I had a really hard time finding guides or tips for kt tape/open chest binding so I decided to make my own
Don't make the nipple pads too big, no wider than the tape, tape must seal all the way around the pad or it'll peal back
Don't layer the tape strips, they dont stick to each other
It can be easier to tape if you're laying on your back
Don't place the tape with your arms up, it'll crease and fold when you put your arms back down
Don't place the tape further than halfway around your side, if it pulls across your subscapularis it'll hurt like hell
Don't put tension on the ends of the tape, strech the middle section only, you can get tension sores if there isnt enough of an anchor point (recommended an inch or two)
Put on the tape after you shower and are fully dry, the tape won't stick properly if there are any residues
Don't expect to be flat, it mainly just changed the shape of my breasts and gave support
When you want to take it off, rub oil into the tape, wait 10-30 minutes, peel off in a hot shower
If you get sores don't tape over them
I cant speak to this myself but I've heard that prolonged sun exposure can make the tape melt to your skin, so be careful ig
I'll keep updating this as I learn new things!
Circled is the subscap muscle, Don't hook the tape over this
