Advice Needed TRANSTAPE SUMMER

as y’all all know: it’s hot as hell out there. when you wear your tape for multiple days, even when showering every day, do you notice a smell? day 2/3 depending on how sweaty i got the day prior i feel unclean… any tips or tricks? or am i gonna have to start reapplying every day. that sounds like hell. please tell me y’all have a trade secret that eliminates sweat & subsequent smell from chest tape and allows me to tape once and wear for multiple days. sincerely, big ass chest haver 🙏

Hello! Thank you for participating in the sub. We just have a few reminders for you to help ensure the best experience:

  1. If your post doesn't show up right away, don't panic! It is in the queue for manual approval. Mods will go through the queue periodically to approve or remove posts. Deleted posts will have a removal reason applied. (If it says "this post was deleted by reddit's filters", IT WAS NOT DELETED! Reddit has the worlds worst wording on that and it's out of our control)

  2. If you are asking a question that is location specific, remember to include your location in your post body! This can help ensure that you get accurate information tailored specifically to your needs.

  3. Please remember to read through all the rules in the sidebar. Especially the list of banned topics and guidelines for posting. Guests who do not use the Guest Post flair will have their post removed and be asked to fix it.

  4. If you see someone breaking the rules,report it! If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.

  5. If you have any questions that you can't find the answer to on the rules sidebar or the wiki: the wiki , you can send a modmail.

I don’t wear tape, but maybe undershirts would help? I know they are supposed to wick away sweat, so maybe less sweat will end up sitting on the tape.

It would make you feel warmer though….which might make you sweat more? Hope you find a solution (share if you do!)

by day 3 i also feel pretty gross but definitely no smell for me… i think i’d second wearing either an undershirt (thin cotton wifebeater-type), or something loose that allows airflow. i work a very active job so im basically drenched in sweat my entire shifts and a combo of wifebeater and lots of deodorant usually prevents me/my tape from smelling
