#binder alternative

sooooo… who’s in?

It's more of a bralette or sports bra and it doesn't have any padding or specific shape, it's entirely flat, but it's made out of higher quality materials than i could otherwise afford and it's custom made to my measurements. Because of the stretchiness of the jersey fabric i chose, the flat shape of the pattern and because i was able to choose my exact measurements, i was even able to get a bit of a binding effect without actually binding my chest!! This is huge for me because i can't use actual chest binders or tape for disability reasons. (Don't try this yourself unless you are familiar with pattern making and know how much you can safely alter your measurements and patterns!)

It's got push buttons on the front and it takes me only one hand to close those and for taking the bra off i can pretty much just rip it off. It's so amazingly easy and i don't have to worry about accidentally dislocating half my arm joints when i put it on.

-thank GOD i read every detail abt it bc YES if you over stretch the tape, IT WILL RIP YOUR SKIN. also patch test first. i didn't but its on the instructions and you should. don't be me. -doesn't quite feel as flat as a binder but i think its actually gives more of a natural pec look -its uncomfortable (at first) in its own way just like a binder is uncomfortable in its own way too -it took me 5 tries to figure out how to place it right and for a roll thats not very big, it did feel like a bit of a waste -once i got it right; GENDER EUPHORIA!!

but overall i think i'd just get a large roll of KT tape bc it does the same thing and you get more for your buck idk

(SOME ADDITIONS)

Nice find! That’ll be a huge help for a lot of people, thank you so much!
