Guys, don’t get too angry at this person, they didn’t know.

[alekcommentary]

after i saw all these comments, i can tell people dont know actually ANYTHING about binders. yes, it is kinda dangerous because it may deform your chest and your ribs, but it wouldn't if you don't wear it more than 8 hours.

[nsmna_]

i genuinely dont care if this is dangerous
I'd rather be in pain than have to keep seeing these damn bazoonkas

[brybry_.]

ATTENTION!! This may not be the most favorable binder, BUT it isn’t as dangerous as it may seem! As with any binder, if you don’t wear it for over 8 hours, then it’s completely fine!!

[ripmy_creativity]

just a reminder dont wear them for too long
some of yall in the coments saying "DONT DO THIS" but as long as you are sensible and dont wear them for more than a couple hours at a time you should be fine

[Lenix-nz]

does- does no one know ANYTHING about i mean, yea, they can hurt you if you wear them too long, or sleep in them, or exercise in them (been there done that, not a good idea), but if you bind safely (not sleeping in it, only wear for 7-8 hrs, have 2 rest days ect) they arent harmful-

If you can’t afford a binder their are some sources that give out free binders

[MoxxarellaCheese]

hello! You can absolutely do this ^^ but please don’t wear in for more than 3 hours .. it can really hurt you, it will start to be uncomfortable, and if you continue to wear it longer than what recommended, your rips and chest coulr become deformed and cause heart / lung / liver problems :(( stay safe yall ! ^^

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT DO THIS CAN SERIOUSLY HURT YOUR BODY AND LEAD TO PERMANENT DAMAGE!!!!

if you want to get a binder but can’t afford one or come out please consider alternatives (i’ll list a few at the end of this comment) please please please just don’t diy a binder or use bandages, binding unsafely can actually make it much more difficult or even impossible to get top surgery later in life.

if making your own binder is your ONLY option (and that’s the only time you should even consider doing it) PLEASE research into how to make one safely rather than following a youtube short, and bind safely no matter what.

I know how painful dysphoria is, believe me, but i promise that you will only regret binding unsafely in the long run. some alternatives, as promised, include, but are not limited to:
- doubling up on sports bras, with one backwards
- wearing compression bras
- layering tank tops/undershirts beneath your shirt
- athletic compression shirts (say it’s for sports or something)
- working out to build chest muscles in order to make them look like pecs rather than yk
- wearing baggier clothing in general
- a combination of the options listed above

and finally, slightly riskier and not the best for younger people, but there are sites, groups, etc, that allow you to get free used binders.

please stay safe. I know you’ve heard it dozens of times before but it *will* get better eventually. laws and leaders come and go, time passes, I promise you that you will not be in your current situation forever. eventually, even if it takes years, you will be comfortable in your skin, you will be happy, you will be okay, there is *hope.* that’s worth more than anything else in the world.

I think I may do this with some tweaks once I find a clearer video until I get a chest binder which should be hopefully in a few months, even better yet; get my binder on Christmas from my mom or guardian!

[ratboi]

Thankss this was like the best video I could find that acc works and isnt super painful :)

[Wet_Smell]

This person single handedly put half the population of people who want smaller chests in actual danger. Delete this.

[CalTa]

PLEASE DONT DO THIS.
It could damage your ribcage/nerves and in some cases, cause damages that prevent you from getting top surgery!!

Here are some alternatives:
Wearing 2 sports bras, one the right way and the other backwards.
Be mindful of the size of the bras and your cup size, if it gets uncomfortable TAKE IT OFF.
there’s also a tutorial called “how to make a chest binder :D (safe binding for FTM/Transmasc/Nonbinary)” that I think would help if you have the time and material shown in that video<3

[Wet_Smell]

Don’t do this y’all it’s very dangerous

[Catsaretoogoodtobetrue]

YALL DONT DO THIS BUY A NORMAL ONE MADE BY PROFESSIONALS

[NAa_T]

SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO MAKE A BINDER IM CRYING I CANT BUY ONE OR GET ONE I GOT 1 TANK TOP AND ONE SPORTS BRA THAT IS GOOD PLS HELP

[V_actor]

As someone who is afraid to come out to their parents as gender fluid and gender flux… idk wut to do anymore. (How is this dangerous, I’m considering doing this as my cup size is… more than how I want it to be for most sports bras to work)

[owlmage]

No expert on binders but I know this:
NEVER EVER wear a binder that has any kind of clasp or in general any kind of connector(zipper, clasp, any opening, hope that makes sense) Pretty sure it can make the pressure uneven in some way and really fuck things up.
PLEASE please please be careful and do your research before attempting to make your own binder, please stay safe out there ❤️🫂

[Froggy_Ons]

Are people dumb? This isn’t dangerous unless you wear it for more then 8 hours

[WWIIHISTORY-ed]
