with that is while a binder binds with compression and moves with you as you breath, pillowcases, which are usually made with linen or cotton don't do that. I think you should listen to your friend.
Wait kovu's video?
I took an hold pair of spandex I used to wear, cut the middle part out, and used the rest of it as a binder. It actually works well but it hurts sometimes... but I take it off everyday after school if I can.
I mean that was 2 years ago but please get a real one otherwise it's unsafe... Even real ones can be unsafe
Does anyone know if dicks sporting goods have binders/ compression bras
I looked it up and it seems like they do but I don’t know
Does anyone know where to get a free one?
I’m a cis girl and my mom won’t let me have a binder
Please help?
Sadly u can't get a free one if you are cis :[ the free ones are for Trans or non-binary people. I am (currently) also cis girl
How often do you need to get a new binder? what temperature water should you wash your binder with? My binder has gotten really loses really quickly and isn’t giving me the results it used to, is there a way to combat this? How do you get pit stains out? Does fabric softener effect the efficiency of the binder? Does not washing my binder as much as recommended effect the efficiency?
Can I bind my chest to Make my over sized breast smaller not flat
lovie 2 Cook Yes you can! I recommend GC2B. Just go a size up
Most people with larger chest will still have a bit of a curve in their chest even after binding. So yes I would recommend a GC2B binder as well. They are on the cheaper side and very comfortable in my opinion. They also come in fun colors or nudes depending on what you're into 😺
I used to always want a binder until I actually got one. I cried, I cried because It did nothing. I tried a tighter one but I couldn't breathe. So now I'm sad everyday and there's nothing I can do until I turn 18 and get surgery.
I'm a cis and my mom thinks I'm crazy for wanting one. I don't think she will get me out. And when i think about not being able to get one I tear up and it makes me sad, I feel uncomfortable around other people when I have a bra on and even when I'm walking around the house without one on I am female I just don't like the thought of a large chest, and I would pay for it myself but my parents don't let me spend my own money. I'm just really sad that I can't be able to make my body how I like it, I'm NOT trans. IM FEMALE.. I just wish someone could get me one., but probably will never happen.. Watching this video made me cry because I will probably never get one anyway. 💔💔😭
Same but I didn't tell my mom because she would kill me ;-;
@@Rrougenoir yup
Can someone please let me know where I can get a free one!??
Hahaha I wish

Google search “binder donations”
Theres some out there and it’s really cool, you can both donate a binder or/and get one for free
Search you tube for binder giveaways. Alot of channels run by trans and nb people host frequent ones to give back to the community. Also there are alot of websites that give away second hand binders too. A quick google search can help
I need to come out to my parents before getting a binder. I am SO nervous to come out to her, and if I do get a surgery, to come out to anyone else. I really hope that my mom is accepting, and I am pretty sure she will take it well.
A week ago I was so desperate so I started visualizing and saying out loud “ do you want to buy a binder “ in my moms voice. Literally ( I’m serous) three days later my mom asked me some questions and sent me a link to gender nuteral swim suits and asked if I wanted anything. Later that day I ordered a binder and it’s in the mail!
The demi girls appreciate this🙏
What are the sites that have free binders? I kinda want to sign up for it while using my friend's address because she has supportive parents. When she came out as bi, they treated her the same way as they did before.
I just binded for the first time today
Honestly I feel like if I got top surgery I would be most excited to wear tank tops
*laughs in can fall asleep in binder because it technically counts as a compression vest used for neurodivergent people*
RIP organs
Here I am just being a cosplayer and cosplaying males. I don’t really have a big chest anyway so I’m thinking that it won’t be quite as much stress and pressure ok my body?
I've never slept in my binder. I never will. Please don't.
*is wearing 3 sports bras and 2 bandages rn*
*chuckles* i’m in trouble
Don't do that! Ace bandages are bad for your skin, and wearing more than 2 sports bras is also not good. Only wear 2.
