#binder
Thanks to retweets and a pair of generous folks, I can give away a Halloween binder!! Check the site to enter the draw, I’ll roll it at 6pm
Where to get preloved binders - for free
Canadians: GenderGear https://www.gendergear.ca/products/preloved-binders-1?variant=12230980501584 unfortunately, as of Oct 8 2018 they are out of stock and requiring donations. Gender Gear is a great company that I have interacted with in the past
USA: FTM Essentials https://www.ftmessentials.com/pages/ftme-free-youth-binder-program they are taking applications now for persons under the age 24, not sure about their response time, but I have bought items from their parent company Early2Bed, and they are great
International: Point of Pride https://pointofpride.org/chest-binder-donations/ I only recently heard about the organization, but they seem Awesome. They are taking requests now, once again, I don’t know about their response rate
I’m going to be doing a series of posts going through my prompt book from the last show I did and explain my process and prompt books in general. I’d love feedback to see if people are interested in seeing more!
One of the most important aspects of the prompt book is the binder itself. I love these rubber binders from Staples because they are very durable which helpful for the amount of time you use the binder during the show. I generally like to keep my blocking script and calling script in the same binder so it’s crucial my binder stays together throughout the process.
I like the white binders, however, they come in a variety of colors and sizes depending on preference and script size. I recommend sizing up in binder size if you’re unsure as I always have more than one copy of the script in the binder as well as the rest of my paperwork.
These binders come with and without an inner pocket, but I like having it as a quick storage space in the binder. If it gets in the way of writing I simply use my clipboard I keep in my SM kit so I find that not to be a problem. I find it super useful to keep binder hole reinforcements so I am always prepared in case a page rips.

***RETWEET TO SPREAD THE WORD***
Guys, we’re in the last 24 hours get your entries in now or you might miss out on a wonderful opportunity. Join the giveaway here http://whats-a-trans.tumblr.com/post/144096179993/chest-binder-giveaway
Good luck!
I’ve noticed that one of the main reasons that people are putting for why they need a binder is that they can’t pay for one themselves. While putting this doesn’t effects your chances of winning. There can still only be one so not everyone’s going to win.
For those that don’t, I wanted to make this post informing you of a wonderful website called Swagbucks. It’s a paid survey website and before you stop reading it actually works. In fact that’s where I got the money to even run the giveaway. I’ve only been seriously using it for about 3 months and have made over $185(I used it here and there and made $18 in about 5 months)
Now I have to warn you that you won’t be making that much automatically but if you stick with it and use it everyday even for a month you can have enough to buy a new binder and much more. It’s one of the best ways I’ve found out there to make money especially if you don’t have a job or are too young to get one.
All you have to do is sign up with this link:
http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/whatsaphan
and you’ll get an extra 300SB = $3 after you make your first 300 (which doesn’t take long at all) and you’ll have $6 right there.
It’s one of the best things that you can do for yourself. Just stick with it. I’d recommend trying to get to level 3 on CrowdFlower(under the task section in answers) as I’ve managed to make at least $60 from there alone in 2 months time.
If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask me. Just send me a message and I’ll get back to you. Now go, go buy yourself that new binder or packer or pack of boxers!
P.S. It will ask you for your gender. As will most of the surveys you take (some have an “other” option) I put the one I identify as aka male. (Sorry to all my NB folks, it makes you choose.)
P.S.S. To all my younglings(under 18) I don’t think I’m supposed to say this but you may want to “update” your birth date. And keep it consistent across all the surveys you take. You might want to write down your information that may not be 100% authentic so you don’t forget. But you didn’t hear it from me.
The struggle of trying to get into a brand new binder after a shower
Oh no.
I wore a binder today. And it felt… right. Oh shit. FUCK
I don’t know what to do with this information. Probably nothing :))))
The only person who should have binders full of women is Captain Jack Harkness.
Any transmasculine people in dire need of a binder but either can’t afford one or don’t have access to get one?
It’s my goal to help one person a month get a binder, now that I can afford it, so please send me a message if you’re in need.

