BINDING: Minimizing The Appearance Of Those Two Bumps

Last Updated: 03/18/2008

Binding is the act of using special tight shirts to minimize the appearance of breasts and give the illusion of a male chest.

I never really binded, being Asian, I inherited the Asian sized chest (huzzah!!!). Furthermore, binding is terribly itchy, hot, and inconvenient. I used a sports type undershirt that was tight enough to flatten some but not tight enough to kill my air supply. Ace bandages are strongly discouraged since they're known to cause breathing problems, chest pains, bone bending and other undesirable things.

Underworks.com is the best place to buy binders, they're accustomed to FTM customers and are more than happy to help and answer questions. For used binders at a good price, try thetransitionalmale.com.
