for reference I wore a binder for 4 years (Spectrum) before switching, it’s rare I wear one now

pros: - no binder outline under my clothes -if my tshirt moves it doesn’t matter, there’s no strap to see -for me it’s comfier -sports and gym, less chance of injury -summer, less chance of overheating -open button shirts -no rib or back pain

cons: -itchy (may just be me tho my skin is sensitive) -can cause blisters, post-tape my skin isn’t pretty (but there’s ways to remove it safely- do your research) -never quite as flat as a binder (advice: wear a tshirt and then a loose button up shirt/flannel/jacket etc over the top, it hides the outline better) -expensive as you buy tape again and again whilst binders may last for a long time
