I was so psyched when the postman came today, though a bit awkward because I use the name Damien when I order things online, and my family still uses my given name. I was in the pool at the time when it came, and got right out and tried it on, at first I was scared that it was too small (it was just to get on because I was still wet) and it ended up the perfect size, it also binds better then I thought! (I have hard breast tissue, so I didn't think it would end out so well) ;D
Now I'm one step further in my transition, and I couldn't be any happier.
If anyone is curious, I got a size small High Performance Velcro Long Binder from Loveboat.
Congrats! I'm so happy for you!
Thanks Malachite ^^
I can't wait till I can wear this thing out in public <3
Yay.
:D
Hopefully it works well for you in the long run.
Gratz!
(:
;D Awesome man. Every step counts and thats a big one I think.
JustAnotherTrans, mine are firm too and don't flatten very well. I am in the b-c range mine say what your size are. This High Performance Velcro Long Binder from Loveboat sounds interesting to me have to take a look at one on the internet.
Is it the Juya one? I just got that binder in the mail too, but I find it doesn't work as well for me as my other binder, which kind of sucks. It seems to bind too high on my chest so my "pecks" appear to be a bit too far down for normal. Also, on the side with the velcro strap the fabric below it bunches out a bit. I found that I can get it to work okay by folding the binder up over itself so it becomes a short binder, but it is a bit disappointing. Did you have any issue like this? Even if you know how to fix that "fabric bunching" issue at the connection I could probably deal with the binder.
Aside from that, I am glad it works for you! I remember that feeling of first seeing my chest flat. That is one damn good feeling :)
@ Henry: Yes it is the Juya one, and I also had the problem with the fabric bunching, but I found a solution for it quite quickly. All you have to do is, when your putting it on, you have the lower velcro more to the far side (Kinda like \ that) so it makes the fabric bunching flatten.
@ Mm: I'm probably something in the b-c range aswell, but I can't say for sure.
@ Everyone else: Thanks guys ^^
The lower velcro as in the one that is underneath/with the velcro facing outward? Do you mean you kind of slant it?
The above velco, you have the bottom side slanted so it's off the lower velcro (if you have it to the very edge, like I do)
Yay, congratulations. That is a good thing. :)
That's great, mate. Nothing like wearing a binder out in public for the first time. I remember when I did and kept thinking "now no one will be staring at me wondering why this guy has boobs" lol Congratulations :)
@ Kreuzfidel: I remember when I was walking back home once, and I saw someone look at me while he was driving, then looked back at the road, then looked at me again with a startled face, he also stopped. It made me feel so sick :'(, I'm so glad that'll never happen again.
congrats
