Packing, binding, hips (and even testosterone) - I hope I was able to cover most things in this video, and I hope you found it helpful . If you have any more tips for FTM, non-binary people or tomboys at the beach, feel free to leave that in the comments! If it’s summer where you live, I hope you’re enjoying it :) Also I want to add that if you’re not at a public beach or pool but for example by a river or a body of water somewhere else that rarely have other people swim around in it, bring a group of close friends and just take your shirt off and feel what it’s like to have the water flow over the skin on your chest. You’re a handsome lad, don’t forget that!
(Also I really need to turn off autofocus.)
To get 10% off ANY PRODUCT (I think I said swimwear in the video, whoops!) by using the coupon code KOVU10OFF, go to Heroine Binder’s website:
heroine.shoplineapp.com/
To get free shipping via amazon you still need to use the coupon code above, but you’re not also getting an added 10% off. You can find their products here:
www.amazon.com/s?marketplaceI...
Follow them on Instagram as well!

Me at 5: I'm a girl Me at 8: I'm a boy Me a week ago: I'm agender Me earlier today: I'm fluid between feminine and agender (I don't know what that's called) Me now: I have absolutely no idea edit: updates. I changed my name and pronouns to they/them about a year ago but I didn't really like it so I changed back to she/they. Now I'm pretty sure I'm straight up a trans guy and I want to go by he/him but I'm worried it will change again and I have to go back. Being referred to as a girl makes me really uncomfy and I always have to remind myself that I'm a girl because in my head I'm a boy? Weird. edit.2: so. i told my family i was a transguy. but now im really not sure again. its like as soon as people actually start calling me he/him i dont like it? i dont know. because the thing is, i like being a girl? i want to feel like a girl. but i dont. except i do sometimes. i think it depends on who im around? like i want to be perceived by strangers and cis men as a boy but i dont want to be perceived as anything in particular by my close friends and other trans people, but i would like to be seen as more feminine leaning by my girlfriend if i ever have one? im so confused. edit 3: 2 years later and I'm still struggling to figure myself out. I think I'm genderfluid and that is what I've been identifying myself with. I think I also heard once about something called mirrorgender? which is like when it changes depending on who you're interacting with? I think mine might be something like that but also encompassing how I'm feeling and like everything about me, I don't know how to describe it. I think I do experience dysphoria. And my pronouns are he/she!! I didnt know you could do both without including they/them! wow!

That way, your parents don't have control over you, and you can transition and come out to your friends. I have seen many people do that, and it worked very well with them. I promise it gets better, and keep your chin up. Keep chugging through life, even if it is really hard. 😘❤

I am thinking about getting a binder that I can swim in but I think it might have a similar effect to the swimming costume under the rash guard - not sure if I should spend more money haha.

Now I have so much dysphoria because of my body and literally everyday I get more suicidal and I have to calm myself down with videos from you ( the best one ) and some other creators but yeah you mostly make me feel like I can be who I want to be so one thing that I want to do is say thank you kovu for giving me confidence and knowing that I can do what I want again thank you Kovu.

I feel for ya. I'm FtM but I still get the dysphoric bit. As an adult, the best site to help with bottom issues and dysphoric is Adam and Eve. Even though they have general sex toys and stuff, they have a lot of stuff for trans people, whether it's bottom binding or fake breasts/packing, so that may help you a bit. Also, for general clothing dysphoria, Old Navy is a general clothing store that my MtF friend found was quite useful for her body shape, and flattered her better than most clothes. And if those are too expensive (I understand), Wish is a great website for discounted items of both prospects. I hope this helps, and I hope you reach happiness and being happy with yourself. Cheers!

My mom finally bought me a one piece swimsuit that has wider shoulder straps and covers far more skin than the regular girl swim suits. The special thing about this is that she got me one that comes with swim shorts to go with it. YAY. At the same time, she doesn't like how I don't wear more feminine colors and stuff so... ye. I wish I had a small chest T^T

Kinda, yeah. The few times I’ve done it it’s been great, mostly at the beach and being with trustworthy people, for example my eldest sister, but at home I haven’t done it, except when I’m alone. Having conservative parents sucks and I fear they might take my nieces/nephews away from me if they don’t like how I am because they still think I’m 100% woman when I’m not. But hopefully that’ll change for better in the future, people need to normalize chest exposure, no matter what your gender is, as long as it is your choice. Big hugs to you all!!!! ❤️🥰💋

I'm fairly feminine for a nonbinary person. I would suggest playing around, maybe try a sports bra and see if a flatter chest feels more "right", create characters in games with different genders/pronouns and see how you like them. Trans guys can be femboys/like drag. Nonbinary people don't have to be completely androgynous. See what suits you :)

Questioning whether I'm agender or genderfluid, and I get very stressed when I go swimming (because I'm 12 and don't have a binder) and for a very long time I used like 3 sports bras and it was hella noticeable, so this was helpful to know that there's tape I can use to make my chest flat. it's probably better for my body if I used tape too edit: lol so I'm 15 now and it turns out I'm neither genderfluid or agender, but just ftm. happy 2 say I bought myself a normal binder a few months ago that's fine to wear in water [from gc2b], so swimming is no longer a stresser for me :) . I hope everyone else who's still struggling can find an easy and compatible option [and just for reference, most binders are fine in water bc of the material they're mad of, but make sure to do ur own research b4 assuming anything lmao]

I just got back from holiday and I used a swim/surf shirt and it worked really well. The bottom was elastic and helped keep my swim shorts from falling down and hid my more feminine hips. I was also binding and my chest looked more like pecs and the way the sleeves shaped around my biceps made them look bigger which made my whole top area look more masc.
