omg. I tried to send you an ask but I'm not sure it went through but I have much want to ask so I'm gonna cover my butt and ask twice. I saw you say something about a binder you bought recently and I've been looking into getting one for cosplay reasons but I don't wanna if it's gonna be painful like everyone says it is. Would you recommend the one you purchased? I'm fairly large chested but idk if that matters, really. Does it hurt for you? Sorry if this is too personal. o.o
this isn't too personal at all, I love Tumblr because we can talk about tits and binding and lady parts and all that jazz without worrying about friends with the maturity of a 7 year old being like "boobs lol"
idek my boobs are pretty small, barely a B cup tbh, but the key with binders is to order one big enough for your chest. This is super, super, super key. Because a binder -- a good binder, a safe binder -- it supposed to allow you to move and breathe. It really just smooshes you down and up and out, which sounds sort of hilarious because yeah, it is, but it's also badass because you look in the mirror and it's like, damn yeah shit son yeah boobs are gone. If you're large chested I'd look into Western manufacturers because wow Asian sizes run small, and if you're ordering anything and it's like "S - M - L - XL - XXL" check a size chart before you even begin to presume, case in point I was (preciously) gifted a couple of A.F.K. binders recently and the label says XXL but these things barely fit me and I wear a 36B bra sooooo. Yeah. Asian sizes.
I definitely recommend the Love Boat velcro binder, though, as I've said. It's the best omfg.
