what are yout issues with binding?

[lawliver]

I'm not too sure if this is the correct category for this question but, what are some problens you have with binding? Does it leave scarring for you? Is it uncomfortable for you? Does it not flatten out your chest to your desire?

I have T-Kingdom's model 1700 which I think works pretty well for me.

Of course, I'd want my chest to be flatter than what the binder can do but it's not that bad since I like to wear hoodies and I don't think anyone at work starts to stare at my chest to determine am I male or female if they get confused, lol.

Basically, the only problem is the right-side seam which really starts to dig into my skin during the day. Fortunately, it hasn't (yet) rubbed the skin broken there, just leaves a red mark there which disappears in an hour or so.
But it's sometimes really annoying when I'm at work and I'd want to squirm like there's no tomorrow to ease myself but I can't since others would look at me like I had just lost few important bolts from my head.

I'd say having the right size and model binder pretty much minimizes issues.
Ace bandage is a damn fine way to develop issues. *experience*

i used an ace bandage for a few months, actually. that was probably the worst experience of my life. i had to fix it all the time, it was hard to breathe, i couldn't bend a certain way or it would come undone. it was just a real pain in the arse.

My issues with binding are that they don't really help with my massive chest, and I find mine very difficult to get on and off (I've gotten trapped halfway in/out of it several times).

I have an underworks 997 binder and my first issue with it i had (other than finding out how to put it on without dislocating a limb) was the roll up. Then I would have it dig into my side if I wore it too long. Other than that compression is good and comfort is good.

I also have the 997 from underworks. It does roll up so I fold it once at my waist then put my pants waist band there. Problem is (and I know this is bad but I can't deal without it) I wear it from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. I find that after awhile it starts to dig in anyway. Then there's also the bulge that collects under my armpits. It annoys the crap out of me and when I fix it I feel like anyone around is looking and thinking I'm adjusting a bra. But I'd take all that before being without it for a second.

I get trapped in brand new ones.

I'm not sure how I might compare to your "massive chest" ... Perhaps my avatar might be an indicator ... But when I need to hide my top I have a PP09 Gynecomastia Vest from Medical Inc., Picture Perfect Compression Garments.  I think I ordered it from Amazon as I recall.  It works OK, it's kind of uncomfortable directly against the skin, but it works well when placed over an undershirt.  As far a "binding" goes, you don't have to squish completely flat you know ... A loose fitting shirt (or hoodie) helps, but if someone notices a bulge or a bump, let them wonder!  That's part of the fun.  If it's your boss, tell him it's a gynecomastia condition ... He or she can look that up and leave you alone.  Maybe he or she will be jealous!  Roberto

The only problem or issue I had was when I was binding poorly and I kind of hurt myself a bit. I couldn't bind for more than 20 minutes without feeling out of breath or dizzy. But then I got a good quality binder and I haven't had any problems.
