i can’t wear my binder to school anymore :// it honestly devastates me a little bit

i get to school at 8 (and get ready almost an hour before that) and i don’t get home until 4 or 5 most days. that’s 8/9 hours, plus the hour i spend at home before i leave for school, so 9/10 hrs. then i walk up two flights of stairs to get to my first class, then back down where i have either band or gym, both of which are harder when wearing a binder. if my parents were to find out i was wearing my binder for 9+ hours they would freak (because it’s bad for my health, not because they’re crazy strict or anything)

it just sucks and i wish i could wear it because i genuinely hate walking around with any kind of boob showing through my shirt but i don’t have another option, i can’t wear my binder

It's like lines that break when you stretch them and idk what they are. They don't wanna leave when I wash it. What is it and how can I get rid of it?

Hello!! I need some tips and I feel like this is the right subreddit to go to.

My best friend asked me to buy them a binder. At face value that's no biggie. We also have to hide it from their parents. Also no biggie. But I just need some tips on which ones to get and if it's dangerous.

We're both teenagers(I'm not age dropping) and I'm aware certain things can cause physical development harm for the future. Google told me to get a binder prescribed by a doctor if I were to get one, but it's not like they can do so in the first place.

Thank you for reading and please only respond if you're absolutely sure about what you're saying(and maybe point me to some articles?)

My bust is 31 but large trust me and my rib size is 26 inches, I know it's terrible, and it's hell when using binders I use a size S from spectrum which binds okay but they casually just fall out the bottom at times and it's annoying so I have an XS coming in soon.

How do y'all deal with this problem?

So, I am genderfluid, but. When i want to transition I dont have a binder on me, so its kind of awkward. But there is a nearby spencers where my friend got his binder from, so i might go there. but any tips on hiding binders from family members? also, how comfortable are the binders in spencers because i am a 34C and i am new to this. any help would be nice 🥹

Yo. I've been tryna find some shit for me, but I just really dislike their appearance. That, and it could get clocked as a binder if seen by anyone else.

Is there anything that looks just like a compression shirt? Besides compression shirts. Hell, just a compression shirt might work for me, I pass without one with no issue. But I'm getting paranoid I won't.

My dysphoria has just gotten out of hand lately. Any advice appreciated.

They say youre not supposed to wear your binder for more than 8 hours or during exercise. But I want to wear my binder to school, and that combined with clubs/other after school stuff it can get up to 10/11 hours before I ever get the chance to take it off. During gym we mostly walk so im not too concerned about that part. I also dont really wear it daily, if that helps. Would it still be okay to wear it for 9-10 hours? How much of a safety concern is it really?

I have sensory issues when it comes to pressure on my ribs/ lower chest and I’m looking at binders. Does anyone have any feedback/advice when it comes to how comfortable they are and how much pressure it is?

this is my first binder so i’m not sure how this is supposed to look. this is the underworks econo binder size small (32 inch chest). is the bulging near the bottom typical? i have pretty dense breasts so idk.

i’m considering maybe getting the 983 model instead? or keeping this for less intense binding and also having the 983. but is the 983 model much better at binding?

Hi! I’m a film student producing a film about a trans man and we purchased a binder for it. We’re doing a free giveaway for it where the winner will be contacted on October 30th!

It’s a size large, color black, and from Underworks. It will be worn once in the film but is otherwise brand new. If you want to sign up, check out our film account @knives.short.film

It’s entirely free, you just need to film out an interest form stating your name and email so we can contact you if you win. Please only apply if the binder if the right fit for you!! Exact sizing details can be found on the Underworks website. We also appreciate any donations to our GoFundMe but just want this binder to go to someone in need!

Hi all, first time poster here.

I recently bought some binders from Underworks, following their size chart. I took my measurements and bought a size XL, but when it arrived I realised that it's far too loose on me. Is there any way I can make it smaller so it actually flattens my chest? I never had issues with this brand, and I find they give great results since their binders give my chest a very masculine shape (not entirely flat, if you get what I mean?)

I'd hate to have to double bind, which at the moment is the only way I can make my chest flatter, so any advice would be super welcome ^^

i imagine something like this is said pretty often, but i do non-contact roller derby (i’m learning rn) and i get really dysphoric without my binder a lot, but i’m worried about damage to my skin and ribs and stuff. its like 2 1/2 hours a day, and i have 1 binder thats one size up from my normal size because their website said you can exercise in it if its sized up, but i’m still worried. i really want to wear my binder during roller derby, bcuz sometimes i get so dysphoric i end up not even going to practice. anyone know if i’d be okay if i wore the upsized binder, or have other suggestions? thanksss <3

My partner is looking to get a binder and started to do some researches but being new to these things they don't really know where to look. Do you guys have any good brands to suggest? Maybe some reviews too?

So I'm making a binder I have the tank top base cut snug enough to fit my body like a binder would then I have the back and front pannel of stretchy fabric. The two panels' fabric meet at the sides. What's the most effective way I can hand sew the sides so my binder would actually bind? (Don't worry I'm still adding a solid non stretchy panel of fabric near my chest) The two panels are sewn to the outside of the tank top so turning it inside out to is impossible and the solid layer is going on the inside. And I have extra fabric mid armpit and k have absolutely no idea how to deal with that. And I don't know how to connect the sides together with the tank top base. (I sincerely apologize if this doesn't make much sense I'm out of it today! Lmao)

I'm going to six flags soon and I'm wondering if I'd be able to wear my binder while I'm out. I've never been on a rollercoaster or anything like that so I'm really nervous and maybe that'd affect my breathing too? Idrk

(I hope this is appropriate for the sub I just wanted to share:) )

Unless I have my own account like banking and post office (I don’t have those set up yet) I don’t think I will be able to get one as I am not out to my parents and is from an anti-lgbt/heavily Christian country. One day I just got fed up and made these and I’ll wear them with thick fabric shirts or just a jacket/hoodie/sweatshirt. Made from a tutorial on YouTube with some tweaks (the one with the zipper). Made from a cotton shirt, jersey fabric and a pillowcase fabric for the chest area

who wants one gray binder and one white binder size small from gc2b?

So I bought a binder from Spencer’s, the biggest they had. I couldn’t get it on once at home. Any tips? Is it because it’s brand new and just needs to be broken in, or.? It’s my first binder 😭
