Binder/packer advice?


Motormouth95

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I'll finally have a little extra money this month, so I want to finally buy a binder and possibly a cheap packer, too. My chest size is roughly a 48 DD, so I'm a little concerned about binder I purchase. I also need one that is easy to put on and take off because of my physical disability. I would prefer to spend less than $50, if possible, but can afford more if need be. Also, what are some good compression t-shirts that are reasonable?

Packer wise, I need one already premade. I would like a stand to pee one, but I may not be able to afford both until July. Are there any that are compatible with boxers? (I cant stsnd boxer briefs. They stick to my leg).

I've got an Underworks binder that works decently for twenty bucks. The nice thing about Underworks is that they've got a whole bunch of different kinds of binders if you go to their men's section. None of them are explicitly labelled FTM and don't have recommendations based on chest size, but you can choose different fabrics and different compression levels based on your needs. It might be good to start there.

A compression top might be your best bet. I've heard mostly good things about underworks. You could look into other brands of althetic compression tops too. May not be designed for FtMs but they hold stuff in while giving you breathing room and moisture wicking fabric.

As for packers, I guess it depends on what you're willing to spend. There are some pretty great prosthetics available with STP built in but they're pricier (t-mensjunkshop.com)

 

One thread pinned here talks about making your own stp packer in your price range

Well, I finally ordered a couple of men's compression shirts off of Amazon. They should be here Friday. Hopefully, they will make my chest less notable.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.

      You're welcome. I'm here quite often if you need me.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?

      Oh yes. It was not fun cleaning it up but he is better.

      As I read this one, it is only for school bathrooms.  I hope he has signed a bill to triple the number of "security monitors" on the campuses and up their pay considerably, not to mention some other costly stuff.  Only way is for every school employee, to know the birth certificate information of each student by memory which will require 3 additional months of salary for them all.  It appears the enforcement relies on parental reports obtained from their children which opens so much up.  The kids will end up ALL with wet or soiled underwear while the parents go at each other with weapons over "family honor" over false calls based on childish name calling.

      I agree. This law is impractical and impossible to evenly enforce without such ridiculous measures in place. What it will do is stigmatize the trans community in Oklahoma and nothing more but ofc, that’s the only point of it.   If I was in that state and needed a restroom, there’s no chance I’d ever step foot in the men’s restroom because of some law. I know I’m not alone in that thinking. This law won’t stand the test of time.

      I asked AI to create an image of myself 30 years younger based off my avatar on another site and this was the result:     Wow! I am amazed how close it got my 30 year old face!

      Quite true.  The amusing thing about opposites is how similar they can be.   My family left Greece because of the conflict between the communists and the militarists/fascists.
