BINDING QUESTION

Should my breasts/nipples be pointing forward or down when my binder is on?

[nobleladychaos]

Are there women, who were both born women and continue to “identify” as women, that bind?

(Sorry if the quotation marks are weird I think the word identify is wrong, but I don’t know the proper term.)

Binding question: I bought a binder for cosplaying, but I’m not sure if I have the right fit, I know not to wear it if it’s painful or if I have I’m having problems breathing, and I didn’t (I had only tried it on for a few minutes though), but when I took it off my chest was completely red, I haven’t seen anything about redness (only bruising), is this a normal thing or might the binder be too small

Is there a good way to bind safely without a binder or sports bra? As I live with my parents, I have no means of getting a binder without being kicked out and the sports bra tip has never seemed to work for me. Are there other safe methods a binding, preferably something nondescript or diy?

when open shirt binding with tape, i have a few questions. 

1. how long can you wear it for? 2. how do you get it off? 3. is it really effective for bigger chested people?

So here's a question...Please help.

I'm looking into getting my first binder, and I have found one that I do like, Underworks 997. However, a thought occurred to me. I'm a guy with large hips(pear shaped) and I was wondering... What style of binder would be best for my shape? pullover? Zipper? Velcro?
