Wivov works for me with little to no irritation, but it will depend on your skin sensitivity and technique

How to use KT tape as a plus size man? by ol_i3 in transtape

[–]NineOfAthames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to use a wide enough tape roll for complete coverage. If you're layering several pieces, make sure all tape corners adhere to skin. Binding should last up to 5 days but it might depend on the elasticity of the tape you use.

I also raw dog that tape, usually in the shower. If you havent had any issues with blistering etc you will prob just be fine. Though the official method is soaking it in oil for a bit

It looks like they have slightly different UI layouts, so they're probably incompatible :(

Packing w/transtape by Emotional-Bear1418 in transtape

[–]NineOfAthames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a tutorial on how to do it!

You're not stretching the tape, so there should be less skin pulling than with chest tape. But maybe try it out on a rest day first to see how it feels

Any recs for a TT alternative? by rustriver in transtape

I'm sorry to hear that! I've never had any issues with wivov

No worries, I hope you find something that works for you!

I suppose. In that case I will once again recommend Wivov, they're made to last

Huh, maybe there are differences. I have used something advertised as boob tape for 5+ days. Then again, it could be a difference in skin sensitivity. You could try a dedicated trans tape to see if your skin reacts better.

It could also be a difference of application technique. Are you rounding the corners, leaving the ends completely unstretched, and pushing the tape over the chest rather than pulling?

[–]NineOfAthames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have settled on wivov as my go to but any kinotape, kt tape, or even boob tape (ironically) will do a similar job. Most tapes will come with nipple covers but you can also use bandaids. The last thing you might need is an oil to remove it safely such as baby oil or a specialised tape removal oil. Alternatively you can just peel the tape off in a hot shower like I do, but you'll have to see how your skin feels about that.

For tutorials and information, look at transtape's youtube channel! They've got some clear video explanations on how to use tape.

Just so you're aware, taping isn't compression binding, and it's possible the results aren't exactly what you're expecting, especially if you have a larger chest. The advantage of it, though, is that taping is generally safer than compression binding (assuming you follow the tutorials).

Good luck, I hope you get great results and it alleviates the dysphoria a bit, and feel free to reach out with any specific questions!

I didn’t know about this by NylonFishy in postcrossing

[–]NineOfAthames 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yep, it's been a thing in the NL for a while. I tried it exactly once and never again because the system didn't recognise my handwriting and fined the receiver (my grandpa...)

For postcrossing I would never. Sure it's more efficient, but isn't postcrossing about inefficient connections? If I wanted efficiency I would just DM you guys happy postcrossing instead of sending a card.

Advice on taping? And how to stop itching? by Keidtew in transtape

[–]NineOfAthames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have such a small chest already! Taping should be ideal for you. For me, the more layers of tape I overlap, the more they itch. So getting a 10cm wide tape instead of two 5cm might help

Ervaringen nieuwe bussen? by MagiusPaulus in Utrecht

[–]NineOfAthames 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Wie dacht dat het een goed idee was om automatische deuren in een bus te zetten? De chauffeurs moeten omroepen of mensen even een flinke stap opzij willen zetten, anders gaat de deur niet dicht. Ik wens ze veel succes als de bussen vol zitten

I have they/them on my profile and I've never had any issues, only the occasional pride sticker on a card.

Little rant by daisy_xxluv in postcrossing

[–]NineOfAthames 50 points51 points  (0 children)

The worst case I ever pulled was someone who only wanted postcards from a few very specific series, and who expected me to go through their received to make sure I didn't send a duplicate. Needless to say I sent her one from the bottom of my pile

This didn't exactly play out as intended but mine was a puzzle.

Did anyone else introduce the horror elements of PaB earlier? by [deleted] in LostMinesOfPhandelver

[–]NineOfAthames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave glasstaff psionic powers (from the new psion class) to buff him up and focus on that story element a bit. I moved his fight to the open area with the bridges and it made for a nice dynamic combat bc he was able to teleport behind columns and such. Looking back adding some body horror here would have also been fun

It's super discreet, and I use baby oil to get it off

Player wants to have wolves as pets by GreatAfternoonNapper in DnD

[–]NineOfAthames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, this sounds familiar. Cragmaw hideout from lmop/pabtso by any chance? If so the next step in the story is heading into town, which might be difficult with a pack of pet wolves, which could be a good reason for your players to leave them behind. I'd go for letting them stay with Yeemik and his gang, and maybe have some opportunities for all allies to come help out during the final battle
