Title: Advice for itchies from binder?
Post by: BlueGemFox on October 10, 2014, 07:26:13 AM
I dunno if this is in the right spot, real sorry in advance if it isnt, but im looking a bit of advice on how to wear my binder.
So I'm slowly training myself to wear my binder. Got it going 6-8 hours now, but my problem is i get so damn itchy under my chesticles. I have really really big ones (size DDD at least) and i have to push them all the way down to get my chest natural looking enough. My only problem is it creates mad sweat. And i dont want to stop every five minutes to go to the toilet to scratch then go through readjusting myself all the way again. Any suggestions on how I can can combat the itchyness?

Baby powder or corn starch. I use gold bond body powder before I put my binder on. Helps keep things dry.

Ohhh thanks! Ill give that a try as I got some baby powder laying around. Im not to keen on putting a shirt on underneath for sweat absorbing as the binder is tight enough as it is. Also, I wonder is there away to stop them slipping back into the uniboob during the day?

To me there is no way to avoid the uniboob thing. Binders have to press stuff down. You can learn yourself to adjust in a different way (by example down and out, or up and out, or just down/ to the sides). I heard some people like to wear a compression shirt under it, so that it fits tighter (which may prevent uniboobage).
To your itching question;
Also I like to use the baby powder with menthol in it, because menthol relieves itching/ or potato starch (it clumps less). But that is just how I do it.

Try the foot powder with salicylic acid in it. It's great to prevent/stop itching, and it will help to keep nasty stuff from growing in those creases.

awesome thanks! I'll give those a try. Sadly i cant wear anything under it as too many layers makes it hard to survive the weather (australia is HOT)

To avoid uniboob I read that some guys put a rolled sock between the chesticles to keep them apart (and absorb sweat in the meanwhile) but I never tried myself...

Interesting idea, but I have a feeling that if I tried that, I'd end up with triboobs. (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fthefiringline.com%2Fforums%2Fimages%2Fsmilies%2Feek.gif&hash=669241757cc6b77b28c325f022e1bf7b2454d127)
