#FTM binder

rah help I need to replace my binder but I have no idea what to get

I currently have a spectrum one, but I've heard the quality's really gone down, so idk

[destroyerofgirls]

Don't get me wrong, I love your flat chest. You look so fucking handsome when you're flat. But I also like you to be breathing and alive and well.

So take off that binder, sweet boy. Do some stretches, get some water.

That's a good boy, 10 minutes baby. You're okay.

to tumblr’s trans people: I’m getting my first binder soon but I don’t know what brand to use. Which is your favorite? (I’m looking for something with a lot of compression)

If you’re cis and this shows up on your blog, PLEASE REBLOG FOR A BIGGER SAMPLE SIZE!

edit: I can’t change the poll, but after some research, it seems that gc2b’s binders are incredibly unsafe. Just want to put this here in case another trans guy is looking at this poll. Underworks seems to be the best option as far as I’ve seen from other people.

Thing I discovered while ✨shopping✨ with my boyfriend.

Spencer's sells packers. And binders for affordable prices. Once I save up some more money I'm gonna invest in a packer cause while I'm happy with my pre-installed equipment, having a bulge would be fun

I often see posts asking about different places to get binders. Therefore, I have decided to make a list of different sites where you can buy binders. Hope this helps someone.

Starboy, back at it again

You look mighty fresh,

Young and sparkling in the Rollarena lights

A purple star on your cheek,

Right near a freckle

Glitter under your eyes

Hair fresh and bleeding with purple sweat

Chest tightly compressed

Face red

You look mighty fine

In that shirt

And you know it

Head held high as you fall,

Under the disco lights

Laughing, you can’t skate for anything

Your friends whizz by with gleaming eyes

Another messy star

Right below your shimmering collarbone

Look at you, you shine

Chest tightly pressed against itself

You look mighty weak,

Coughing up a lung

Scarlet faced and dismissive

Her hoops have aliens in the middle

They seem like they’re laughing

She’s looking at you,

Expectantly,

And you laugh,

And it’s hard to, with your lungs bound so tight.

And you look dazzling when you tell her,

You’re fine.

You tried to lie,

“I’m not even…”

You stop.

She tells you it’s bad for you

You wave your hand and laugh

“It’s bad for you to keep pushing”

Her concern gets lost in the din

Everyone’s laughing

But now you feel it

When you couldn’t before

Your makeup looks worse in the bathroom lights

Your ribs hurt more when you’re not laughing.

And you want to rip off the planets,

That are sticking defiantly to your chest

Still you shimmer in your euphoria

At home, where lights are brighter

You look mighty worn,

Not fresh

Sweat blurs the stars,

You’re asleep on your feet

And your postures jacked

Protecting your rib cage

From yourself

And you look at him in the mirror

And you see him,

shimmering

Beautiful

Naked

You feel shame for a moment

Why should you?

You’re just as you want to be.

Cold water hits your sweaty red skin

Gradually warming

Till the stars wash off

Binder Review by me :

For reference. I’m like a b/c cup in bras and typically a medium or large in binders

GC2B - 5/10 it was the first binder I ever tried. Didn’t use it for very long, fabric was uncomfortable and it felt hard to breath it

Spectrum Outfitters - 8/10 I’ve had the same binder from them for 2.5 years now. It surprisingly still binds super well and there aren’t any frays in the seams. My only complaint is that when you first get it, the fabric is stiff and uncomfortable, but that’s expected

Wonobabi - Brand is overall 7/10, have tried numerous

The side zip binder - 2/10 was super uncomfortable for me and was a sensory nightmare. Hated this one so badly

The full length binder - 9/10 in love with these ones. They’re more comfortable than most short length imo. They’re easier to breath in, and they appear more as a tank top undershirts yk.

Flavnt racer back - 7/10 I really wanted to love this one, especially bc of the price. I think it would be good for those with bigger chests, but for me, it didn’t sit right nor bind. It’s more of a slightly compressing sports bra, and idk it just feels weird

Phluid from Spencer’s - 7/10 I really like how this one binds. It’s tight and uncomfortable until you wear it a couple of times. I wish I’d love this one more, but it’s falling apart already unfortunately.

Overall:

I think my personal favorite is the Wonobabi full length. They’re comfortable, secure, and do a good job at binding. They’re last a decent amount of time.

So I have posted quite a few bulge pics. Thought I would do a few comparison pics for using my binder. So first, some pictures when I don't have my binder or bra on:

Now some pictures of me with @ bra on:

And finally pictures with my binder on:

I actually feel like it make quite a difference! Looking pretty flat, especially for a fat guy.

[glurblr]

I wish I could bind for longer or go out in my binder but one time I walked for 15 mins wearing it and I was in pain so never again.

[wedielike-insertcharacter]

Trying to make chest binders for my friends but my sewing machine WON'T FUCKING COOPERATE.

I fear I may have to hand sew some of the bits 😔

[jaydenssocool]

a lil comic I made after I touched my wet binder

I needed to wash it. I hadn't washed my binder in months ToT then I hung it up to dry and later it was cold and wet.

[the-transgenda-agenda]

I was looking at the comments on a video I made several years ago and a binder company apparently wanted to collaborate with me. I replied that I couldn't at this point. Damn I wish I saw that shit sooner.

[fennec-sucks]

I've been binding for 12 hrs and fell asleep in it for like an hr

I should probably stop
