Title: FTM binders/STPs/etc... low budget?
Post by: Wil Najera on July 20, 2011, 10:24:28 PM
hey everyone, just wanted to see what advice you all have on where to get fairly inexpensive binders and stp's. im just starting out and i want to become passable asap. i've had alot of family issues holding me back from becoming myself, but now that's all aside and i'm anxious to begin. i've already cut my hair which is a small start. but i'm looking to buy a binder first then start with the rest. also if anyone has any advice on how to boost testosterone without a doc's perscription. anything at all will help. :) thanks guys.

Tribulus is what i currently take to increase mine, also foods like brocc and garlic help.
also although i do not recommend it if you want to pass asap there is ace bandages and also this is a video from my brother that could help a bit:

I wouldn't recommend tape or ace bandages.  If you have no monetary resources then you can try the big brother's binder program, I think is the name, and they give away binders to those in need.  Maybe search around and see if anyone would be willing to sell you an old binder but don't tape or use ace bandages you could get hurt badly that way.

Just be careful with the tribulus man, I've heard some good things and some bad but have no personal experience so I can't say for sure. That's awesome about the binder! As far as an STP they can be made cheaply out of a lot of things such as medicine spoons, coffee can lids, and other things. They won't last as long but it might be worth looking into to see if something like that would work for you.

If you're looking for a packer the Mr. Limpy from early to bed starts at $13 or something close to that. Best of luck man

my wife is not into me having a "penis". so for now, untill she's either more comfortable with it or i just decide to wear it to work or something, i'm gonna go for a "go-girl" its only 10 bucks. and reuseable. i've been doing alot of research and that's the coolest one i've found for cheap so far. :)

tribulus is pretty safe actually, i went to my doctor and he looked at me like why are you asking. and told me it was safe to take.

and congrats on the binder.
i am not into packing too much, my jeans do it for me

This. My whole life I've felt like the way I wear my jeans just happens to create a bulge a lot of the time and before when I was trying to look female I was always trying to fix it but now I let that thing bump! Haha, when I first tried packing I was like WHOA. think looked huge. I wore it once in public.. and ended up stupidly video game shopping and buying Saints Row 2 (rated mature) and I got carded. I almost said I didn't have my ID but I just whipped it out and I could like, feel my packer pushing against the top of the counter (as in at my height I could have tea bagged this cashier chick's coffee). It was just shudder inducing and I haven't really felt like packing since. I just want to stand up and pee!!
