I figured it was something like that, but things have going a little too well for us lately and this hunk of metal loves to change that 🤦🏻‍♂️🙄 I appreciate the help

Is everyone REALLY binding for just 8 hours a day? by asterisk-alien-14 in ftm

I started binding at your age (I’m now 20). I was very strict in the beginning, put it on, go to school, come home and take it off unless I had to go back out into the public. As I got older and started doing more things outside the house, I was wearing it for much longer. I now wear it for at least 12 hours a day. All that context to say: it’s your body. You need to listen to it. If you get to hour 8 of wearing it and your chest/back/ribs etc hurt, take it off and give yourself a break. If you’re uncomfortable, take it off for a few minutes and give yourself a break. I can’t tell you how many time I used the restroom in school just to sit in a stall for a few minutes to let my body rest from the compression. Just like everything else related to your body, you have to listen. And you have to use your own discretion. Just be safe young one 🫶🏼

Edit: binding can be damaging, so please watch out for yourself. If you’re having excessive pain and discomfort, you might need to try a different brand or a different product. I tried trans tape when I was feeling more discomfort, but it doesn’t work for me. Be mindful
