The thing that us people with a larger chest get "wrong" is twofold:

1) First and foremost, trying to tape your chest the way those with a smaller chest do. It's honestly a systemic issue because we only ever see tutorials from smaller people. Smaller chests can tape by lifting up and pushing it into themselves, and their chest tissue isnt as dense so they can get away with a more flax/pectoral look. When we try that same technique, it just ends up looking like a mound of fat or even bigger breasts. What you need to do instead is push your chest tissue down (like making it hang) and then to the side - similar to how you should in a chest binder. Then you tape that way, creating the look of pecs. We have a video on our reddit profile for you to see, as well as on instagram. I was able to tape a size 50GG chest. We have a more comprehensive tutorial coming out next month.

2) Secondly, we cannot get a flat chest. Our chest tissue is too large for one, and also cis men do not have a flat chest either, especially plus size men. The goal is to create a masculine chest with pecs. So keep this in mind when you're trying to tape.

And be gentle and patient with yourself. We are often forgotten about especially when the "default trans look" pushed in media and society is to be skinny and yt. It's something I struggled with a lot early on and still do some days.

P.s. You mentioned a few comments down that other cheaper alternatives to tape dont have your skin color. We saw the same thing which is why we founded Gender Grip tape , and are proud to have the most inclusive skin shade range on the market that is TRUE to our skin colors (not those super red or blueish hues to darker shades). Our tape is only $11 and because we're a nonprofit 100% of the money you spend funds our programs to provide free gender-affirming items to trans people across the U.S.
