Binders 101

[@ConfusedGirlButSmartDude]

this is the only cosplay channel that I've seen talk about actual binders XD

[@GalHeist]

I'm so glad somebody finally mentioned how offencive it is to enter binder giveaways for trans/ genderless people when you just want to cosplay, tbh its annoying because my mum says I can't wear a binder even though I know the rules of binding.

[@toriguy6335]

Hey I just thought you might like to know I found this really great sports bra at Walmart that gets you super flat. It's Hanes high impact bra

[@DemCosplayGirls]

tori guy Thank you! ^^

[@rui6811]

I already knew a lot of this but I always love reviewing haha. Also, just another thing, if you're wearing a bind its good to raise your arms and take deep breaths every once in a while. It helps your back and lungs. Plus once you take it off after a while of wearing, give out a few good coughs to release any fluids that might be built up in your chest! Stay safe everyone. Love the video!

[@DemCosplayGirls]

Thank you for your words of advice!! ^^ We're glad you enjoyed the video!!~

[@DemCosplayGirls]

Hope this helped anyone that had any questions! Once again, a BIG thank you to our friend Sam, check him out on Tumblr!! (Links in the description!)

[@MrHenrikAndersson]

I have a really hard time trying to understand this and why, but I really like how people go on KZbin to help others stay safe and healthy. 2 thumbs up for Sam.

[@arlohasnolife9671]

Hey Sam, you rock. don't ever forget that. don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[@swaffordduh]

Awesome video! Love the topic, super helpful and informative. thanks for introducing us to Sam ^-^ hope to see him again (IN COSPLAY?!)

[@DemCosplayGirls]

No problem!! It's all thanks to Sam ^^ Haha, we'd have to ask him but I'm sure he wouldn't mind!~

[@johnnybonestealeaf]

I know this has nothing to do with the video (which helped a lot btw) but am i the only one who thought of sam looked kind of like Dean from supernatural? Super cute btw, lovely video as always.

[@halfpint2502]

great video! I just wanted to say that I freaked out when I heard the soundtrack to My Little Monster in the background- love that anime!!!

[@marysolcranston2032]

Sam is cute >w

[@allyssa7579]

Aye who didnt laugh at all the boob talk but burst out laughing when he said "im a mummy" //..'raises hand' meeeeeeee

[@sadiebullock1767]

Yep.

[@kirby_tardigrade]

a quick correction: I use the tank-top version of gc2b binders and they don't "even things out". The chest part is the only part that isn't super stretchy, the rest is meant to not bind at all.

[@ElainaBorland]

Omg. Transfashionable. I love that show.......

[@dammekstrider8236]

if you can, can you make a Osomatsu-san makeup tutorial? i am going to go to a con as Ichimatsu from the show but i don't know what to do for the makeup! i already have most of what need for the cosplay

[@claryndamontie3638]

[@cryptocosplay4121]

Thank you so much that's all I can say

[@DemCosplayGirls]

[@maxmahou2428]

Hey Erin, how does it feel to wear a binder? ^3^

[@kaybee1749]

I love all of you

[@zombiesquirrels8D]

Thanks Sam!! ^^

[@alonelonely4ever]

Thank you for the video , I feel that gc2b binders is so good , even I never had a binder , but I don't have enough money to buy two .. so I was the more good binder , I used to wear sports bra for more than 8 years , and my chest unfortunately get bigger somehow .. so I think binder is better now , I'm 21 years old and I live in middle east so , can I get gc2b binders in my country ?! Thank you again .

[@DemCosplayGirls]

alonelonely4ever I'm afraid that you can only find these things online! >

[@taxsylrc1598]

ah, the Twitter account talking about diy binders is not available anymore... is there anywhere else I could look?

[@learningmoreempathy]

Holy Guacamole he's cute

[@GhostInTheRiver]

rlly good video :D

[@DemCosplayGirls]

+Kill the Hamster Thank you!!! ^u^

[@ShamBamGaming]

how do i make sure a binder is safe to buy? im sort of on a tight budget ($30)

[@gimygaming8655]

Gc2b

[@kimhunsberger2006]

is it safe to bind when you are still in puberty? (im 13 btw)

[@almondtart]

thank you so muchhhhhh ah

[@happychibipanda]

After watching this video, I laugh at myself. If I do the sports bra thing I'm completely flat chested. My chest measures 28in. Around. LOL. I now wonder why I'm even WATCHING this video... But hey. Your guys' videos are great. Love you guys!

