Binding
Binders
I found that Spectrum Outfitters worked best for me (prices range from $50-$39). I also have binders that are older and stretched out or that don鈥檛 work as well (like gc2b) that I use when I don鈥檛 need as flat of a chest because they are easier on my rib cage lol. If you do that, do NOT count that as a break!
Practice safe binding!
Don't bind for more than 8 hours
Don't sleep in a binder
Don't exercise in a binder
Get the right size
Try to only wear a binder for 5 or 6 days a week (this one is hard, I know)
If it hurts, take it off!
If you notice bruising, something is wrong! Your binder might be too small or you may be wearing it for too long.
TransTape
Wearing binders all the time is not too good for you so I recommend using a variety of different binding techniques. One is TransTape!
The reason Ace bandages are unsafe is because as you breathe it gets tighter and tighter and can really hurt you. But TransTape doesn't do that, it's like the tape athletes use when they sprain their ankle or something. It's safe as long as it is used properly. Plus, you can wear it for up to 5 days, exercise and sleep while wearing it, and it's water proof!
TransTape isn't the only brand of course, but they do have a lot of great resources.
Learn more at their website here. I recommend starting with this page and the FAQ.
KT tape is another option if you cant afford/arent allowed to order TransTape. You can find it at most drugstores and box stores for relatively cheap. The adhesive isnt as strong as TransTape, keep that in mind when applying.
Men's Compression Shirts *I have not used these myself (yet) but I hear they work pretty well*
Made for cis men with gynecomastia but hey we can use em. Obviously will work much better for smaller chests, but could still do something for bigger chests, maybe for under a hoodie?
They won't flatten you as well as binders but the goal is more to masculinize the shape of your chest than to completely flatten it. They are also safer than binders.
Other stuff
The color black will make you look flatter
Layers! Lots of layers! (don't overheat)
Sports bras
Compression bras
Button ups <3333

the emotional labor of binding. trying to do it as safe as you can while trying to be comfortable. still getting rib pains and finding it hard to breathe no matter what. feeling like a failure because it hurts sometimes. feeling bad if you can鈥檛. sucking at using tape. the absolute struggle t tape is. it鈥檚 painful in so many ways and i don鈥檛 think people really talk about how much of an emotional labor it can be sometimes

pro tip for my trans tape wearers: if you're like me and you take it off way too fast sometimes because you didnt shower before applying so it was itchy and you finally got tired of it but was very impatient in the removal and now your skin is all fucked up, SLATHER VASELINE ON THAT SHIT!!!
basically i removed it wayyy too fast so my skin is red and irritated and dry. usually when this happens, it takes about a week to heal. right now it's day 2 and the dead skin is already peeling off and the itchiness is GONEZO
so invest in baby oil and vaseline thank u for coming to my ted talk

I'm somewhere between a B and A cup, so I'm on the smaller side of chests. I've tried different methods of taping and all it did was make them not jiggle when I walked- like a tape bra.
This method, however focuses on the pec shape rather than flattening perfectly.
I came up with it after wasting half a roll of trans tape on other methods, but this one really helped me!
All bodies are different so don't be afraid to experiment with different styles!
Make sure ur musty ass is clean when you put the tape on or you'll be taping over dirt and sweat which is going to give yourself an infection.
Here's a tutorial I found on larger chests and bodies!>>> https://youtu.be/USNvHelRBoU
When making the anchor (the part that sticks to your skin before you pull the rest of it) make sure it's flat and attached well using heat and friction.
(Round the fucking corners of the tape! It gives more traction! )
The first strip is 3 segments and starts near the bottom of the breast where the skin folds over, and pulls up towards the armpit diagonally.
Be sure to pull up first. If you pull down, it may damage the tissue and make top surgery impossible.
The second piece pulls downwards diagonally from the top towards the bottom of the ribs at the back (near your floating ribs). Make sure it doesn't wrap all the way to your shoulder blades.
(That way you can reach It to take it off properly)
It's important not to do this backwards because you shouldn't pull down! It should look like pecs, but remember, cutting board flat is unrealistic and dangerous!
The skin will itch in the middle so feel free to use anti itch cream to alleviate.
Remember > the tissue may be more dense like mine which makes this using transtape frustrating.
Again, feel free to alter it if it doesn't work.
If you have sensory issues, be aware of your boundaries! You can feel the tape on you but don't be afraid to say that it doesn't feel right.
Adjust it or try a different binder. Fytist is the best for sensory friendly binding.
With tape, you'll be able to feel your shirt on your chest and back when using transtape too, so that's something to get used to.
Wear a heavy jacket or sit against something to make that odd sensation go away.
I'm disabled, and I have issues with my oxygen levels so breathing properly is a must. Binders can make it hard to breathe and cause joint pain which is a bitch of a time for me. In the summer, especially, since they get hot.
Binders work for me, luckily, but this method of tape allows for clear breathing.
No squeezing sensation and free range of movement.
It minimizes pain, and allows me to breathe freely as I would with nothing on. If you have breathing problems and can use tape, I highly suggest this.
You can sleep in this stuff and use it for 4 ish days. If it hurts or pulls, or even blisters, take it off! It's better to have a bad day than to live with a mistake forever. Bind safely!

This is for those of you who feel like they're not "flat enough ". Markipier is a cis man and I personally love that he never hides that his chest is somewhat fuller. He has pecs and wears tighter shirts, and this is literally the norm for men. This is the shape you should be going for, not cutting board flat. Most men aren't flat anyways.
When in dysphoria, remember markipier!
Lastly, if you can get cutting board flat, be sure to check if your method is safe and that you're not pulling down. If it's safe, congrats! But I will find you and I will delete your minecraft worlds if you bully others about their chest.
Stay safe out there, queers!
