it's pride month so here's a gender-affirming DIY for you!
also, for reference, I am an F cup (or DDDD). I may not get completely flat because I have a larger chest, but this design of a binder flattens enough to help decrease my gender dysphoria :)

Watched the video all the way thru so hopefully this gets recommended to people who need it. 6:34, that is an issue I have too. I don't have that issue with security cameras tho and often blink morse code "hello" ( . . . . / . / . - . . / . - . . / - - - ) into them. just like normal portable cameras and generally lighter-colored eyes. Darker eyes are easier but still overwhelming for me.

I was excited thinking i could pull this off until i saw that sewing would be involved, and i don't know how to sew, at all, nor do i have a sewing machine. So yeaa, i guess i'll just stick to wearing sports bras and tight tank tops over them. Or at least for now..

@aristobat 21 күн бұрын

You could try hand sewing! All it takes is a sewing needle and thread, and it’s handy to have for regular clothing too (and cheap!). I often use hand sewing for fixing buttons. It takes some time to sew by hand but absolutely is doable, and it’s pretty simple to learn, you just have to learn how to thread the needle and tie a knot, and how to do a basic stitch. The hardest part is cutting the pattern, and I would definitely recommend getting some pins to keep the fabric together so you don’t wind up cutting or sewing the wrong places. Some people will also use hot glue guns in a real pinch so they don’t have to sew, but I wouldn’t recommend this for a binder because the hard residue it leaves on the seems would be uncomfortable for wearing

Question- is it safe to wear a sports bra underneath the binder or does that wear the binder out more?- I got a xs gc2b binder and I got it on- like one would a bra- bc it wouldn't go on the right way- and I had to hudinie my way out of it- and then I got a medium one- unfortunately the xs was black and the medium is gonna be nude#4 closest to my skin tone and it's apparently on the way now and it takes forever😢 but I know it'll fit bc I've had a medium binder- but different type- and I had a small nube #4 binder in middle school and I know the small almost killed me so I think the medium is the right size- and I'm like b maybe c- so small chested and I'm still viewed as a girl in public if I'm not wearing black thick t shirts 😭 I hate it so much.

i know it differs from how fitted the binder is but does it bind like a good sports bra? more? i assume it's less than a proffesional made binder but by how much? i wanna make one for my partner and i have a sewing machine but idk how to use it so if it's worth it i'll learn! ps my partner has a very big chest

@QuinCaidWrites 5 күн бұрын

@@n.8706 it depends on how tight you make it, and sometimes the materials can alter how it functions (for example, the non-stretchy fabric I like to use is kinda on the rougher side, since it has more of a grip and makes less likely for my chest to slide out of place. Pillowcases feel nicer, but they tend to shape to your chest as opposed to a stiffer fabric). The structure is almost the same to a professional binder, the only difference is how you make it! (Aka the materials you use, any alterations you wanna make, shape and size differences, etc). If you have the materials and you have the patience, I’d say it’s definitely worth a try :D Edit: as some with a larger chest myself (I’m like an F cup but a 28 band size which is super annoying) I find homemade binders more comfortable bc I can make it the shape and size that fits me best with my weird proportions lol

Uhhh well what I use is this fabric I skinned from a couch, which I think is kind of a soft canvas? (I only ever use second hand materials so I’m not really that great with knowing the names of fabrics lol). Also, side note, adding an elastic waistband can be helpful for larger chests (I find it holds everything in place better) but it’s not necessary
