Using Ace Bandages To Bind

[Damien Mcknight]

So, I know how bad using ace bandages to bind are, but it’s really my only option qwq 

I signed up for free chest binders and am waiting for a reply

 

soo... yea

As hard as it is to wait for the actual binder, please please please wait for the binder to come.  In the years I have been involved in the Trans community I have known people who have hurt themselves badly, gangrene and rib fractures being two items in the stew, with actual permanent lung injuries coming along as well.  A good jogging bra will help some if you combine it with tops that are larger than what you usually wear.  Just NO ACE bandages.  We will be happy to talk to you and discuss things with you and help you ride out the storm but we cannot say OK to self harm.

I agree with Vicky 110%. When I've worn ace bandages for injuries, they get uncomfortable real fast.  The compression they provide is not like a binder, but is much more severe.   You've made it this far, hold on a little longer, please.

I have to agree. I’m currently not out at work and as a result I have been trying to conceal my growth (and it’s getting more difficult because I got “excuse us miss” yesterday morning) so I just use a decent sports bra and wear a compression shirt and then an athletic shirt on top of that. It works... mostly. But since yesterday morning I’m finding that I might not be able to conceal anything much longer without a binder. Binders work better.

 

 Ace bandages are not a good idea. It’s difficult to even get them wrapped correctly without assistance and they can create all the problems and injuries already mentioned. I entertained the idea briefly but quickly changed my mind. As soon as the weather cools off I will probably use a binder myself until I actually have a safer job. Then I’ll ditch the whole convoluted hiding approach and just let things be the way they are.

Eek! I decided to just wait for a binder, as I had just put on a regular bra the other day and felt WAYYY more comfortable. Plus the bandages kept slipping and it was just a mess!!

It takes us a while to learn, and we do get impatient, but it is worth the wait.

Right now I’m just wearing a sports bra and I also use athletic shirts over a compression shirt. It’s not really the best thing but it’s working sort of. I have a binder that looks like a tank top but I only have one and I have to step into it. It’s pretty tight. I can’t really be that restricted at work so it’s only for when I’m just about ready to pass but don’t quite have everything for it yet.

I wear leisure racerback bras, They are inexpensive unpadded pullovers nylon-spandex and will remove any pointiness and jiggles. You can message me if you need any further information. We aren't suppose to advertise any specific products here.