The past is gone it’s all been said
So here’s to what the future brings
I hope tomorrow you find better things

help with gc2b binder giveaway
Hi! So i’m trying to host a binder giveaway on tiktok (@ frogbunnyboi if you wanna check it out or enter) but i can only afford to give one good quality binder so far. This is fine, but i’m getting quite a few submissions and i’d love to be able to buy more people binders too.
I need some help raising money to buy more binders, so if anyone out there would like to help, please donate to my paypal ([email protected]), buy something from my etsy shop (FrogBunnyArt), or boost! Thank you so much!
Goal: £75/100 by May 1st 2021
Packer Review!
Hey all! So today I got something in the mail and I thought I’d share my opinion with you!
So I ordered a lightweight packer. It is from BulletBriefs. This is their Etsy.
It came very well packaged. As you can see there is bubble wrap.
It came with a lovely bill. And a bit of save the planet advice which is always nice :)
There are two colors that you can get. White or Black. I chosed the white one.
This packer was surprisingly not very flexible. When I ordered it I thought it was going to be like a bra pad, it kinda is like one but it is harder. That’s nice so it doesn’t bend.
And here’s a terrible picture of me.
I found that this product works best in tighter boxers.
I do believe you can hand wash this, but I’m not entirely sure.
Overall I would give this product a 10/10. It’s a good price, fast shipping, and a good first packer. It is very lightweight and when running it doesn’t move around!
Disclaimer: The company does not know I’m doing a review. All that has been said is my real personal opinion.
Reminder
Don’t put on a wet binder!
I’m going out in public with a thick hoodie on and shorts because my binders aren’t dry. It is currently 82 degrees.
But please, do not put on a wet binder, it can be tighter than what it normally is and hurt you!
Bind safety!
How To Wash Your Binder!
Hey everyone, just wanted to make this is show y’all how I wash my binder and as a reminder to wash your binder!
So first off, I like to wash my binders every third day (unless it was really hot that day or if I spilled something on it, then I wash it that day)
So first I fill the sink up with warm water and put my binders in the water. Then I like to let them just soak in the water for a few minutes!
So next I use a Landry cleaner and softener
I keep them in small tubs cause I don’t need the whole bottle.
Now I leave them to soak for a couple minutes
Now I’m using dove body wash to make it smell nice and feel a lot softer
Now I let that soak for a moment
After I scrub them I drain the warm water
And then rinse them off with cold water
If any of your water turns a weird color do not worry! It’s not because it dirty, it’s just the dye!
Then I squeeze them out the best I can by hand and then I leave them to hang like this for the night!
Hope this was helpful!?
Hey I have a brand new never worn gc2b binder in large Nude #5. I guess I ordered it forever ago and lost the package or something lmao. I’m getting top surgery in like 6 weeks so I don’t really need it. But I would love to sell it to raise funds for medical supplies for my surgery; So like 30 usd (including shipping). I also got a much older gc2b binder but it’s worn out and stained p badly so I’ll sell it at 7 (including shipping) [perfect for anyone in between L/XL lmao] and an underworks one panel beige binder in large (again like L/XL) too I’ll sell for 15 (including shipping). 12/20/18. Oh and I’ll do international shipping but ya gotta cover shipping then.
my binder is literally so so so comfortable and makes me feel so safe and happy. ive never owned or worn a binder before so i didnt know what to expect at all but im so happy that i decided to go with it and i cant wait to wear it more often. ive heard so many stories of people who accidentally got the wrong size or who got stuck trying to put it on or for whom it hurts or doesnt bind well and it worried me so much but my binder is literally PERFECT it’s so easy to take on and off and fits me perfectly and aaaaaa i just adore it im so so happy
MY BINDER WILL ARRIVE NEXT WEEK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
i still cant believe that somewhere out there in the postal system is a binder with my name on it at this very moment
