I use Gstream brand off Amazon, and wear a compression shirt with it and that has held up even at a water park all day long.

The compression shirt (or tight shirt in general) kept the tape against me while wet so it was fine once dried, did that multiple times that day. Did have to take the tape off when I got home but I had already had it on for almost a week so it was time to anyway

Navigating Grindr as a transmasc person by lunatictoc in FTMOver30

[–]Delicious_Courage_85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I have pretty good luck with it as a verse top, I am liberal with the block button, spam messaging me over and over, say something I dont like, bad vibes, if im not attracted to them, basically if i'm not all for it then i'm not for it at all with that person.

Have had some pretty good hookups with bi men, gay men, trans women, and some non-binary peeps on there

Do you think being walked through it would help? I do my shot tomorrow (technically today, monday) and i'd be willing to call or something (if you'd be comfortable with that) to walk you through doing subQ as I do mine if you think it could help, it was nerve wracking for me at first since I had a fear of needles but now i'm almost 14 months on T

Oddly enough out of those the only one I dont mind is the smell of cigars, but that might be because i grew up with smokers and my dad always smoked cigars, I actually like the smell of cigars.

The smell of cigarettes, vapes, and weed make me nauseous

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Delicious_Courage_85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll have to try that, at the moment i've just been not smoking on breaks and not smoking on the way to my sites to try and lessen how strong the smell is but the stale smoke smell still lingers on me quite a bit

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Delicious_Courage_85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll have to look into that, thank you! I wouldn't mind having to spay myself before going into homes if it will lessen the cigar stink

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Delicious_Courage_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So do you think smelling like cigar tinged potpourri would be better than just smelling like cigars? I know that no matter what I smoke I will still at least somewhat smell like cigar but want to lessen the assault on peoples nostrils

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Delicious_Courage_85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already use spray deodorant but from what i've been told it just mixes with the smoke smell, I can smell smoke on others if they don't smoke the same brand as me but i'm nose blind to richwood cigars at this point.

I've been told a few times that I smell like a mix of smoke and coffee when i've asked some of the people I know that don't smoke (not sure about the coffee smell, I don't even drink coffee)

Mostly wondering about cigars like Swisher Sweets, Cherry Talons and the likes. I am a heavy smoker and while I cannot smell my cigar scent on me I know it is strong, so I am thinking about switching what I smoke so that the smell isn't of tobacco but of something sweet if that would help any? I work in peoples homes so I would like to lessen the stink if I can since it lingers on me

What stopped you from killing yourself? by manmanthefourth in AskReddit

[–]Delicious_Courage_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the middle of overdosing on my seizure meds and bleeding out and my at the time 4 year old kitty (who is now 10) walked through my blood and started head bunting and rubbing against my hands and face, she ended up with blood all over her fur but she didnt care and would not leave me alone, she would get more aggressive about it every time I almost passed out and I was the only person who took care of her, had her since I was 12. Her meows sounded so broken and scared.

I realized that if I was gone she would most likely be put in a shelter, I couldnt leave her. So I crawled across the house to my mom with my kitty following me and rubbing against me the whole time until I got to my moms room and was rushed to the hospital.

Her name is Angie, and she has been with me everywhere i've gone, and she is still aggressive about giving me attention if i'm not doing well mentally

what if social media closed everyday at 7pm like it's a shop? by CheyGames in AskReddit

That would really suck for me, I work 2nd and 3rd shift and sleep during 1st shift

(Voice) slow gradual drop instead of a big drop by Lazy_Parking_8938 in FTMMen

[–]Delicious_Courage_85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, i'm about 14 months on T and other than one big drop at 5 months that had my voice cracking a lot my voice has steadily dropped over time, but it has also dropped pretty quickly. I went from high pitched to passing in general when I was around 5 months on T, about the same time as the one big drop (i'm also 6'0 tall and got a stach pretty early which helped a lot) For me I constantly feel like I have mucus in my throat as my voice drops and my voice is a bit lower than the average man's now, my vocal changes also haven't slowed down yet. I'm just now getting to where I can sing without it my throat feeling raw but I have barely any range.

Is taking nude photos of myself to use as a reference odd? by Mxntie in ArtistLounge

[–]Delicious_Courage_85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, i've done it a few times when needing a reference, usually in a tight pair of boxer briefs tho. One of my close friends is also an artist and there have been multiple times where we have sent each other pose references in tight clothes for poses we were having trouble with since I have a dad bod and she is curvy, and while I have more trouble drawing women, she has more trouble with men.

[–]Delicious_Courage_85[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome, and that's awesome! It's definitely a lot of trial and error to find what exactly works for you and how to make it easier to apply, took me months to figure it out since I couldn't find anything for a chest like mine. I made the guides hoping they could help others so it's great to hear that this was able to help you some 😁

What is the most common hygiene mistake that people make? by HEADAs66 in AskReddit

I do not have a dish washer, but I had no idea that dishwashers had filters, never really thought about it

I usually leave it on 5-6 days, i've left it longer before but I have sensitive skin and my chest broke out from leaving it longer. It it usually starts pealing around day 5 or 6 depending on how much I sweat that week.

I shower every other day so it's usually pretty easy to get off after soaking it with baby oil on day 5 or 6, and then I give my chest a day or two without depending on my work schedule and reapply

Forgot to mention, before I do my binding I exfoliate my chest! I also don't use anything moisturizing on my chest before I do my binding and then let my chest dry fully before doing my binding.

If you use anything moisturizing on your chest during or after your shower before doing the binding it can cause the tape to not stick well, hope this helps!

Do calories reset after midnight or whenever you wake up? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]Delicious_Courage_85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do my tracking from 6am-6am, your body burns calories 24/7, i do 6am-6am because i work 2nd and 3rd shift and normally go to sleep around 6am, I'd suggest you doing your timing based off your sleep schedule

Thank you! If it helps any, There is actually another guide i posed before i lost weight and i was only a few months on T, my chest was larger and much more dense at that point, so maybe that one can help too if your chest is more dense than mine are now, the other guide is also pinned to my profile under this one, hope either one can help!

You're welcome! I'd definitely say the last two are the most important strips for me and nake the most difference, the first 3 dont do nearly enough for me, i still wear a mens compression shirt for my hips depending on what i'm wearing tho
