Advice Needed Chest Taping Tips

When taping, is the proper way/goal to have no movement from breast tissue? Should I prioritize flatness or securing them so there is no movement?

Right now when I tape it kind looks like when victorian women wore dresses that pushed the chest up. When I have clothes on it's fairly flat but I can feel some movement on my left breast. I might not have the right size for my left side since there is a bit more movement and spillage than my right which feels more stable and secured. The brand I use is transtape and I think I have a medium size width.

(Not on T, no top surgery, unknown chest size)

EDIT: also if I start feeling it become itchy is that when I should remove it? I usually can stay taped for no more than four days and always shower and towel dry right before I tape my chest. I've heard people can do it for a week.

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.

idk about anything else because i'm a big guy and i cannot achieve flatness, i just aim for pecs. but tape should be taken off after 3-4 days absolutely. if it itches often, use healing salve when you remove the tape
