I don't want to buy one online because people who I live with don't want me to have one and would just send it back and I would rather buy it from a shop, I want to be a boy and have for a long time but I have never had a binder before and I am at the point where I really need one but my dad won't get me one so I am taking things into my pwn hands and getting one myself. Does anyone know where I can get one from? I live in the Uk and I'm 16, 17 in a few months.

I live in the UK and unfortunately you can only buy binders online :/. Maybe send it to a friend snd pick it up from them? GC2B make the best binders if you can get one and they don't mention the company on the invoice plus it comes in discreet packaging.

Otherwise you can get a sports bra type thing from underworks which may work or you can simply buy two sports in a shop; one the right size wearing it normally and one a size smaller wearing it back to front.

There's also something called the MORF binder scheme in which you can get a secondhand binder from an LGBT group based in Manchester and all you have to pay is for the postage.

Or you can physically go to an LGBT/trans group which usually have free binders.

You're basically an adult; your parents have no right controlling what you order from online or buy. It counts as emotional abusive and you may need to stick up for yourself.

Hope you find a solution :)
They/them pronouns preferred.

I'd second the GC2B route, It aslso just looks like an intense sports bra or crop top type thing. So when seen on the floor or in the wash, it's not like "WHAT THE #@!#, IS THAT?!".

I also second the sending it to a friends house method.

Do your parents go through your mail? When I lived at home I would usaually just track the package and meet the post man at the door. Then I would lie about what was inside. Like "oh, just a T-shirt I got online", then show them a shirt that they've never seen before.

Welcome to Susan's Place. I am not sure how it works in the UK but in the US, it's possible to rent a box in the post office and have mail sent directly to the box. Another alternative might be to have the box held for pickup at the post office. Just ask at your post office if there is a way to receive mail at the post office and I am sure they will be happy to tell you what services are available however it's best to do this when they don't have a long line of customers to take care of.
