so I'm super ecstatic right now and have been ever since i saw the U.S postal service bag before work today. it's freakin amazing that i ordered it thursday afternoon and today, saturday morning, not even a whole 42 hours after buying it, it was in my hands. i unwrapped it, folded it out, laid it on the bed to get a look at it. right before leaving to work hid it under my mattress since mom was kinda upset that i bought something online. she's really paranoid and thinks that's the worst thing to do but anyway,
after work i put it on. well, it took me at least 5 minutes to wrestle this on, it's an extreme chest compression tank from underworks so it only compresses on the chest and upper back with a tighter under layer not just the whole shirt. it was slowly gradually to get both arms through the arm holes haha. after struggling and grunting (making a video of this would have made for some entertainment) for a while, i tried a new way to take my right arm out, hold it all curled up above my shoulders and put both arms in at once then it was stuck at the armpit level, i accidentally pulled some armpit hairs ouch! i remember thinking "it's like giving birth to myself!" then slowly got it to roll down little by little. then once the bottom of the binder was down to my waist i noticed my chest didn't look right, the under-layer was still bunched up on the top half of my moobs so i reached under and pulled all that straight down. then FINALLY!
i looked in the mirror, both front and side view, and my god,
it works alright. i haven't been this flat since i was...12? well actually it looks like they were squished in the center of my chest and went up to almost my collar bone but for the most part flattened. it's not going to be perfect but it's the next best thing to not having boobs. and I'm going to pass waaaay easier now. hell i passed almost half the time before binding with just big, loose mens clothes, short hair and a regular mens walk.
but now? whaaaat! i won't have to slouch anymore, also a plus. and i can wear my t-shirts in a size small again because before they were too small, tight and showed off the unwanted chest and was just unbearable until now.
i do have to admit a couple worries though, i put this on at 8 ish pm. by 10 i was having some pains in the front of my ribs, middle front i guess and felt sore when i took a deep breath, like a sigh only with the physical feeling like i had just sprinted a mile and was like hhmmm...that' can't be a good sign 2 hours and I'm already hurting but it only lasted a few minutes luckily. I'm guesssing it's because it's new and I've never binded before and it'll take some getting used to. even right now the left side of my left moob hurts. like a throbbing...was.
that's weird that it's on and off.
anyway underworks rules! best purchase ever! besides mens clothes but...you get the idea!
