I've been going back and forth with the binding. I started out using a back brace backwards but it didn't look right. So then I found this blue stretchy thing for your adomen and started using that for my breasts. But it got to where it gave me bruises and rashes and now it's just too stretched to use. What do ya'll suggest I try now?

Check the FtM section on the boards here- https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/board,27.0.html There are several threads on binders there.

I also use a backbrace but altered it so that you wear it forewards. Backwards just looks like you're wearing a messed up corset.