I really want a chest binder but I can't get one because my family doesn’t support anyone in the LGBTQ+ community. Instead I just wear oversized hoodies :/
I just bought my first good binder. I’ve been using a cheap amazon binder for a long while and my chest has had a slight pain when breathing in even when my binder is off. It’s not horrible but I was wondering if this is a sign that I should stop binding for a while or if this is normal and I’ll be okay to bind.
I'm not expert and I've never done binding but based on what you said I would stop binding for a while
I know I'm 7 months late I'm sorry
I got stuck in my first pullover binder haha
I’m a 12 year old and I’m a ‘girl’ but recently puberty has kicked in and I’ve started growing and I HATE it. I hate everything about them and even tho there barely visible I know there gonna grow and i just don’t want them. I also don’t really feel like fully female. I like to wear skirts but I don’t think clothes have to do anything with gender. I don’t really wanna be any gender tbh. I just wanna be me
Late but I'm a demigirl if it helps.
Meaning I partially identify as a female but not fully and partially feel nb. I'm in between them both. Not fully on either side.
I bind with a pair of cut up tights. Idk if its healthy
@olibar oof thanks
Same I bind with tights too
Same, idk if it’s unhealthy to layer them though, which I do😬
I got myself a binder for the first time and it does make my chest look smaller but so far it hasn't restricted my breathing or anything. Then again I have only been wearing it for an hour. Plz help
(I wore multiple things for hours upon hours I don’t own a binder cause I’m not out yet and I’m non-binary) I binded very unsafely and ended up very badly injuring my ribs (very recent) I would wear it to bed I even would wear it 24+ hours and I’m constantly in pain whenever I move BIND SAFELY
i’m not trans but i just really want a more masc chest.
So i’m sitting here watching this and my dad right next to me. i’m uncomfortable.

I always struggle to bind because I have asthma. Any tips?
if you havent already, get a gc2b binder. to me its like binding without feeling like youre binding. but if your binder is stopping you from being able to breathe, youre either not binding correctly or youve got a size too small
Get a size up it still binds good. And if you don't use GC2B already, do so because those are easier to breathe in.
I got a binder from my friend and it’s too big... I want to shrink it but drying it will destroy it and I can’t sew
Why is all my recommend full of stuff about chest binding .-.
Ember Da Wolf it’s a sign
TH-cam knows.
When i bind at school i always bring a sports bra so if i need to i can changde in the bathroom
I want to bind cause, I don't have a small chest. For my age I have a very large chest, abnormally large? I feel like people look at my chest and not at me. I am a person, look at me. Not the size of my chest..
I sleep and never take off my sport bra💀👌
Is it bad to bind with ace bandages? If it is what are the possible side affects so I can weigh the pros and cons. Thank you to any people who respond
It's VERY bad. I don't know if you've ever used ace on a sprained ankle or something but it basically gets tighter as you move in order to keep an injury stable. If you bind with ace it will get tighter and tighter around your rib cage and eventually break a rib (which could puncture a lung).
Please don't bind with ace, duct tape, anything really that isn't a real binder.
Trust me, any dysphoria you have is insanely preferable to that.
If you can't afford one then there are always giveaways on Tumblr or places that sell binders (www.shapeshifters.co has one on right now :) ) and help schemes which can provide new or lightly used binders.
If it's a matter of secrecy, I'd go with shipping it to a trusted friend's house or the whole 2 sports bras (but be really careful with that.)
There are no pros and cons here. Just please don't.
I hope I've helped. 🤗
@@code_blue5060 Thank you you have helped. It doesn't look like I'll be binding anytime soon. Thank you again, you are a good human
@@midnightpineapple9722 :) I know it's hard but the harm that can come off unsafe binding just isn't worth it
Thank You for listening (or, well, reading) that can be difficult
Good luck with any future attempts to ban the boobies, yeet the teets and confine the chest
@@code_blue5060 lol no prob thanks for warning me
I’m alright being a girl but normally I wear huge t shirts because I get so much attention from having a larger chest. I remember thinking about getting a chest binder but then I realized that wouldn’t be the best for my body because I’m pretty weak as of now from not eating much.
