Blog to share tips and tricks to bind, tape, tuck and more!

[trans-cendance]

Pinned

Welcome to this blog where @thendandnbhrshl will share stuff xey find around.

The original goal of this blog was to share information on how to use trans tape and allow contributions in order for people to have a lot of references. I however thought it might be even more interesting to widen the goal and allow for more trans tools stuff.

You can send ask and contributions. Contributions of "What I like/don't like about [insert brand/tool]" are very welcome.

Know that since I (Julian) am transmasc, it means that I lack some understanding and knowledge for transfem-related things. Don't hesitate to chime in if I ever mess some stuff up or if you want to make a post.

Where to find helping tools? (binders, gaffs, etc)

[trans-cendance]

Added this reddit post compiling some information about tdick tugging and foreskin restoration from Thursdays-T-Time under the Zines tab and turned it into a pdf so it's easier to access!

[trans-cendance]

Three more studies about testosterone under the "Studies" tab!!!

If you have some that are not listed (and not just about testosterone) please send them my way!!

[trans-cendance]

One shop based in Africa (South Africa) added! (I do have to say that I wish to see more from this continent)

I also added four clinical guidelines and perspectives about trans people. Those are good resources to give your doctors if they're a bit lost about transgender people in a medical setting.

The website is live!

I have been gathering resources here and there and in order to make them available to everyone I not only create several spreadsheets, but I also made a website!!!

Say hi to Trans-cendence! Where you can find trans-related resources like studies and shops!

If you have any proposition whatsoever like a website, a shop, a study, etc, that can be considered a resource, please come forward so I can add it! I also accept resources from/about other countries than just english- and french-speaking ones.

If there is a type of resources that is not listed and you have some from that category, please come forward too! The goal is to update the website bit by bit.

⚠️ I know of two issues at that point with the website: 1. I haven't made it flexible for phones/tablets yet (I will work on it when I have the energy/time) and 2. When scrolling down a tab, changing tab doesn't bring the scroll back to the top (I haven't figured out a way to fix that yet, I'm still discovering javascript)

[trans-cendance]

I made the website responsive for phones!!

I made the max size at 800px, so if you have a tablet it should display the same way as when on the computer.

I also changed the look of the tables so it's nicer to look at (even on computer) and much more readable on phone!

On the puppygirl question, apparently.

Karl Marx was disabled, and relied on Engels for rent.

[jingerpi]

I think this is the best essay on the topic yet, the theory section actually engages seriously with marx

[jingerpi]

early reviews are in

[storyweavingspider]

Hey, if you’re disabled (of any kind), Mad/Insane, or “undiagnosed but there’s definitely something happening”, please come read this.

Especially if you’re a disabled transfemme. I know that as of writing, we’ve had a shitty couple days.

And if y’all can share it otherwise, whether that’s reblogging this or sending the link to the disabled/mad/whatever we are people in your life, I’d really appreciate it.

Build Your Own Survival – Anonsee's Writings

looking at any kind of trans supplies focused online shop is depressing because there will either be a complete absence of anything for transfems or like. a really sad transfem section with 5 items at the end of a list full of binders and packers and harnesses

[lowpawly]

on a queer sex positive online store. depressing

[xenasaur]

"nonbinary bodies" HMMMMMMM

[croifox]

My transfeminine body can be as nonbinary as any transmasc I'll fight any motherfucker who says different

[assortedinsanities]

thebreastformstore.com For breastforms + care, shapewear, wigs, shoes and jewlery

enfemmestyle.com For clothing, breastforms + care, shapewear, tucking and wigs

translife.uk For clothing, cosmetics, breastforms and tucking.

I get the frustration, but ultimately if you want stores that do sell things specifically for trans feminine people, searching for them and sharing them is the way to go.

If you are looking for lingerie style bras for a flat chest, those are marketed towards cis woman, who had cancer related breast reduction surgery.

And I get that it is frustrating that a lot of these thing are also marketed towards crossdressers, but the reason for this is the same as to why a lot of binders are marketed as "sports bras": sellers put every (vaguely) related term into their website in the hopes of selling to more people. Which obviously isn't great either, but at least I can better tolerate it, knowing it is marketing bullshit and not misgendering me for the sake of it.

[gemstonenostalgia]

Been a long time since I did the legwork of finding places but here's all my bookmarked lingerie brands that make lingerie for transfems and have transfem models.

Carmen Liu Lingerie - trans woman owned lingerie company that makes bras and panties specifically for transfems, also has plain cotton kids' underwear.

Juniper & Eve - cis woman owned from what I can tell but her starting point with the company was "make lingerie for a trans woman friend" and underwear types are sorted by style (flat front, gaff, or pouch front) rather than by gender.

Origami Customs - I kind of think of OC as more transmasc-focused but since I last checked their site they've added the option to select gusset width on non-gaff undies which I'm pleasantly surprised by. They also do custom sizing at no extra cost.

TomboyX also does breastform bras and tucking panties now but idk anyone who wears them so I can't comment on that specirfically. Just buying their underwear over the years I feel that the quality has dropped off while the prices have doubled. I get stuff on sale only. YMMV.

