It sounds like your binding in the most safe way possible. Please, PLEASE do not bind with an ace bandage, tape, etc. They cause rib fractures and deformation of the chest wall and it's all so dangerous. They do have FtM binders (gender fluid people use them too, I am genderqueer and I use mine) but they are expensive. There are things called Binder Exchanges where binders are donated and sent discretely to people who are in need of them. If you'd like, I'll look into an open one right now and provide you with a link.

If you ever need to talk gender stuff, I'm here to vent too. Please take care.
Don't worry about the binder exchange. I live with other people who always pry about my mail and they don't know anything about these issues I'm having. It would just be too awkward too soon. Thanks for the offer though.

I actually found a better sports bra and bought it. It's amazing how much it just compresses everything. It makes me so happy.

And I don't understand how people use ACE bandages or tape. I mean maybe if you have smells breasts but gravity is my enemy and tape would not hold my breasts lol.

Thanks for the reply.
