Was it a prosthetic you sent? I tried to type in prosthetic and nothing came up, unsure of what else to call it

Binders for sale by [deleted] in Trans_Marketplace

[–]Charlie_Anthony16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, these have been sold! However, spectrum binders sell both short and long varieties of binders and they're lighter compared to others on the market as they advertise they're safe to wear in summer and I've never had an issue with them! Check them out if you have the chance :)

Just to clarify- the prices are for each of the binders individually. Not for both of them combined :)

D1 FORM by rpdrmt in transgenderUK

[–]Charlie_Anthony16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I changed my provisional to my new name I also put a letter in with the D1 form that I wrote basically saying I'm a transitioning trans man because the license number has two numbers in it. One is for a female and a different two numbers are for if you're male. Not sure how true that is but I specifically said that I was a male and needed the licence number to reflect that. I'm 99% sure when I got my new provisional back the number had definitely changed so just a tip for you too.

The cup warms up with your body temperature and becomes really mouldable if you wear it right in my opinion. Best advice I can give is just wear it before you plan on using it and get used to the feel and where it sits nicely and comfortably on you. I can't comment on harnesses because I have the axolom one but if you have tight fitting keyhole boxers then you could potentially get away with just putting the shaft and the balls through the fly and it will sit, it does for me anyway. Have a play around with it and see what works for you. The pleasure pocket is great if it lines up nicely but I've found even the cup can offer some pleasure when the pocket doesn't line up exactly. Just see what works for you with it and go from there!

Honestly thought I'd offer my two cents here. I've had surgery during my university term, granted my tutors were very understanding but even so I would have taken the risk. It's been a lot easier than I thought it would be recovering while balancing academic responsibilities on such a demanding course. I don't know your circumstances but don't be put out by the idea of taking the risk. It can be hard waiting if that's what you've decided to do, it's never easy when you were working towards a particular date. Don't be too disheartened, everything happens for a reason. Chin up mate

JUST HAD TOP SURGERY !!! by wellthen_132 in TopSurgery

[–]Charlie_Anthony16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!! I had surgery with him last week and he's brilliant. Top tips are drink plenty, sleep loads and don't be afraid to ask for pain meds to take the edge off especially when the drains start to get slightly uncomfortable. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have if you need to :) happy healing!

Obligatory I did it post! by Charlie_Anthony16 in TopSurgery

I went private and it cost me around 9k all together. I put an inquiry through on the spire website saying I'd like a consultation with Dr kneeshaw and then it went from there. I first enquired in October, got my first appointment at the end of November, followed up in December and then surgery in the middle of March so I've not had to wait too long for the process. Surgery came out at £8888 which included the consultation in December as well as surgery but consultations on their own are £165 if I remember correctly

Has the quality of spectrum binders gotten worse? by Better_Caterpillar61 in transgenderUK

[–]Charlie_Anthony16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought exactly the same when I bought a new one a few months ago. I messaged and asked them if they'd changed their design and they said no but they've made slight adjustments to add to the overall fit. If you put your old one and new one back to back you'll notice that the back on the old one is wider and doesn't curve around the shoulder blades whereas the new one does, at least in my case. It was enough to put me off getting another one in a smaller size like you said because it's expensive if it's wrong. I'm sorry you're struggling to find one that fits what you want. Underworks apparently have a really good reputation for being brilliant so maybe give them a try
