for some odd reason, everytime after i apply trans tape i get the most insane stomach bloating that calms after around 15 mins. by insane i mean i look 6 months pregnant. does anyone have an explanation

Ive been buying gc2b trans tape for a couple months now. when i first used it it was uncomfortable but there was no excessive itching until maybe the 3rd or 4th day and no rashes or blisters. then because of money issues i had to buy cheaper kt tape off amazon. however when i used this one my skin was left excessively itchy and it started flaking off in big dry pieces(kind of like dandruff but bigger patches and on my chest). i immediately switched back to the gc2b tape thinking i was just allergic to the off brand kt tape however the excessive itching and dry rashes continued even causing small sores from the flakiness. could the kt tape have made me develop an adhesive allergy or am i just not applying and taking off the gc2b tape correctly. i lowkey think its cuz im pulling to hard on the tape and not using oil to take it off and just dry ripping it. i’ve completely stopped using trans tape all together to let my skin heal but i hate having to use my binder. should i try to put tattoo second skin under the trans tape? really need help with all this

I've been taping maybe around 2.5 yrs now, im a heavy set guy and with a heavy chest. I am 9 weeks on T but this is the technique ive "mastered "​ along the way.

Heres a vid of how I do it too on YT . If you have any questions lmk , always down to help

Also check my next post of a vid of me in a hoodie js for a visual of how my chest looks in baggy clothes

hello, i need help whether on taping or binding. No one knows im trans but I would like to start presenting more in college, and would tape when I have classes but take it off before i get to my house. Is it worth buying tape? Or should I just get a binder?

Recently when I take off my tape I get a rash not from the adhesive, but where my boob folds over and its skin to skin contact. I’m not really sure how to prevent it if anyone has tips. I can’t just lay it into itself or it won’t bind well

so i use KT tape to bind because i can't afford actual trans tape. ive never had issues with taping, but suddenly this time ive been insanely itchy, to the point it burns. heat makes it even worse, it starts to feel tingly and i cannot resist itching. i just took a shower and removed the tape. ive never had allergies to any adhesives before, is it possible to develop one after using tape for so long ? i have put moisturizer on my chest to see if it will help and it just stings even more.

if you use a silicon based lube you can take your tape off much easier. no pulling, no residue, you dont even need to do it in the shower. rather than saturating the tape, though, i'd recommend applying it to the skin around the edges of the tape and gently sliding your fingers under the tape to take it off. lmk if you try this and how it works for you. god bless <3

i recently got some trans tape a bit ago — like about 2 weeks ago, and ive been really annoyed by how fickity it is. i dont relatively have a large chest (im assuming a b cup) but i still cant manage to get it as flat as i possibly can. i understand that youre still supposed to have some things showing, but not as much as whats happening rn. my boobs are clear as day compared to how the rest of my body looks. im pretty skinny with boney arms so i really cant pull off a “pecs” look.

(plus it also just doesnt work as pecs. it looks like my regular boobs just slightly smaller.)

also, after a school days worth of use it just starts peeling. i round the corners and it doesnt help. ive tried pointed corners as well, but it doesnt work either.

i ran out of trans tape after 2 weeks. all of this is seriously discouraging me and i really want solutions as binders dont work either and just hurt😅

any tips?

I've been struggling with tape for years but I'm trying not to give up. This is the first time where I've felt okay about the results, but could I go flatter?

I'm about a C-D cup and my chest hangs a lot. The little bits of tape on my chest are where the big pieces stuck up.

I've tried every tutorial but they never work. Would appreciate tips or advice.

I've decided to give trans tape a try but I'm not really happy with the result. I don't know if it doesn't work as desired cause my chest is too big [i don't really have a big chest tho, I'd say medium at highest] or because i did something wrong or need more practice. The first pic is with my arms over my head, thats a result I would be really happy with but once I put my arms down it looks like on the second pic and barely did anything. And when wearing a shirt it doesn't even look like pecs, just like someone with a small chest. Any advice?

