binding without a binder

hey guys i recently saw a tiktok of how to bind without a binder and i tried it yesterday and looked in the mirror and cried because i was so shocked it worked and i have wore it today and i feel so confident

Yay - good for you!!

Awww pleased for you just make sure you are doing it safely and taking the recommended breaks

Is it worth it for you?
There are very real side effects that are experienced by a very large portion of people who bind.
Please do it safely. Tiktoc promotes dangerous trends, so you really do need to get advice of a medical professional.

i would go to a therapist but they will tell parents about it wont they or is it all confidentil

I don't know what that means, could someone explain?
I genuinely clicked on this thread thinking it was a question about folders/binders.

Its all confidential - they will only tell your parents if you express that you want them to pass on information or ofc if you are in any actual actual danger.

If you decide to go to a therapist, they will explain all of that before you actually start and explain in what scenarios they would have to break confidentially

Btw a therapist is obviously a very different thing to a medical professional- I was just explaining that it is confidential so dont worry about that.

is it free to get a theripist

Binders are used to flatten chests, some people use it because they are part of the transgender community and some people use it because they want to look a certain way and be flat. (There’s lots of different reasons)

But some binders are dangerous and can cause boobs to change shape or cause pain there’s an example of one

Thanks for explaining

day three of binding without a binder and i have started to notice a diffrence i find it hard to breathe and i can wear a mask only a little bit at a time and it has made me feel very confident in myself

Yes it is free in the UK on the NHS. You can get a referral for therapy from your GP.
