Oh fun. Lovely.

Bring out ur sewing machines, boys. We're NOT going back to cracked ribs & breast cancer being the norm.

Here's a DIY sewing pattern for chest binders: https://ureshiidesign.ca/blog/binder-pattern-download-/
I haven't tested the pattern myself, but according to others it's decent.

Remember to measure both your bust AND ribs. If/when in doubt, go with your ribcage measurements. Do not make a binder that's too tight on your ribs— even if it potentially might compress better. Improperly sized binders don't actually "work better." It's a common misconception. U don't want one too small, nor too big. Speaking from personal experience: if ur binder is too small, it won't flatten ur chest nearly as well as a bigger one would. All it'll do is cause you pain.

Oh, & "trans tape" is just KT tape. You can just buy KT tape. If ur worried about the brand trans tape being restricted specifically, there ya go.
Don't forget to cover ur nipples with a thick folded square of toilet paper or a tissue. That shit HURTS when u take it off if u forget (again, personal experience.)

Tagging this for discovery, bc finding #transmasc related anything on the fedi is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Not that this only applies to transmasculine folk— but I highly doubt anyone has ever used #transneutral or #transandrogynous tags before, despite it also being very relevant for them too.
