#chest binder
There’s something I found out that I think is important for trans men, trans mascs, and anyone who’s considering or is regularly binding to know. You know those binder safety guidelines? There is no science backing them whatsoever. They are essentially arbitrary, best guesses of what constitutes as safe use. The actual length of use and how long of breaks need to be taken, etc could actually require shorter durations of use and longer breaks.
When people have bad experiences with binding and speak out against their use, it’s often just dismissed as they weren’t following the safety protocols. However, we have no evidence that religiously following these protocols will guarantee someone will not experience a serious binder injury or permanent damage. I think we need to start noting that these aren’t safety guidelines and you’ll be safe when following them. These are guesses at how someone may reduce the risk of harm from regular binding.
I’m saying this as a trans man. I’m not someone with an agenda who’s using dishonest scare tactics. It’s important people are aware of the risks to make a truly informed decision on various aspects of transition. Especially when you consider how few people actually moderately follow these guidelines let alone religiously follow them.
Summer is here and that means hanging out in the sun! There is no better binder on the market for hot summer days lounging around a pool/watering hole. We specifically designed our binders for comfort and fun in the sun

We’re sorry that they took a little while, but we had some expansion and improvements to make. Our binders are now available in 5 colors and in sizes XXS - XXL and we’ve switched up our inner lining material to something we like a little better than what we were using before.

I don’t know how I did it, but I know my amazing boyfriend had something to do with it.
I got my dysphoria under semi-control. It rarely strikes and when it happen I’m able to make it go away with a makeover.
There’s hope. It’s hard but it’s doable. With a lot of love and support, dysphoria can fuck off. You’re not doomed to have horrible dysphoria for the rest of your life.
The path to it is so long and scary, but it’s not impossible.

Hey everyone my funds have changed and while I’m not canceling the giveaway I’m going to have to either push back the winning date or have a delay on when the winner receives their prize. I’m so sorry about this but unexpected expenses always come at the worst times. Thank you for understanding!