But even when I get slightly healthier or just get healthy I’ll still just go to t shirts just because I know my body may not be able to handle a binder and I can ignore everyone
You could always wear a sports bra instead of a binder?
Ruby Inferno for some weird reason I still can’t really handle sports bras because all of them aren’t really comfortable 😅(or at least what I got)
Hi, i am a pre-everything transman and i do really want a binder to fell more comfortable but my mom is afraid of giving me one because i have asthma, i have tried to look foe information but i found nothing, is it safe to wear a binder with asthma? Sorry for my english jeje i'm still learning.
I would recommend getting tape to bind. Not bandages or anything but transtape. It binds pretty much the same but you are able to breathe in it normally. It works better on smaller chests tho, but i use it too (Double D cup size) and it works just fine. A binder from gc2b in the right size is safe to wear, but only wear it up to 5 hours, and make sure to take it off when you're extremely uncomfortable/ can't really breathe like usual. Also make sure to stretch about every hour, and don't exercise in it. Ever (nobody should do that).
@@sandcat2327 thank you so much 😊😊😊😊
I just wanna cosplay though....
My binder makes me uncomfortable and more dysmorphic. My chesticles are two way different sizes, so you can see how that’s a problem and guessing what I also have big chesticles ahhh I wanna scream. I did like the way it looks but it was only one good thing and I don’t wear it anymore. But I do get uncomfortable at the thought of my chesticles hanging and people can see them. So I’m looking into trans tape. I don’t like when my chesticles touch together or touch my skin and that’s something that my binder did constantly. 🥲
I hope ur doing okay beans. have you found a better solution since u wrote ur comment?
@@kitteny27 yes I believe so
At the moment I don’t have a binder. I can’t afford one for another few weeks so in the last 3 months, I’ve used 3 sports bras. Bottom one normal, middle one backwards and top one normal. I should get a binder before Christmas
Check out giveaways, shapeshifters (a binder company) have giveaways fairly regularly.
highly appreciated, anyway; thankyou
just subscirbed, hope get your reply
I guess I use a sort of binder. Tiny sport bra on 32g cup size. But actually more comfortable than bra
hi, i have question about binder because i have one breathing is ok but when i first put on very nice i look flat, but a few hours later the effects of the binder disappear it’s very uncomfortable is all binders like that or just this one i buy
It depends on the binder but some do that. Washing it should make it tight again. Only wear it up to 8 hours, no more and never when sleeping or exercising. Stay safe!
Where can I get a free binder because like I've been unsafe binding for a for a little bit and I don't want to mess up anything so if y'all know where to get a free binder could you tell me because my parents won't buy me one and I can't pay for one
Point of pride you can get free binders I suggest you check out there website I personally haven’t got a chest binder from there but i hear a lot of people have had really good experiences 💛✌️
@@thatdepressedqueer8985 I just found it the other day I'm actually on the waiting list

Hey um.. i have a binder and i can't even remember how or why but i slept with it for more than 24hours. Now my breast hurts. My anxiety is making me think that i have breast cancer cuz it's been hurting for days now.. what should i do? Will the pain go away? I'm 12 years old btw.

one day I slept by my girlfriend and forgot to take my binder off and on the 2nd day halfway through, I felt like my binder was about to pull a springtrap on my chest ;-;
I fall asleep at school and outside a lot and I want to bind (I’m transgender ftm) is it ok ?
DO NOT sleep in a binder. It's not safe, you won't be able to breathe. Only wear the binder when you're going to stay awake.
I really need a binder but I can’t find it in my country
What if my family can't know..I made my own watching a video and its comfy and I'm hoping to get a binder as I started binding last night and woo I love it :> Pray I can find a good binder
I would recommennd a binder from gc2b or underworks. You could send the binder to a friend who supports you and has supportive parents annd if you dont have the money you could ask your friend to help you out or you could try to get a free binder. If you cant do that you could try to wear 3 sports bras ontop of eachother and it could work aswell and its safe. Making your own binder is really dangerous and getting a good binder is worth it for the future. Wish you luck!
