So, I know taping to bind is BAD and I'm not advocating strapping down with a roll of duct tape, but...I used some kiniesiology tape (because it's stretchy, breathable, and designed to be worn in the skin) to kinda hold everything down and to the side before putting binders on:

I'm a 38E in bra sizes, and this combo has me flat - my belly is now officially bigger than my boobs 😂

Looking good :). Just FYI GC2B make the best binders and are also very good at binding bigger chests. You can find pics online.

Whoa, dude, how the ****? That looks amazing. I'd never think you had anything but a flat chest.
I was a complete and total failure at binding which is part of the reason I ended up planning for and subsequently getting top surgery before HRT. My chest, though huge to me, was only a C (I think?) and I still couldn't manage to get anywhere near that flat.
Color me impressed.

Regardless, I know binding sucks but it really does look great. I keep going back to look at the pictures and... yeah. Awesome job.

I believe there was a post on the FTM runners group on FB about someone using KT tape instead of a binder while running, and they said it held up pretty well. I've used KT tape a lot over the years for other purposes, and it definitely gets my vote. I wouldn't even put it in the same class as other tapes or bandages. If it can be used to help bigger guys get flatter, awesome.

Very nice!
As an aside, know a small guy who uses only KT tape (no binder) and gets super flat.
I'm really impressed at the flatness you're getting what after reading your size. Wow

That's a darn good feeling, isn't it?

Felt very masculine today (school trip to the zoo) - using the tape has boosted my confidence massively :D
