#tape binding

Thanks for excuse to doodle

I do get tired when I see popular trans solidarity art and they always depict the transmasc person/character fully passing with top scars slapped on, EVERYTIME. and while this isn't an inherently negative or problematic thing, I do get a feeling of being left out or just not really acknowledged, well because I kinda understand!

depicting trans men/masc folks with breast can be seen as "taboo" or "confusing" for some trans folks but the reality is that we just, exist... we're real people too.

I'ill be honest and say I get tired of the default trans man image being skinny-muscular guy who already got his top surgery. and anyone else who looks different from that is a nasty transtrender or whatever transmed garbage people spew. trans men/masc can be fat, and or curvy too, but I feel like people are terrified to acknowledge that over the fear of being labeled a fetishsizer. truthfully as a trans person no matter what people will label you as negative shit so you gotta push through the fear. it's why I draw what I draw.

THIS TAPE SUCKS

it hurts and ripped off some of my skin

DO NOT GET TRANS TAPE FROM AMAZON

[sapphiccanadian]

told my mum I wanted to try trans tape (I even found Canadian brand that's pretty cheap for tape) and she said she had to think about it

keep your fingers crossed for me, y'all

@ trans people who tape their chest with trans tape or any kind of KT tape really- if you have that fucking annoying residue of adhesive--

Try Baby oil- seriously it worked so much better than the fucking sunflower oil i use- my baby oil was scented like almonds(?) So now i even smell good! And my brain just went "well if its good for bby skin- then it good for adult skin!"

Fuck yea. Praise the 2am ideas!

TAPE REVIEW

i bought it on Wivov, there were very few reviews because appearently it's a pretty new website, so i thought i might make a post about this for other transmascs and tape users to know about it.

it costed 13 euros + 7 of delivery, and it arrived about two weeks after i ordered it

the package was very discrete, and small, so it could be literally anything and it's not suspicious at all

they only had skinny models with small chests in the images, so i was afraid it was not gonna work on me since i dont have a small chest, but i was pleasently surprised: (images under the cut, where the post continues) (cw, im only wearing tape and pants in the next pictures)

this is me wearing the tape, as you can see i dont look flat at all, but the point of binding is NOT to look flat, rather to shape your chest in a way that makes you feel more comfortable!

Anyway, once you put clothes on...

...it really changes the way you feel.

anyway, i should warn that my skin didnt react very well to the glue, especially on my right side, where the tape left some irritations and i think it tore away a little piece of skin? it's not very clear in the pictures but it's pretty itchy

im kinda disappointed that i didnt take more pictures while wearing it cuz i felt pretty cool :)

there are 4 colors to choose from and i picked the lightest one which, as you can see, is the one that blends the most with my skintone

i wouldnt recommend wearing it for more than 8 hours if you have sensitive skin, but i would say test it on a little bit of skin before you put it on

take a shower when you wanna take it off, the warm water will make it easier, and use oils or a moisturazing cream or something

i will update if the need arises

byee :D

Hhhh I tried tape binding again with some adhesive barrier prep pads recently and it was working great at first, but then my skin decided to throw a fit and give me adhesive burns

[evolvedclown]

getting a good tape bind and just wearing a tank over it or sleeping shirtless is the most euphoric thing i’ve ever experienced in my life.

Trans tape tips (I’m not an expert, I just can’t compression bind due to medical issues)

-use your T shot rubbing alcohol supply to disinfect the area before taping (especially good if you don’t have reliable shower access)

-perfume on the skin messes up the adhesive (not that I’m speaking from experience.. haha…)

-exfoliate a LOT between tapes

-chapstick works in a pinch to un-tape

-if you’re big, don’t be afraid to change your tape strategy if you’re working off of skinny guys tutorials. Experiment doing UP and to the side instead of down.

-and finally, don’t bother with bandaids on your nips. Ends up more expensive in the long run for me. Just fold over a piece of the tape so the adhesive connects to itself and use that.

I use both TransTape and regular KT sports tape. TransTape is wider and now is more comfortable, but when I first started using it, it was EXTREMELY adhesive to the point that it was very difficult to take off and would sometimes take off small pieces of skin. I used it for awhile, switched to KT and then started using it again so im not sure if my skin changed or if I just got more used to the tape.

make sure you tape safely, to my knowledge its not as dangerous as binding but it is possible to do it too tight. it has the potential to cause blisters and take off skin if you're not careful.

What's the best trans tape to use? Cause I'm thinking to try it, but idk if there's one that's better than another and such. Thx!

i havent used it, but ive heard good things about transtape(like the brand)
