I'm turning 44 in a couple days. I look forward to the time I don't have to bind. I have my first appointment with the endocrinologist the day after my birthday. Hopefully I'll be getting my T prescription then.

Flavnt Streetwear is a trans clothing company that has binders with racer backs so they are perfectly hidden under tanks and they also are awesome for swimming! Also I am a HUGE fan of TRANS TAPE. My favorite way to bind because it's like you aren't wearing anything under your shirts!

You can also look for medium compression sports bras (the Nike Pro line is great). One of those paired with the right loose fitting shirt looks almost the same as a binder for many people. That was my workout/hiking/active option when I was around people I was more comfortable with.

Thanks for the tips! Binding in Texas summer heat is tough, especially on really humid days. Gonna definitely try the baby wipe thing this summer and see if it helps me not develop the crazy eczema under the binder. 😊

I use trans tape while swimming and also I used 2 training sports bras to swim and I felt really comfortable. Also dont be afraid of being yourself and if friends dont accept it they never were your friends in the first place. Hope this helped and have fun this summer and stay safe😁😁😁

Also heat-wise: if you’re able to, there’s at least one brand that makes mesh binders that are breathable. I used to wear the one by Double Design, available on Amazon.* 🙂 *Works best on smaller to medium bodies.

I used to wear a tight under tank over my binder and then a muscle tank. You will see some NBA players do this so for me even though it was an extra layer it completely covered my binder.

I could only go Swimming wearing a regular binder AND a Swimming binder AND a t-shirt in order for it not be visible. I just said I needed to wear a Shirt because I sunburn easily. A lot of People say tapes in the comments but that wasn't an Option for my size, although my chest got a LOT smaller after working out, losing weight, binding and testosterone, but it still wasn't small enough for that. Another tip: wear surfer Shirts/ swim Shirts, they're designed for getting wet so they won't be as heavy and clingy as regular T-Shirts. Some can be quite tight and if you're small enough, it might just look like you have awesome pecs!

Having been wearing my binder for so long it amazes me to not have done these tricks, but now im at a point that wearing my binder in general brings me back pain constantly, so staying inside a lot this summer until im approved for surgery in a few months (hopefully). Dont be discouraged or sad to have to not "summer" it up all season, listen to your body and be safe yall (:

I would go out for swimming, but I would probably end up getting dysphoria from it. Since I do not have an extra binder, the last time I wore a shirt and it pretty much got soaked, it pretty much showed everything when I came out of the water. I just felt like everyone's eyes were on me and silently judging me. :/

I remember buying a binder for my NB friend GC2B btw they asked for a extra small and my size is a medium because I have my own binder and they are taller and have a bigger build then me so I brought them the size bigger then mine and did measurements I told them extra small is too small and when that binder came in I brought a xxxl hoodie so they could take a break from wearing the binder when I gave it to them they were soo happy and their eyes lit up best thing in the world to see them that happy

Brad Monroe I wore the largest GC2B binder for quite a while. I’d wear it daily and to swim. When swimming I wear a sleeveless swim shirt over the binder. Doing this may help you be able to swim. Now that I’m one size smaller than their largest size, I have one binder for daily wear and use their largest size for swimming and working out. I still wear my swim shirt over the binder. It makes me more comfortable.

Baby powder helps a ton, tri-top half-length instead of full length, and if you have a small chest KT tape to bind. There are also swim binders, and you can try different types of binders.. like clips velcro etcetera, because putting on/ taking off a binder while wet really difficult.

Plzz do not swim with a normal binder! It can cous sirious hatm to your ribs and if that happens your chance of ever etting top surgery wil drasticly lower.

Depends on what a "normal" binder is. With gc2b binders e.g. it is possible to swim in them. But it is important to take precautions. Gc2b suggests to size up for swimming to give you a little more space in them.

There is no difference in being dry or wet with a binder. Being in the water is not going to increase your chances of hurting your ribs. My ribs dont hurt and I've wore binders for over 2 years. Yeah it hurt at first, but once u get used to it, it's not painful.

I have been dying in my binder. Texas summers are the worst! I just discovered transtape and it's insane how well it works. Doing bmx in the summer while wearing a binder meant my sessions always got cut short because I'd overheat with the extra layer. Now with tape, I can go as long as i want. I haven't felt this euphoric about my body since I got my first binder.

I wear fruit of the loom cotton sports bras under my binders. I don't fit well into binders already so I wear them underneath to "catch" everything spilling out. It helps with the longevity of the binder too. It's just awkward going to the bra section of Wal-Mart.
