What are some good ways to hide your chest without binding?

[Guest Motormouth18]

I don't want to bind for 3 reasons. A: my disability might make it too hard to do so. B. I'm too big, a size 46 D. C. Being uncomfortable.

Are there any other ways to help hide my chest, like using tank tops? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I am MTF but I have B cup breasts at this point... I am not out at work so I have to conceal them. All I do is wear a white A shirt under my dress shirt... I bought the extra long ones. I tuck the shirt in and the pull down hard and then button my pants and cinch my belt. It seems to work well, it hides my breasts and helps me look slimmer. If you try this though, make sure to get the extra long ones. I bought the regular ones at first but they constantly kept popping out. The extra long ones rarely pop out.

When I need to get them even less noticeable I have one other garment. It is a woman's under armor cycling shirt (white color, but they come in all sorts of colors) it is stretchy and really light weight... it is a size too small for me so it sort of acts like a binder (although it doesn't apply nearly as much pressure as an actual binder). I wear it the same way as the A shirts its just more effective.

Whether this will work for someone with 46 D's I do not know, but hey it's worth a shot...

Compression shirt with a looser shirt over it.

I doubt you're going to have much luck. Pretty much all but the smallest guys are stuck binding - it's one of the most effective forms of compression.

That said, you could try wearing one of those underarmor shirts and layering a bunch of shirts on top of it. When I was younger, I used to take a tight (but not super tight) sports bra, and then take another tighter sports bra and put it on backwards on top of the first one. It was better than nothing.

As a side note, in case you ever decide to reconsider using a binder, I've seen guys with F cups bind. They don't get perfectly flat chests, but the change is still drastic. Also, it's really not that uncomfortable. I've been binding for around 4 years and it's only bad if I bind for hours on end. The methods I tried before that had way worse results and much more discomfort. Just my two cents on the matter.

They make zippered binders that work well and that is about the only kind of actual binder I will wear. The FTM swim binder on Underworks is the best binder I have ever found. The zipper doesn't actually show under clothes and you don't get the squishy looking weird lumps many guys end up with who are trying to bind larger endowments. i have worn it for nearly 3 years with no stretching out too.

You see a lot of guys with moobs and pecs but not with those odd looking chest masses we tend to create by trying to make tissue compress smaller than it is capable of doing. When I took pics in the woods to check my weight progress-pics somehow are more accurate to me than a mirror-I accidentally had my binder unzipped under my shirt on a hot day-and in Arkansas in summer it can be tortuously hot to bind- I was shocked to see how much more natural and male shaped I was with the zipper unzipped. Also noticed that my posture and movement were far more male. Men move freely and overbinding interferes with that.

By the way I don't bind to hike anymore. Compression shirts a size smaller-and a good brand not cheap ones-actually do as much as a binder. They have the added benefit of being in style year round so they look natural where some binders show lines through shirt that just look like bras-especially from the back which we tend not to see. unless something strange like tumor looking lumps or stiff painful or restricted movement catches their eye people don't look at men's chests to get gender clues. At least not in my experience.

Losing weight -especially on T but even without-is the best way I know to reduce chest size outside of surgery.

hey did you know guys are injecting silicone to increase their chests and look more fit? Apparently it has become really common. If we do it right we have that nailed and without the risks of injection.

So far not one person has misgendered me due to my chest-and I started out a D at least before T.
