I am clueless on what kind of gear there is, I am the only trans person that I know and I am clueless when looking up stuff. Can you explain what gear there is and how it could help me?

Binders- an elastic vest to give you the appearance of a flat chest- GC2B are the best company to buy from in regards to comfort and how well it works

Packers- a silicone prosthesis in the shape of a penis to create a realistic bulge in your pants

STP- stand to pee device- same as a packer but it has a tube through it usually with a funnel at the end so you can pee standing up

These are the main ones I can think off

I wouldn't necessarily agree with the binder one. gc2b can be great but they have also not worked at all for some. Underworks is another common binder brand that is less stretchy/comfortable but probably the next option after a gc2b.

Underworks works fine for those of us with larger chests.  It might not be as comfortable, but my two tri-tops give me the look I need to allay my dysphoria.  Gc2b is more for those that have smaller chests, and tbh, I don't really have much trouble with my binders.

There are all kinds of "gear" out there.  It depends on what you need it for.  Don't worry, there's a learning curve that we all had to go through, and even though I'm well-versed in many of them, I'm forever learning of new companies and new gear.

Take your time, decide what you need first, and aim for that.

cquin1992, some good ideas already for you. One just needs to read what others are using and like and don't like about each, good place to read is here.  A couple of good comments on binders, best to buy a couple and see what works best for you.  Depending on your size and frame size, etc some will work better than others for you.  Good luck
