Binding for hips


KieranD

Recommended Posts

My hips are the widest part of my torso and need to be bound in order to wear shirts that are closer to fitting right. As of now the only full length binder I've been able to find is the underworks 997. I can't wear compression shorts or anything like that because of the discomfort the seams on my "true waist" feels. Does anybody else know of binders that are full length and bind hips?

If there are any I am not familiar with them. I think the best best is possibly to go with something like Spanks on bottom and a separate binder on top. I do understand the challenge-before T I had the same problem

Sorry. I swim about 2 miles with scuba fins every day and wonder if that did it. And I've lost 120lbs. I noticed the weight is coming off in female places first. Which suits me fine. Only lost about 4 inches off my waist but at least 18 off my hips. Didn't measure the top so can't say how many inches there.

I hope someone knows something else that will work for you

I don't know of any hip binders. I just have to get by with wearing clothes that create more of a masculine shape on my body. For me, that's button-down shirts, flat front pants, and suit jackets.

What are flat front pants? Is that just pants without pleats?

Me...well...in order to wear clothes that don't look like I'm a kid trying on his dad's clothes I need to bind my hips. If I don't then the clothes are nowhere near fitting. A few months ago my hips were measuring in at 47 inches while my chest, when bound was about 40 inches. It's a big difference and most clothes are cut like a square or inverted triangle.

Yep, flat front pants are ones without pleats. Pleats can add unwanted curves to a silhouette. That's why tailors recommend that short or overweight men avoid them. Since I'm a little shorter than the average guy and carry a few extra pounds, I stopped wearing them and it really does make a difference in how I look.

I look less like I'm wearing my dad's clothes and playing dress-up when I wear clothes that are more fitted, even when they hide the parts of my body I'm uncomfortable with. I look at what men who have body shapes close to mine wear to disguise their own flaws (i.e. a beer gut or moobs). Since I've started paying attention to things like that, I've been a little more successful at dressing in ways that let me pass as male more often than not.

I guess this might be a good way to explain my situation. A shirt would fit my shoulders in a small but won't fit my hips unless I wear maybe a large or extra large. The looks I like on guys my size tend to be fitted. Ruttledge Wood is a fair example...and the guys at chubby guy swag.

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      In this case the MAGA GOP transphobes Just my opinion of course
    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.