The only super specifically transfem

[emcapi]

I wanted to add on my small local store, the Tool Shed. They carry breast forms, compatible bras, gaff underwear, shapewear, some accessories like adhesive tape and wash, and dilators and lube. They also have a TONNN of books for sale (I checked and the "books and media" section for trans and intersex topics has 279 items)!

The above link is for their trans focused site, but they also have a larger collection here that includes all their trans products along with regular sex toys (and even MORE books.)

[candleswans]

while these are strong resources, the majority of these links have yet to offer transfem specific sex toys which is what the original post is about. i know transmasc specific sex toys exist mostly to accommodate tdicks (i checked the site and the majority of what is listed for transmascs are strokers, pumps, and packers). i am having trouble finding transfem specific sex toys listed myself. however i found the following resources:

allure's 23 amazing sex toys for transfems: offers toy options to alleviate bottom dysphoria, help maintain erections, and for those who are post op (dilators, lube, clit toys). also recommends some books.

the trans woman's guide to sex toys: written by a trans woman, specifically offers guidance and recommendations for transfems who are post op.

cute little fuckers: makes no mention of transmasc vs transfem specific toys but is designed by and for trans people. the toys come in unique shapes and sizes so they can be used creatively by anyone with any genitalia, definitely had trans genitalia in mind of course.

susan's place transgender resources: this is just a forum where somebody is asking for recommendations for their trans girlfriend with bottom dysphoria. lots of good recommendations from other transfems here, but also this post is from 2014 so some information may be outdated

cashmere mag: more sex toy recommendations for transfems.

sex toys for micropenises and "neo"vaginas: sex toys designed for those with small/"micro" penises (trans men on t with enlarged clits, trans women on e with smaller penises), and for trans women with vaginoplasty (toys that accommodate lack of natural lubricants and the need to dilate, essentially).

after a lot of digging it looks like there aren't a lot of sex toys out there designed specifically for transfems in mind :(( which really sucks because theres a lot of potential there. please add on if you find any!

Hormones products & co

Welcome Hi, welcome to my special spreadsheet made for informations on HRT and needle disposal. The sharps system tab is to learn of progra

HECK YEAH SPREADSHEET

You can now find my sharps disposal updated with new informations.

You can now list the different products you can have access to in your country!

Same system as usual: comment on the respective cells to add information and I will incorporate it to the spreadsheet.

I do have to apologise to transfems because I don't understand half of what the heck does what, so I'm pretty sure there's a tab missing for progestins or progesteron? (I also don't have the english terms)(like I'm really lost in the sauce here) So yeah, give me a shout so I can add the tab/change the names etc.

Where do I throw away my needle after an injection?

Once you used your needle, you need to put it in a sharps container. If you really can't find an approved container, you can use a heavy-duty plastic container that can close tight without risks of leaks.

Once your container is filled, you can look online for drop points.

How to get an approved sharps container:

All countries: Pharmacies know about it and can give you the needed informations. You can also look up online medical stores but it also means that you need to look up drop points for when your box is full.

For France 🇫🇷: Pharmacies are obligated to give you (for free) a DASTRI box if you ask for one. They will also take away your full one and replace it.

For the USA 🇺🇸: Look up the Safe Needle Disposal website.

Other countries: Please, send me an ask (anon is on), reply or reblog this post with the informations and I will update this post.

important message for trans girls taking estrogen as well as anyone who has breasts developing right now,

IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL TO HAVE ONE BOOB GROWING FASTER THAN THE OTHER

IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL TO HAVE ONE BOOB THAT IS A DIFFERENT SHAPE THAN THE OTHER

IT IS PERFECTLY NORMAL TO HAVE NIPPLES THAT LOOK DIFFERENT THAN EACH OTHER

literally nobody talks about this because people are afraid of Sex ED but PLEASE for the love of tits do not stress over not being perfectly symmetrical, you are beautiful.

[spacelazarwolf]

also please do not forget to do self exams! in the shower, before you get dressed, whenever. we are still not very good about even telling young afab ppl who are growing breasts how to do self exams, and i’ve met a ton of trans gals who had no idea they were supposed to do self exams so this is your reminder to do so about once a month! some discomfort when growing boobs is normal, but lumps and serious pain are not!

Hrshl's thoughts on BWYA

Customers service

The interactions I've had with them always went well. Once the post did shit with my address and they were fine to send the package again for free since it wasn't me who wrote the address badly.

They have connections with some stores that will not only sell binders but also let you try them.

Shipping

The price is normal considering their shipping methods.

They do have their logo on the paper, but other than that it's discreet. You can tell them if having "BWYA" on the package causes a problem in the "note" section before validating your order.

They can send your package to your house or to a relay point.

Quality

I bought a binder when they were starting and a seam was a bit off. Other than that it was perfectly fine and held well (it's still holding, but it lost most of it's elasticity due to use and wash)

I now buy their trans tape and I don't have any complaints about it.

Price

I feel like their prices are in the normal range.

The binders are around 40€ and the gaffs around 30€.

Note: 10/10
