What It’s Like To Wear A Chest Binder

[@rozharris6834]

Just make sure you're being safe when binding, everybody! It shouldn't be restricting your breathing.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ANYONE YOU CHOOSES TO WEAR A BINDER! please make sure that your binder does not restrict breathing, make sure you do your research on how to safely wear a binder, we all want you to be comfortable in the safest way :)

[@IamMissPronounced]

Exactly, a binder should never ever cause pain or long-term discomfort

[@lauren-oi8ys]

I’m like a c cup so what size binder should I use?

[@grayae6837]

My friend is getting me a binder for my birthday so I'm making sure I know how to wear it safely

[@dylanwade6086]

Milk Carton always get a size up

[@tfs4156]

lauren measure your chest and use the GC2B measurements! That’s the safest way

[@missadissa1]

remember to never use ace bandages or double bind

[@missadissa1]

or tape

[@ziggy217]

until I cant get a real binder, I'm using ace bandages and two sports bras. it's not the best, but it works for now.

[@missadissa1]

it can physically harm you even to the point where - if you ever want top surgery - they can't do it

[@clairesearle4236]

Dissa1 why is it bad tho how can it harm you??!

[@missadissa1]

they dont move with your body, can seriously restrict breathing, cause fluid build-up in your lungs and other serious injuries, such as broken ribs, people have acquired permanent scars and other injuries from using Ace bandages or duct tape to bind

[@christopherjones5208]

[@TheKeeperOfGods]

PSA: The following things are considered improper binding. Improper binding CAN damage your breast tissue, which will DISQUALIFY YOU FROM EVER GETTING TOP SURGERY I know it's tempting but... Never wear more than one binder Do not wear it overnight Do not wear it over 8 hours (That may be hard for some, but literally lift it off your chest for a break even once) Don't exercise in it (Wear a loose one or sports bra) Make sure you can take a DEEP breath in it If you feel pain, TAKE IT OFF

[@mrpotatomboy]

Thank you!! A lot of people don't know that, and end up hurting themselves.

[@violetlovesyou]

ok thanks so much for posting this; i am a young ftm transgender and i usually bind with 2 sports bras due to not having a binder. is this ok? i do want to have top surgery when i’m older

[@ThugMuffinification]

The sexiest thing a person can wear is confidence. Everyone should have a right to feel comfortable, confident and connected to who they are mentally and physically. If a binder makes you feel good, makes you feel more like yourself, rock it. That goes for everything not just binding. The best version of ourselves is our authentic one.

[@FelixFFern]

+Nicole Slater Sadly it can be very difficult to be confident with a piece of constricting and sometimes painful material pulling at your chest. (Though it's still better than the alternative.)

[@lobotomyforeplay]

[@izziespiggies2949]

Xena Hellic how can it be unsafe? Sorry, I don't really know much about binding

[@sewergoblins4843]

Tøp Trash Binding can cause lung and rib damage if you do it long enough or in an unsafe way. There's really no "safe" way of doing it, just "safer" ways. For example, a real binder isn't necessarily safe, but it's a lot safer than, say, ace bandages.

[@alienatedanakin8095]

I'm a 14-year-old trans guy. I've come to terms with my identity just last year after a lot of talking with my friends and my family. I'm accepted by most of them, and I haven't been happier. I've been talking with my family about testosterone, and I'm starting soon... the only problem is that I don't know if I'm ready to commit to having a male body. I live as a guy completely, I just have a female body. The fact that I have a female body doesn't really bother me, so I don't know if I should really commit to transitioning officially. I'll go as far as getting a binder and a good haircut.

I have to say that I love that the people in this video are all people who actually go through binding, instead of this being a video like "watch these cis people try on binders for fun!!!!!" like i think having this representation is so important!!!! Awesome!!!

[@Magicbanana987]

A question, in one of the text screens, the video says queer. Where I come from, it's used as an insult and has always been considered really offensive towards people in the LGBT community and is frowned upon. Is it now acceptable?