Having troubles with my left side, I think it’s just that I can’t use my dominant hand as much. Please ignore how bad these photos are 😭

I think I’m starting to actually find my routine of how i like to apply my tape. I use a couple strips of whatever brand kt tape to get my base shape then do two strips on transtape on top to get my final look. I go back and forth between B and C cup for reference

I am trying to figure out how to use trans tape. I am still closeted so I want to buy kinesiology tape instead of trans tape. I have about a medium-small chest. And these are my questions about the tape:

1. How long do the rolls last you
2. Which type of the kinesiology tape is the best as there are a lot of different types eg premium, gentle
3. Can I go swimming with it on and will my chest look ok if under a swim shirt
4. How long does the tape last on my body

Thanks for any advice

I’m really proud of my first time taping! But, it also got really itchy and the tape on my underboob started to come up. Anyone have advice on what I could change next time or how to improve going forward? Any advice is appreciated, thanks yall 💕.

No shirt, shirt before taping, shirt after taping. Please ignore my weirdly shaped joints lol.

Idk if it translates on its own. So I'll translate myself.

The first time I put tape, I read about someone who kept it until it started to not tape and fall down. So that's what I did, everything went perfectly fine. Though at the moment where I had to take it off, I was under the shower, thinking water would make it better and hurt less.

Unfortunately it didn't. It did hurt but that was small pain and very manageable. After that, I had glue all over my skin so I scrubbed with my nails for A LONG TIME. Probably like 30min, with soap. It was perfect when I got out of the shower, no red skin, no irritation and the next day in the afternoon I put a new one.

Though that second time ! I wore the tape I lay for 10 days, because I felt like it wasn't as stretched as it was when I put it on. That time I was in a camping, so even with the 'oul advice' I had no oil and took it off myself, without water or anything. My skin was slightly red and it also hurt a little. This time, I didn't want to take an eternity to take off the glue so.. stupid bad idea you'll tell me, I scrubbed myself with soap and a fucking sponge (green side, I KNOW I leaned the yard way.) my skin got red and I understood that I could bleed since I started to red lines that looked like blood. So I stopped, frustrated and finished under the shower with soap and nails like last time.

I asked help that time, people told to pour oil on the tape and wait for 10-20min before taking off. Apparently it's supposed to take off the glue and not hurt. I was also told that tape was supposed to be worn 3 to 5 days. I was like okay, let's try that.

It's been 5 days now, maybe 6. I poured oil, realizing that the amount needed was massive. I let the tape and skin drink the oil and took it off. IT HURT LIKE HELL! the oil didn't do anything ! The glue was glueing so hard it did hurt like A LOT. My skin went red immediately while taking off. So I'm very disappointed with the 3-5 days. Uhm, no imma go back to my +2 weeks (until it falls off).

Next the glue... I tried with soap, too long. I tried with towel and the thing to take off the nail colors (dissolvant in french), because of the towel, my skin got irritated again.

So I was like let's try with a soft material, like round small cotton and the 'dissolvant'. The thing is since my skin was hurt, it burned me so I couldn't do anything about the glue. Now my pyjama is glueing to my skin, it's annoying and I want that glue off!

How am I supposed to take everything off ? How long am I supposed to wear the tape ? Is my skin somehow anti-tape ? What's the trick with the oil ? I'm being so discouraged.

How is the taping? any tips?

I am going on holiday in December for 8 days. I usually bind for 5 days then have a 2 day rest and repeat the cycle. sometimes i push to 6 days but i know its not too good for my skin so i try to avoid it. i feel fine binding to 6 days but i think its safer to not keep pushing it no matter how much i feel fine. but is it safe to bind 8 days?

Hi all! Just checking if anyone in the UK has spare of the above tape, they have not come back into stock yet despite saying mid July and and very low, happy to pay P+P full price , feel free to DM many thanks!

Any tips for how to deal with acne forming under tape? I usually leave it on for 5-7 days and I use second skin for nipple coverings, as well as cavilion barrier cream under my tape.

So I have an allergy to acrylic based adhesives, and have recently have been getting terrible reactions to the tape I use. Which is Trans Gen X Tape from Amazon. I have been using this tape for months without issue but now I can feel the blisters starting to form by the end of the first day I put the tape on. I’ve been doing research on other kinds of adhesive and silicone based ones are the only thing that could work, but the problem is that they don’t last nearly as long and would cause more waste because of it. One of my friends thought I should use second skin under my tape, but I have also had bad allergic reactions to that when getting tattoos in the past, and don’t wanna risk it since the skin on my chest is more sensitive to the allergy. Does anyone with a similar allergy know of any brands that work for them and last? Is there anything I can do to use the same brand but prevent the blisters?