[@DemCosplayGirls]

Hey, I'm in the same boat as you so don't worry XD And thank you so much!!~♡ -Fiona owo

[@misspikuru]

Are there any binders that can successfully reduce a 34L cup?? At least a little bit :/

[@yamiprincess]

you didn't take into account the possible permanent breast tissue damage and elasticity loss

[@thehipsternugget]

SUPER HELPFUL!! I cannot wait to make mine :)) mostly because I hate my boobs and for gym so my teacher doesn't nag me about my shirt and so I can run and jump without my boobs bothering me :D

[@kintama_aishiteru712]

If I use bandages for a really short time is it still harmfull?

[@steviemartin543]

Yes

[@dirkstrider6827]

this is a dumb question, but what bra (sports,normal ex.) do you wear under a binder if any at all?

[@kingoftheweaboos5347]

Normally, people don't wear anything under their binder. I'm no professional, but I guess if it feels uncomfortable against your skin, put a tank-top or undershirt under your binder.

[@dirkstrider6827]

Thank you

[@_vampiredisco]

At dance class we wear leotards and sometimes we tape our boobs down because they're very annoying for dance so like is that bad because I heard you say don't use tape. Although I usually don't tape my boobs for cosplay or anything I just wear a leotard because it's basically like a binder.

[@lilyhawkins8212]

When you're a trans cosplayer so you already know this lmao

[@brittneyfraser3151]

What's the background music you used? It sounds SUPER familiar but I can't place it and it's driving me nuts ;-;

[@DemCosplayGirls]

Haha sorry we should have linked that down below! It's the soundtrack to an anime called My Little Monster/Tonario no Kaibutsu...ring any bells? C;

[@brittneyfraser3151]

YUUSSS OMGGGGG

[@DemCosplayGirls]

Brittney Fraser Yesssssss! *u*

[@mae-sb5dt]

i have quite a large chest for my age and i used so many binders including a few underworks ones but it still doesnt work so im sad ;-; (size c for an 11 yr old :T)

[@renegadeangstymarshmallow651]

have you tried gc2b?

[@sugarystar5788]

What if I wear those sports bandages that are already elastic?

[@stephanielynn4277]

just dont it isnt good for you

[@alexappelbe9575]

Thts basically an ace bandage

[@renegadeangstymarshmallow651]

are cheap binders as bad as ace bandages?

[@Day-et3fm]

They can be, honestly, it's better to get a more expensive binder that is very good than a bad one that could make you end up in a hospital

[@hayleyscomet3447]

Do you girls not bind for cosplay?

[@DemCosplayGirls]

Megurine Luka We actually don't cosplay guys that often, but when we do, Erin usually has to bind but I don't really have big boobs so I can get away without binding! XD -Fiona

[@faithgotmotion]

So basicly there no point of me getting i binder because I play sports with my bros for almost 12 hours and then we go to get something to eat wow :/

[@genesisblisss]

sending this to literally all of my trans friends

[@Allochtha]

oh my heavens, is that timmy's coffee? im stuck in the US ;( (no tim hortons)

[@DemCosplayGirls]

Ahhhh yes it is ;u; *cries for you* TTATT XD

[@shagwolg6200]

Sorry but this was cringe worthy

[@avimiles6512]

How?

[@loisc4817]

I just went on the underworks website to buy a binder but because I live in the UK its 20 extra dollars for shipping and I don't have that money, does anyone know any good binder shops with cheaper shipping?

[@sierralarars]

I'm from the UK too, I actually got mine direct from Underworks! It's a little more costly yes but if you plan on crossplaying a lot then it's worth it! I've got the 997 but it is very long (I'm 5ft), I'm actually in the process of modifying a gusset into it so it doesn't roll up :) I did get my binder a good while ago about 6years so they definitely last!

[@sugarystar5788]

What if I wear those sports bandages that are already elastic?

[@sugarystar5788]

***** Thank you, I'm newbie at binding! Is it the same for open chest?

[@sugarystar5788]

***** something like this data.whicdn.com/images/34895466/large.jpg

[@sugarystar5788]

***** I guess it works! Thank you for helping me!