@@jenga2263 thanl you ^^
@@mangocreations7888 np np hope you can find the right binder for yourself
@@jenga2263 i know the size and the one I want but i feel bad to ask my friend to buy it for me
Dw about it I’m sure your friend will understand and idk as long as you pay them back. When I got my first binder I came out to a friend and he helped me pay for the binder and get the binder and then I payed everything back as soon as possible.
does anyone have the links as to where someone could get a free binder? i’m looking for one. i’m 14 yrs old, and my parents don’t support me coming out as FTM at all. i would love to get a binder secretly without their knowing, just so i can help get rid of the dysphoria, but i have no options concerning money. again, does anyone have the links? you can message me over youtube if possible. thank you :)
Search for binder giveaways and binder donations. Shapeshifters (a binder company) have giveaways fairly regularly.
thank you so much :)
I really didnt know these dangers I'm starting to transition. I'm going to just wear baggy clothing till I can afford a surgery.
How do I ease into a gc2b for the first time
I tried every way to get a binder but my friends can't get me any because their not allowed to buy anything same with me, plus my parents are in charge of the mail, and I have no material to make a binder and the only thing I can use is tape. How do I get a binder? I don't want to break my rips or mess up me getting top surgery in the future, I even tried subliminals and that doesn't work, and I can't stand having my chest pls I'm desperate I don't know
hey, you still need help? i think it would help if you tried binding with kt tape (no, for all the concerned, not duct tape and it's not going all around your torso). it doesn't bind nearly as good as binders if you have a big chest, but it helps in masculinizing it and actually with the right techniqe will make you pretty flat if you're A or B cup. search up "kt tape binding tutorial", you'll find safe ways to bind with tape, and you can get it in any walmart or similar store for relatively small amount of money. tho i hope you were able to get a binder after all
I heard you shouldn’t wear a binder while doing sports but I do a lot of sports so I don’t know how that would work out ;-; any tips?
It's generally bad to have compression like that when you're having to move a lit and breathe deeply. The issue is it constricts the lungs and ribs. Example: I don't do anything intense and I've noticed that my breathing pattern is completely different with a binder (my size, fits fine). My breathing tends to be shallower and I just breathe more often. It's uncomfortable to breathe normally (tight in the lungs + pressure on the ribs). So for sports that would be an issue because typically you need to be able to breathe more/heavier than normal. Probably not the safest, it might cause actual rib injuries or at least some kind of pain.
As for alternatives there are a few options.
Some of the (unpadded) high impact sports bras can actually compress a decent amount depending on your chest size. The Champion brand has some good ones (or they did? They discontinued my favorite ones a few years ago and I'm still too annoyed to look at their other styles). Again, it really depends. Sports bras tend to be very "lift and support" which doesn't help but some of the high impact ones are more of the "just glue them down so they don't move" variety which does help. You might have to try stuff and read reviews.
Underworks makes a binding bra which some people like for sports (I haven't tried it, I've just read reviews, would recommend doing some research). It is shaped like a sports bra but is designed to bind. It doesn't bind as well as a regular binder but it's meant for sports so I can imagine it might be better for your ribs.
I also think Shapeshifters makes a sports binder but they aren't currently selling binders at the moment (they're just selling anything they have left in stock which isn't binders and they're making face masks) so I can't check to confirm that.
Simply Vince Thanks for the information I really appreciate it I’ll look into it :)
Never thought anyone would reply
I want to wear a binder but my mom won’t let me because I’m at higher risk of breast cancer she told me that if the oncologist says it’s fine than I’m allowed to buy it but I want to know in advanced so if anyone knows the answer please tell me
who was your surgeon/where is her office?
Where can I get a free one I can't earn money but I had my chest
I need a binder cause I hate having a big chest it's caused me alot if self confident issues plus I can't wear what I like cause it looks too weird on me :/
My mom says kids/teenagers shouldn’t bind yet since there body’s are growing and she said i should use a thing that’s kinda like a sports bra also I’m genderfluid
Should I get a binder since I'm nonbinary?
