Alternative Chest Binding Methods!

my instagram: @frog_king3

[@zombiedude9826]

Additionally, treat these alternative methods as if they were an actual binder, and take the same precautions. For example still follow the rules of no more than 8 hours, don’t exercise in them, don’t sleep in them, etc. It’s easy to say “oh it’s not a real binder” and not follow the proper safety precautions.

[@rainydays3.5]

yes that's super important as well thank you!

[@sami_lynn]

Wish I saw this before- I was wearing three sports bras and fell asleep with them on by accident and then was in a rush to get to school in the morning and forgot about it, ran a mile for gym in it and didn’t take it off til I got home😅😓

[@piercingmytongue]

Why can't i exercise in a sports bra tho 💀

[@tinyturtuliscool4325]

@@piercingmytongue you can but it is when you are binding with them that you need to make sure it is the correct size and all.

I'm transfem but binders are awesome (and just in the case of halloween)

[@LynxeyYourLocalTherian]

Made a homemade binder, here’s how: Supplies needed: 2-3 bras (clip on back pieces) Tank top Hot glue (any glue, just used this) Scissors. Cut tank top bottom part off to make an elongated bra looking shape (👙 this top but longer) Now cut in half (the back) Cut off about a 1 inch thick strip from a side (vertically) Take your glue and glue the parts the hooks hook too onto the binder, make sure none is hanging on and it’s completely on the back. Make sure it’s facing outwards! - further detail, do one clip thing on top and one on the bottom, if u have a third include the middle. Now take the hooks themselves and flip upside down, so it clips like the bra, make sure to align these perfectly. Now wait for all glue to dry before testing it! If it’s too big do not worry, just cut off a little more and re-glue the pieces onto the new part. It worked for me! (I’ve got transphobic parents, so I gotta hide this)

[@juliuselias2010]

Making home made binders can be dangerous! Try a binder drive instead. They help people that otherwise could not get binders get them

[@retrojoyz]

NEVER EVER DO THAT. NOT WITH CLIP ONS. They're NOT made for compression and will eventually get into your skin, which is why binders using those are extremely NOTORIOUS. Please remove your comments as it can endanger people

[@spencer-dot-exe]

please do not wear this, this is roughly on par with bandage binding. trust me- you will damage your ribs. i used to bind with homemade binders and would have to take breaks for WEEKS due to literally not being able to breathe even w nothing on. save yourself 🙏 stay safe

[@BeanicatorVEVO]

@@spencer-dot-exe It's only dangerous if it's too tight. You're discouraging people who are doing it safely just by saying this.

[@DUSTY_SUSHI]

People please don’t use sports bras if they aren’t right for you, they are meant for light compression, not binding. They do work but the way they are built isn’t safe for binding long term or long hours depending on your body. Bruising ribs or just hurting your body isn’t worth it. Please take care of yourselves

[@saltydinonuggies1841]

Too tight means out of breath, any kind of pain that isn’t common for you, unable to expand your chest fully. Trust me, not binding is much better than hurting yourself and never being able to get top surgery. Or ending up with chronic rib pain and severe breathing issues. Take it from someone who used to bind 10-15 hours a day.

[@Denkisnr1fan]

I just need one for cosplaying as denki.

[@eillasubs322]

[@Amari_youtube]

Thank you so much for this. My mom isn't supportive and I don't have access to a binder so this really helps Edit: unfortunately the layers are kinda noticable so I'm gonna have to fix that, will try to keep y'all posted and give whatever tips i find along the way Edit 2) layers and chest are hidden but can't breathe so still got work to do Edit 3) got it figured out for the most part. I took and undershirt (it's just a small cotton cami) and put I tight bra over that. Then folded the cami. Put a sports bra over top and it worked fairly well. Here's what my friend sent me when I asked him about it, will edit his message to make it make sense :D I don't suggest using more than one (sports bra) bc then it'll make ur chest look bigger. Make sure the padding is thin or there's none. You'll need to layer clothes and probably switch to more baggy. If you could I'd get a compression bra from Tomboyx. They don't specifically sell stuff for trans ppl and I'm not sure they do but the compression thingy is pretty good. U also might have to wear a tank top under your shirt

You can also sew your sports bra’s / tank tops to make them tighter but I recommend to start with one a little to big so you can adjust the tightness

I have a sports bra that doesn’t cross in the back but has all the fabric and I turn that around and wear it like that and it works great cuz the back isn’t expecting to hold boobs so it’s tighter

I saw a video a long time ago and it was really helpful, I’ve looked everywhere for it and I literally cannot find it but it said use a tank top and fold it up, like the creator of this video did, but also put a sports bra on top of it. This works pretty well for me (not as good as an actual binder of course but still works nicely) it brings me from a C to a B and if I layer a second tank top under the sports bra an A. I hope this works for anyone who try’s it. ❤❤

So, I’m a cis female, but I don’t really like my chest, it’s larger than I’d like, especially since I prefer to dress pretty masc, and I currently usually wear two sports bras (neither are tight at all, a single on does barely anything) the one on the bottom with the padding still in, the second one without padding, and then a semi tight spaghetti strap, and then a loose black tank top since the spaghetti strap is a weird grey, and it works decent, but I’d like another way without asking my mom. I mean I asked her for a new sports bra and she was like “yeah I’ll look into that” it’s been like two months now lol, and ik she’d be ok with it but it just seems like an awkward conversation
