#binder questions

[sparky-kasane]

So real talk, whenever I wear my binder for a while (like, over an hour), I feel myself getting really sleepy. (Don't worry, I never fall asleep whilst binding). Genuine question, does anyone else get sleepy while/after binding or is it just me? (I have to walk to classes on campus, if that helps)

I just got a binder guys!

Im trying it out for a little bit before bed.

But I was wondering if anyone had tips for binders! When I first put it on I felt like I couldn’t get my girls situated right and it was pressing unevenly but I think I got it after a bit of maneuvering.

And how should the fit feel? It kind of feels like a bit of a tight fit sports bra but like I can still breath easily.

Hello loves,

I have a question and hope someone can help me out. I recently bought a flavnt binder, and it didn’t work out for me with size and style, so I’m looking for a different one. I know a lot of people use underworks or gc2b.

My question is:

What is your favorite type of binder? Why?

Thanks <3

Hey I'm gonna get a binder, gettig it from gcb2, but sizing is confusing me!! I've tried but I just can't make sense of it. I wear xl in men and 2xl in women's, and I have 40/c bra

Help a bro out, what size binder should I get??

how bad would it be if I wore my binder that's a size too small just for a couple hours today while I'm home alone?

I need help, trans men lovelies!

My brother has requested a binder for xmas. He’s never had a binder before and also he knows next to nothing about sizing and such, so he can’t tell me what size to buy him.

Which is why I turn to you! If you are feeling so inclined, please help!

What measurements are required for selecting a binder? Chest, of course, but waist/hips?

What is the best way to select a binder based on measurements? Would one buy a binder a size up? A size down?

In your experience, which is more comfortable: a chest-only binder or a full torso binder?

What is a good website to get good quality binders at affordable pricing?

Is there anything specific I should be looking for in a good binder/anything specific I should be looking for in a first binder?

Thank you everyone who decides to help!

Questions

So I met this person I fell in love with around 5 years ago, and we started dating a month after we met, I really liked them. It didn’t really matter to me what they were. I fell for the person, not the gender. I do not identify with any particular sexuality, but enough about me. I wish to be able to be more supportive of my boyfriend, and was hoping someone out there might be able to help me out? He is transgender, (FtM). I know next to nothing about how this works, although I’ve tried to educate myself a lot on the subject. My questions revolve around how to show my undying support of this (he knows I support him, I just want him never to question it.), just small things I can do to help ease the stress. Things I shouldn’t ask, do, ect. Binders I can help purchase, what are the brands and where can I buy? what’s a good vs. bad binder? What should I, as a girlfriend, worry about and do? 

I really love my boyfriend, and want him to be happy.  It is a very tough subject for him, and I want to be able to help him through it.  I appreciate every thought, suggestion and tips on the subject.  Maybe someone even have articles on the transitioning? I can’t seem to find any that goes into the depth of it.  Thank you!
