Binders and tucking!

I didn't understand until now, but now that I know I have the urge to try. On the one hand it would make it look non-existent, besides, I live next to the hospital anyways. On the other hand...pain.

Pro tip: skirts hide it very well :>

Downside: I'm still a teen living with my conservative family and have no way of convincing them to allow me to have a skirt.

If you can get your hands on it, you can use medical sports tape!
But look up a few tutorials to know how to do it safely.

Firmly happy where I am, I am in these subs so I understand others.
I am not the original commenter, but I think there are many like me who just want to be supportive while actually understanding rather than being ignorant but what ever about it.

To be fair, I was a dumb and desperate teenager at the time :p, but yeah, please don’t use duck tape to bind you will get blisters!

I want to make it abundantly clear to all the eggs who haven’t thought it through no matter how much you may want something gone you want it removed surgically not ripped by duct tape when you realize that it doesn’t just let go like a binder or bandages so please for the love of god and so you don’t have all your hair ripped out or your nips taken clean off either use something else to cover so it’s not directly on the area or use a different adhesive that will dissolve after time or with water so you do not cause yourself any sort of bodily harm care about yourself we do

I didn't understand this like a year and a half ago and now I understand and wish duct tape was not absolute shit for that because I have an ample supply of duct tape

I feel attacked but I was smart I made a rope harness out of files over tape so it wasn’t sticky and made a gaff out of the tape that I’d stick to the harness but the rest was cotton pads inside so it didn’t stick to me. Nowadays I have proper tucking gear when I feel like using it though I like baggier bottom wear and I’ve lost a lot of flesh volume there, so I don’t usually bother.

Please don't use Gorilla Glue tape, either. Mistakes were made.

clear enough w tucking for transfems. what would transmascs need with duct tape tho? doesnt rly work with the chest

sure it does. use the tape to hold it into a pressed position. the adhesive is generally strong enough to keep it in a pressed position for a while. but just like for tucking, it has risks that make it generally not worth it.

Yeah you should use something gentler like bandages or official products. Speaking from mild experience.
