My First Binder!
Big news! I got my first ever binder-y thing last Saturday. It hurts like a b****.
I got the idea from some female cosplayer friends who use it when they play male characters.
It's basically just a support bandage that you wrap around your chest area instead of your tummy. It gets really hot and sweaty and gross. I get very irritable wearing it because of how uncomfortable it is but I am so much happier and less anxious about being outside and being judged and looking like a girl like I did before, so it's really worth the pain.
I'm looking into different brands and materials to use instead of this s*** one I got from Poundland. It's basically rubber on the inside and bandage stuff on the outside.
I've made a video about my first binder; it does have some swearing it in because I'm just really bad at being PG but please watch, comment, whatever. If you want advice or have any questions, feel free to come bother me.