[@nocturnewolfe8798]

I agree that this is better. It would be too painful to watch several perfectly good binders be given to people who don't even want them, and are getting money off of them. When some of us have no oppertunities to get one and actually need one. You had a very good point. ☺

[@NeonAnt]

I still would have liked to see someone that has never worn one, try it for a week. Cis or not.

[@wyrmur727]

Is it odd that I've always identified as a female and am physically a female, and I already have pretty small breasts, yet I kinda want to do this, just because I don't like having them that big? Idk, does it mean something?

[@angethedumbone]

Not really. You can be a cisgirl and still find it more comfortable to be more masculine. Don't be afraid of being masculine, you don't have to be 100% feminine to be a "woman". I can't really explain how you'll know if you're trans, you just.. know that the body you've been signed with isn't the body you've identified with (personal experience so I can't speak for everyone). Stay safe. ♡

[@caelg.3139]

+katrina hallworth don't listen to that other person. 12 is around the age I started questioning stuff and you shouldn't be afraid of all the possibilities. So yes, take your time, figure things out at whatever pace you need. Relationships aren't usually serious around this time anyways so if you want to be in one with someone then go for it, whether you think it'll last a month or a year. Now is the time to find yourself, later on things will get serious.

Natalie Parker that's very very dangerous. Especially for women who don't want that. Women in Africa and the Congo are forced to Bind to keep their "sexuality" pure.

Finding that perfect binder that's not too loose or too tight is like getting a firm hug that keeps the dysphoria away, at least for me. You look at the mirror and go "wow, that's me, I look amazing, I look like a dude". Sure it gets sweaty and you can't really do things that make you out of breath when you're wearing one, but it's totally worth it, every second. Bind safely everyone, remember to take deep breaths every now and then, don't bind for over 9 hours at a time, and don't sleep with your binder on. And stay strong.

[@brockachoo]

I wish I was more androgynous looking but part of me is scared to bind. I'm scared that I'll do it wrong or that there's long-term health risks.

[@princecproductions9531]

^^^Exactly. Also it's good to stretch your back and "crack" the bones in between your shoulder blades when wearing the binder. There's a way that I personally find easy to do, I'll explain it as best I can. Put your hands flat against a wall (with your finger tips facing inward) and your arms bent like you're doing a push up. They should be about shoulder width apart. Your body should be one or two feet away from the wall. Push your chest towards the wall, while pushing back with your shoulder blades. So far this method has only worked when I'm wearing my binder, but it does help.

[@carlthecuck432]

get a breast reduction?

[@justemma561]

That Devin guy is so attractive, wow! I'm glad people can be themselves and that this channel supports that!

[@CaraStrong13]

I'm a straight, natural female and I enjoy binding. I enjoy the female anatomy and think it's beautiful, but I feel better about myself when it seems I have no breasts at all. Kudos to people that do it everyday. It can feel very constricting sometimes

[@zorawaters6690]

i never thought about the ones who cant afford surgery before

[@veronicat5977]

Devin is such a babe wo

[@earthavi]

Ah thank you! Binding is painful and I am so hopeful for top surgery

[@lizziemmeyer]

Hi I'm sorry if this is offensive! But when wearing one like how do you do it? Sorry again in just confused on how? Like do you put it on then just not wear a bra? Thank you and I'm sorry if this is offensive

[@FelixFFern]

+Alex Tiedye Correct, they're worn on their own like an undergarment and then normal clothes on top.

[@lizziemmeyer]

+Nathus Dorkus thank you!

[@estherbjerga523]

I like binding and I'm as a straight cis female. It's not just trans and non-conforming people!

[@lookiehar]

+Esther Bjerga im pretty sure this video is to educate people about trans people who actually NEED to wear a binders, and not a video about someone who wears binders just cause they can.....

[@jessie3083]

By wanting to hide your beasts rather than wanting to excentuate them, you are non-conforming. It means to not do things by society's standards for what is considered ladylike, manly, normal,and so on.

[@estherbjerga523]

+TheShyCorona I agree with you and no one really "needs" binding anyway. Yes it makes some people more comfortable in their bodies but it's not really a need.

