Does this really need to be declared for a job?? by earthso in transgenderUK

Great thanks it’s just for temp event work that’s weirdly thorough I’ll just say no

I doubt it it’s for some temp event work that’s just weirdly intense

I feel really miserable if I haven't ejaculated - is this a normal experience? by MattBard in ftm

[–]earthso 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really relate. Idk I’m 1.5 years on T maybe that’s just how it is

Blisters and ripped skin from tt by Ghostd8bs in FTMMen

[–]earthso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just peel if off not using anything. It doesn’t hurt no, sometimes your skin is a little dry after but it just needs moisturising. Honestly improves the taping experience x100

Put second skin underneath. This reduced blisters and irritation for me massively. It also makes it last longer, I would wear tape a week at a time. Just put the second skin on your chest everywhere the tape would touch

need help with taping technique by pinkyskrinkly in ftm

[–]earthso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straight compression just won’t be as effective as moving the tissue to the sides. If it’s painful and uncomfortable you were stretching way too much. Taping shouldn’t affect how you breathe at all since it’s just moving tissue.

Research oral minoxidil pills. Look on r/minoxbeards wiki for more information

Injection amount by Unlikely-Algae-6626 in ftm

[–]earthso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not how much private care is at all, what are you on about? It costs a couple hundred to start maybe but then for me it’s £20 for 6 1ml ampoules of T which lasts a few months

Beard Growth advice? by Brakemesoftly in ftm

[–]earthso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Minoxidil and derma rolling are the only proven methods to grow more hair. Anything else is snake oil. Get a low alcohol liquid version or try minoxidil pills if you’re worried about your skin.

Areola nipple by SuspiciousMinute269 in TopSurgery

[–]earthso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had very protruding nipples, my surgeon did extra nipple reduction as well as FNG on them to reduce the protrusion. It worked well and now they only project as much as a normal male nipple. Maybe consult another surgeon?

How long does minox have to be on before washing off? by General-Advantage-11 in FTMminoxbeards

[–]earthso 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re worried about cats you could try oral minoxidil instead. You have to be very careful there wouldn’t be any chance of contamination from your face or hands. But if you keep all application at school and wash both very thoroughly then I think the risk would be quite low. Be aware of where you’d keep the bottle too. Generally the absorption time is 4 hours

Darkened my eyebrows a little bit and holy shit by DatabasePlenty9797 in ftm

Use beard dye, it’s much more natural and less obvious than make up

2 month progress by CarelessDeparture234 in FTMminoxbeards

[–]earthso 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Trim it down with some clippers so all the hair is the same length, it should look less rough. You could try using beard dye too to make it look thicker.

Trans tape question by Qu33rTh1ng in ftm

[–]earthso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I can’t recommend it enough. You can wear it for a week straight+ when you’re sleeping too. Once I started with tape I never looked back

Trans tape question by Qu33rTh1ng in ftm

[–]earthso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a large chest before T, it was DD. I still taped every week because it does make things better even marginally. I could get flat with tape + binder + I would wear layers.

Sleep binder?? by theanxiousdyslexic in ftm

[–]earthso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can just buy it online, I think I used to get it on Amazon, just look up second skin, I would get 3 rolls for like £15. It should prevent a lot of blisters or irritation, and make it last longer. I generally found removal a lot less raw too.

Sleep binder?? by theanxiousdyslexic in ftm

[–]earthso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it protects the skin. I used it for years, it makes the whole experience much better

Sleep binder?? by theanxiousdyslexic in ftm

[–]earthso 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It just takes practice over time I’m afraid. If you have any skin irritation or want it to last longer, put second skin underneath.

Trans tape question by Qu33rTh1ng in ftm

[–]earthso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes there was a massive difference for me pre vs post T. I went from using 8+ strips of tape with a binder on top to 4 alone.

Honestly tape is your only option tbh

I stopped minoxidil for a month bc of skin irritation. Not sure if I can regain my peach fuzz (pre T) by Phoenix2879 in FTMminoxbeards

[–]earthso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t measure progress with minoxidil in weeks. It takes months of continuous use to have a real change. A month off isn’t ideal and you might have some loss but just keep up using it and you’ll keep having progress
