- By wearing a bra backwards
- Using tape of any kind (even tape products made for binding aren’t the safest)
- For more than 8 hours at a time
- With the nipple pointing down/with the breast squashed downward (the nipple should be pointing out)
- Using a strapless binder
- While menstruating (or at least reduce the amount that you’re doing it)
- Overnight/while sleeping
- While exercising or singing
- Using tights, leggings, pillowcases, duct tape, or anything that wasn’t made to be on a chest
- If you’ve recently bruised/hurt yourself from binding
- Using a padded bra (kinda ruins the effect)
- With anything “homemade” that isn’t meant to be on a chest
- In water/a pool (unless it is marked as safe for this)
- With the wrong size binder
- Without telling yourself that you are loved and to be safe before you put it on every single time~
