Title: BINDING

I am FTM transgender and I want to know the most effective way of bonding. I already have a pretty small chest, but it's still enough that it is obvious I have them and I feel awkward and uncomfortable with them. What's the best way to bind them with making it on your own? Or the best place where I can get a binder for cheap?

Thanks for the link. I haven't told my parents yet and I can't order anything of the internet so other than there, are there any homemade ways to do it? I've seen ace bandages and sports bras a lot but one person said that it isn't as good.

depending on your chest size, you can probably get away with wearing a couple of tight sports bras.

Go to Target or Walmart, buy a neoprene waist trimmer belt... they carry them in the sporting goods department. They tend to go for between 6 and 10 bucks, and bind incredibly well, considering. I have between a B-C size chest, and one of those belts flattened it to nothing.
I would, however, advise that you wear at least a wife beater underneath; those things can cause blisters if they're right against your skin. And if you have a problem with the velcro closure sticking out, try duct tape (but NEVER on your skin!).
