My name is Kai, female to male transgender. I'm 18 years old and am a student. I am currently looking for a job so At the moment I can't afford to get a binder. My dysphoria has gotten to the point where my suicidal tendencies are coming back. I feel depressed all the time. It's bad enough that I hate my body and on top of that my parents are homophobic. I've tried using ace bandages to bind but they were very uncomfortable and painful. I would really appreciate it if there is anyone out there that has a binder they don't need or can donate. I am desperate and need one as soon as possible. I looked up what size I am for an underworks binder but I don't think it's the same for all binders. Anyway for underworks I'm a medium. If anyone has a 988 or 997 medium binder in black that they could give me I would be very grateful. Please and thank you. -Kai

Hello and welcome here Kai :)
I understand you and I don't recommend using ace bandages anymore.
If you need a binder but you have no money for it, you can see the Big Brothers program: you contact them providing the info they need and then they will send you a free binder. It's a program that works with donations of money and used binders. This is the link, hope it helps ;)

Hey thanks! I've contacted them twice this past month and still no response. I'll wait another two weeks and if still no response I'll try again.

Be patient. Nick, who runs the program single-handed, is a busy guy, but he will get back to you. That program is a great service to the FTM community...

Thanks. I'll be as patient as I can. I've tried this program before but I was only 15 then.
