Hi! I just wanted to remind everyone some things about binding!
Do not use ace bandages, duct tape, etc for binding! You risk damaging nerve ending in your chest!
Listen to your body! If you get extreme chest pains from your binder, take it off immediately! If it hurts at all to wear the binder, refrain from wearing it until you can get a new one!
To continue from the last reminder, examine your chest area to figure out WHY it was hurting! It could be something as simple as your chest grew (this is common if you are binding at a young age, since your body is still growing), or several other reasons!
Do not hold your breath when you put on your binder! Breathe normally!
When you take off your binder, cough forcefully 3 times- this loosens any fluid that could have settled in your chest!
This was a friendly reminder to all my nonbinary or trans followers!I hope you all have a dysmorphia free day!
