Unfortunately I'm a rather "large" pre-hrt FtM. I'm dealing with a 44F (44DDD) chest, and am quite chubby. I've been working to get my weight down, but PCOS and hypothyroidism haven't made it an easy task. I'm looking into a decent (but inexpensive) binder, but currently use an old men's wrestling uniform for binding. I shortened the shoulder straps and cut the bottom out to make a second pannel on the inside over the breasts. This can bring me down to about a B or C, but unless I find a rather baggy shirt my breasts are still visable. Any suggestions until my job pays out decently enough for a binder?

I'm also having issues with facial hair. The only upside to my medical condition is that I grow facial hair. Since changing my diet and starting eexercise I have noticed more hair on the underside of my chin and on my neck. I sometimes get a whispy mustache, and an occasional hair or two on my cheeks. It's too dark and stiff to ignore, but still too patchy to look masculine. Any tips on getting it to fill in, or do I need to just keep shaving it off until I can start hrt/pass more easily?

Just a thought... Maybe try "Just for Men" gel? It's designed for hiding grey, but might help fill? I've got maybe 12 hairs on my chin though, so you might wanna wait for someone with a few more to chime in. ;)

One tip I've heard for making facial hair appear darker is using mascara. I haven't tried it myself, but if you have any lying around you might give that a shot. As for the binder, there are a lot of tutorials for homemade binders that you can find with a quick google search, but I don't know if any of them will work a whole lot better than what you've already got. Having a large chest sucks, I know it, but just hang in there.

That is about 4 days of growth. I have to shave tomorrow for work, but within three or four days it will look like that again. I just can't get it to fill in or spread.
