Title: Binders in the UK
Post by: CLN on September 18, 2014, 06:27:21 PM
Next month I'm travelling to the UK (London and Edinburgh mainly). I will be living five weeks with a friend and a host family. I'm still not out to anyone and where I'm currently living there's no place to buy a binder (not even through internet, but even if I could I don't want my family to find out so...). So I wanted to know, is there any "physical place" in the UK were I could buy a binder?
Thank you all in advance.
Jacob

I don't know of any physical shop they can be brought in here I'm afraid.

Me neither, sorry CLN :/

I always looked to online when I bought mine. The only thing I can think of would be if any of the sports shops sold compression bras, but I've never really looked to know what's available. Sorry I can't help more there :(

The closest you will find is compression sports clothes, or sports bras I'm afraid.

There is MORF, you can either get them to send one out or you can go up and meet them to try out some binders. They are 2nd hand though it for transmale who don't have a lot of money to buy a new binder could try them? But they are from mancester and not sure where you are staying in the UK. The only place I can think of is to find anyone who giving one away or selling them near where you will be staying. Or it will have to be sport shops, sports bras.

My bad just seen where your going to be.

Go on the internet and send the binder to where you will be staying. Your parents will see it eventually once you go back home.