[@estherbjerga523]

+Jessica Byrd okay maybe I'm unconventional but I'm not gender non-conforming. I'm a woman, I participate in most female norms, I just like how my shirts hang when my chest is a little flatter.

[@jessie3083]

+Esther Bjerga I know I was mostly poking fun.

[@itzme6793]

I don't want to do my homework so imma just watch this

[@callialentz]

I love your name!

[@CazM]

thank you for this video, it is SO important for people who bind to hear from others their own experiences with binding and know the doubt, fear, shame, insurecity AND the confidence, surety, empowerment, and security they feel about binding is okay. it's okay to feel all those things at one time or another (and sometimes all at once) and know you're not alone.

[@nickyoung4541]

As a trans guy myself, I really appreciate this video being made. This video is great not only bc it educates people, but also because education and understanding can help to stop hate crimes. Most of the time hate crimes are due more to ignorance, and this video might just help people to understand the trans community a little bit more. Killin it buzzfeed, keep it up. 👍🏼

[@adriannon-binary79]

+Nick Young Trans guys unite ^^

[@calmfulspider]

i cant wait until im in college next year and can buy one of these :D

[@smellamyblake8352]

You can get one for free. There are a lot of companies that give away free used binders

[@calmfulspider]

yeah but i cant get stuff shipped to my parents house thats the problem googoodollsfan

[@smellamyblake8352]

TheLizzerd Have a friend that it could be shipped to

[@calmfulspider]

No I dont. :( which is why im just waiting until next year when im in college or if i get any giftcards for christmas and can tell my parents i bought stuff with them googoodollsfan

Which one is Devin?

[@devinnorelle1060]

thank you :)

[@frenchfry8696]

a binder that is pretty comfy in my opinion is gc2b ! they are made by nonbinary people, for nonbinary people. im glad that buzzfeed made a video about binding, because the last one included ace bandages which is a NO!! please bind safely everyone.

[@tanyacole7804]

Devin's surgical scarring is magical.

[@jjneyman4457]

Devon got me feeling some type of way

[@jewelsymom]

My heart goes out to anyone doing their best to be their authentic self. I am so sorry and ashamed at the recent backlash about trans people using the restroom they gender identify with. Anyone in the LGBTQ community please know there are MILLIONS of us that support you and do not in any way fear you. We welcome and want you in our lives, our communities, and our hearts.

[@0MGitsRayRay]

[@spark7570]

This is so sweet. It's rare that I see a comment so heartwarming and supportive. Thank you, Anna

[@crazystraw1144]

I got my boyfriend a binder this summer and he wears it everyday since and it he loves it sooo much. It makes my heart swell when he runs his hands across a flat chest and smiles. I love him so much.

[@SnailQueenForever]

I'm feel really weird right now... like, I'm a cis woman and yet I don't feel like one.. I have a more boyish personally and I wear binders cuz my breasts make my shirts stick out and people stare at my breasts. But then I'll have these moments were I'll put on dresses and feel like a princess. Like, idk what I am...

[@plastictree7635]

Anastasia Demkin genderfluid

[@thezodiackiller5848]

Anastasia Demkin I think you might be just not typically feminine.

[@user-uk1tl4ct9y]

same here. I identify as gender fluid personally, but you don't have to use a label, if you don't want to

[@moorooster223]

you could just be a female who isn't your stereotypical female. there's nothing wrong with being a masculine woman or a feminine man. I'd say just be yourself and don't over think it.

[@toonicetobeunreal]

I feel exactly the same! Sometimes I like to be very feminine, but many times I really enjoy to look boyish, and this video made me want a bind

[@michtan]

1:28 he remind me of Sam Pottorff

[@kelseylynn9]

omg true

[@danixxelle]

I was thinking Dom Deangelis

[@luludoll23]

Is Sam still alive ??

[@laureldominguez1023]

[@bbqbiscuit]

This video explained everything I have a hard time putting into words. It brought me to tears and I am so thankful for something like this.