If you want to bind, get one. But if you don't then that's perfectly valid as well :)
I once forgot I was wearing a binder and wore it for a week straight, I only realized when my ribs turned into mashed potatoes..
Do you stay flat after years of binding?
Yeah my mum won't let me get a binder but I know most of the stuff for it and the rules and I don't know what I'm ment to do like I'm not male or female I'm both and my mum just acts weird when I say mum please can I get a binder and she won't let me and I have enough money to buy one I just don't know where to buy a good one or how to measure for one .
Something that still doesn't make sense to me is when they say "it affects your best tissue" but... you're getting it all removed anyway?
Kamryn Quinn I'm not a doctor or expert so this might not be accurate, but I think it has to do a lot with stretching the skin and being able to operate on the tissue. Binding might shape the tissue in a weird way so that it's harder to remove or make the final results of the surgery look misshapen?
It causes the breast tissue to break down and sag faster, this is problematic because despite its ultimate removal the skin elasticity could be compromised making your post-op recovery time to be longer as well as compromising some of the overall aesthetic results ultimately. More concerningly if you bind for well over a year consistently it has similar affects to that of a corset- ei. slightly reduced lung capacity and its very common to see those who bind have ribs that stick out slightly more than they has pre-binding. Apparently binding too tightly can also ruin the connective tissue of the upper torso. This can have adverse health effects such as
* infections
* cysts
* misshapen/asymmetrical breasts
* damage to the respiratory system
It can disqualify you from certain types of top surgery, and affect the aesthetic results of all top surgeries. If you bind dangerously then it can even disqualify you from top surgery, period.
Honestly I know a ton of guys who, before getting top surgery, would bind 24/7. It did not mess up their results in fact their results look great. So... w/e
And I know of individuals whom it has had a negative affect on. I dont see how this anecdotal evidence is relevant.
Does binding change your breast shape permanently?
Late response, but I think yes only if you wear it wrong like for more then 8 hrs, exercise and sleep in it
i just put on my first binder. but it doesn't do shit. my chest looks still the same. does i need time or do i have the wrong size maybe?
Probably the wrong size. I, with a double D cup have a xl binder. When putting it on also make sure that your chest is not facing down. Pull them up and to the sides for the best results!
Can someone give me a link to a free binder rn I'm binding with ace bandages
@Carmen Wiggins thanks, but I finally was able to get a underworks binder

ghostbugg
It’s extremely unhealthy to layer bras it’s pretty much like layering binders :)
@@lucius8200 oh my goodness. Thank you so much for telling me! I wish I could buy a binder. Can you suggest any healthy ways to bind??
Oh yeah yeah
If anyone is willing to answer is it okay to wear a binder at a young age. I heard someone say it is okay to wear one if you're under 15. I am younger than 15 but I am a size 36b. Can I still wear a binder. Is it even safe to?
Hey I know this was 7 months ago and idk where you’re at now but I figured I’d answer your question. Yes it is safe to bind I am also under 15 and my chest is a similar size to yours. I recommend binders from gc2b and if you are in between measurements get a size up. Also listen to your body. If it hurts really bad take it off for the rest of the day. Stay safe
@@peyton7527 thanks for commenting. I already got a binder and its been great. Stay safe too person.
Does anyone know how to get the free binder I am in a transphobic house and don’t know how to get one 😰
There are multiple companies that provide free binders. I would just look up free binders or donated binders. Also if you do find a way to obtain a binder you should ABSOLUTELY find a good friend that you trust to ship the binder to. Also after you take off your binder you should hide it where only you can find it. That way none of your family will find out. Hope that helps!
Actually point of pride donates free binders. Here’s the link: pointofpride.org/chest-binder-donations/
please give me a free binder place! i need one my mom is homophobic
Homophobic means against homosexuality... You mean transphobic?
