Binders
Hi. A break in the regular programming.
I’ve been having some rib pains with my smaller binders, so I plan on going a size up. I’ve been binding for almost two years now so … I think they’re flatter and I don’t need as tight a bind. On this note, during transition, gaining muscle mass means you might need to change binder sizes so you don’t get hurt. Anyway I have two [small] binders that I plan on sending out to someone who needs it. A long black pullover and a grey strapless velcro binder. I got them at http://www.lesloveboat.com/ so the sizing there would apply. Make sure they’re the right size for you, I don’t want anyone hurting themselves. Binding too tightly is dangerous and I’ve heard that in the long run (besides possible injuries) it can make top surgery problematic.
Warnings aside, I have to ask that only people from the USA ask for them, because I have shit hours and work minimum wage and postage is ridiculous. I’m not asking for anything in return. Fact is, until I send them out, I won’t feel like I can get new ones that don’t squeeze the fucking life out of me. :)
Anyway they’re in pretty good shape, I think. Don’t hesitate to ask. Just spreading the goodwill - my first binder was sent to me by someone who I never spoke to, never met. Changed my life.