[@MsHandballplayer]

the guy at 0:20 is good-looking as hell. Man, those eyes are gorgeous!

[@Regene4239]

Thanks for finally talking about ftm's and non-binary people!!! They don't get nearly enough media attention.

[@fancymustache200]

I was really happy when they mention non-binary they get the least attention. Even in the trans* community.

[@goirkens]

I don't know if this comment will get buried, but for everyone that sees this, I desperately need advice for my online friend. He is trans male and gets severe bouts of gender dysphoria. Right now, he uses 4 or 5 binders at once because he feels that using just one doesn’t make his large chest flat enough, and having only one on gives him a giant uni-boob blob. He’s at the point where he doesn’t care if it’s dangerous, but he’s willing to let me try to find a better option. He needs something that is affordable and fast enough to put on before work. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

[@oddooddood7677]

Make sure he gets the right size, if you have to small of a binder it'll gibe you the "uni boob" effect, sometimes even a push up bra. tell him to go up a size.

[@leafycatboy2799]

wearing a sports bra underneath a binder can get rid of the uniboob and help to flatten his chest a little more. it's not ideal, but it's way better than 5 binders at a time.

[@donovanfrye8661]

goirkens if he keeps using mire then one binder he's going to ruin his breast tissue and loose the chance to get top surgery.

[@dolltears9398]

Oh my god using multiple binders at once is so dangerous and it can damage his breast tissue and make it to where he can never get top surgery

[@shmoopy4265]

He is probably using the wrong binder. Or many have him try wearing a sports bra under a binder. If that dose not work, two sports bras. But make sure he is using the correct binder size please! I don’t want him to get hurt!

[@caityowl3752]

My mum refuses to let me bind even though I told her how much I need too. She only cares that she doesn't want me to change, not about how I feel.

[@mauve8556]

+Caityowl Iskawaii You just have to be patient and understanding. Shes from a different era and doesnt understand. She probably wants the best for you. It will get better. :D

[@shmoopy4265]

Tell her off. You are who you are and if she can’t accept you then why should you accept her? It is really sad when parents don’t accept their children. Try telling her that chest binding could prevent you from getting depression and anxiety. Binding dose help a lot of people from that if they are not comfortable with their own skin

[@taylor6402]

I'm planning to ask my mum for a binder after I come out as Polysexual and Non Binary

[@deer8teeth30]

Taylor Clifford what's polysexual?

[@silindemann102]

it's the attraction to multiple genders, pansexuality and bisexuality are the most common/most talked about forms of polysexuality but there are different ones as well

[@deer8teeth30]

Simon Thena thank you 😊

[@taylor6402]

Technically I identify as Pansexual, so it's not as hard to, explain what Polysexual is

[@thirzabollema1260]

Trash Good luck ❤ Be yourself and everything will be fine ❤

[@eyeles8887]

I started binding like, what, three weeks ago? It's great, my dysphoria definitely isn't as big now. My back hurts a lot and sometimes it's uncomfortable, but taking it off feels amazing.

[@kaitlynkelley9582]

[@miriamescobar6933]

I complain about my sports bra being to tight I can't imagine what this feels like.

oh man I've been binding for going on 4 years. I cant afford top surgery. Im glad to hear Im not the only one having to bind this long.

[@Biedronecqa]

haha everyone's just talking about how hot Devin is, yass 😁

[@fruitguzzi9122]

the fact that I wear my binder 24/7 and never take it off unless I need to take a shower because I never feel comfortable without my binder and dysphoria won't let me feel ok with my binder off and I dont wanna be reminded that I will never become a guy and I just want those things to disappear and feel like myself again and even if it's hurting my chest due to never take them off,I will just keep them on because I rather feel pain with my binder on then feeling more pain without my binder on,I sleep in my binder and rarely even take them off because I just can't stare into the mirror without my chest being flat or even feel them dingling around blah blah please don't do this it can break your ribs and hurt yourself,I will have to work at my dysphoria,binding and stuff and I know I need help about it,just please take a rest every 8 hours and take it off before sleep
