Title: Advice on binding or other mehods?
Post by: gildedfire on December 27, 2014, 05:51:39 AM
Hi, I am currently a 34F (34E in America) in my chest and still growing, and my chest can only compress to 5 cm out or so even with binding it seems. Is there any other method to reduce my chest size except for hormone treatment or surgery? Thank you.

Well, aside from breast tissue the breast is mainly composed of fat. You can't really spot reduce it, but with cardio training you can lose fat on all your body. Cardio includes biking, running, swimming, soccer etc. I have heard good stuff especially about swimming (when it comes to chest fat), even though it's obviously not something for every trans person.

Ah the thing is I am already very fit and my chest is actually mainly tissue at this point, and funnily enough do a lot of swimming too, but do you think at this point binding just will not work for me?
