Hi! I'm ftm and I cant find a good way to bind that isn't harmful (I just put tape over my chest because my sports bras don't work), and it makes me a little uncomfortable. Is there another way? Thanks!
hey!!! im so sorry this is such a late reply. i don’t know if you still need to hear this, but don’t bind with tape!!! ever!!! tape will damage your skin and can cause pain.
a way to bind is to wear a compression sports bra - you may be wearing support bras instead of a compression bra.
you can also put on your most compressive bra (while making sure it fits correctly! don’t wear a bra that’s too small!) and put a tank top over it. then you can fold the tank top’s bottom over the top, forming an extra layer.
i’d also reccomend wearing looser clothes - a baggier shirt or hoodie will help :)
