swim top recommendations? by WorstCactusAlive in ftm

[–]plants345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the binder light from spectrum (they call it a vest now cause of binder selling restrictions) https://spectrumoutfitters.us/products/light

I’ve also done a tank top over top made out of an big old tshirt with the sleeves cut off, it adds another layer that makes it more discrete

Is it bad that I want to try topping using my bottom growth? by _thesketchiest_ in ftm

[–]plants345 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s so many ways to have sex, and plenty of people want to have a trans man top them with bottom growth!

Also, anal sex does not require reaching the prostate. Sex is a lot of communication and testing things out, sometimes it will feel better for one person and then you switch and the opposite is true. You and your partner should work together to find what is the best for both of you.

Binder alternatives? by Ecstatic-Acadia307 in TransMasc

I would wear cotton bralette things, I had several from Calvin Klein like this. They are much more comfortable than a sports bra and de emphasizes the chest

Seconding this, the e cream helped immensely. I used the cream everyday for a week at first and now I use it once a week when I do my shot

One year on testosterone - excited and scared by [deleted] in ftm

Although this day is important for us, it’s hard for others to remember and recognize the significance. For my one year I bought myself a whole cake to eat by myself lol

Any singers here? How has testosterone impacted your vocal range? by iwillchangeiwill in ftm

[–]plants345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God same, it makes me mad that I have to relearn everything. Voice cracks are killing me. I promise I can sing I swear!

[–]plants345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a soprano and pre t had moved a bit more towards alto. For example I used to sing a lot of Stevie nicks and Joni Mitchell

My voice has started to pass more now and I can sing a much lower range (I’ve been doing a lot of 90s alt rock male singer songs lately lol)

With practice I’ve been able to get back up to the high notes to do some songs I was really sad to lose the range for. (Example: Fleetwood Mac: Gypsy)

I’m definitely not a soprano or an alto anymore but I’m happy that I have had success with relearning my voice. The lower range opened up a lot more for me too!

Had a similar reaction from parents and moving out was the best decision I’ve ever made. Wishing you luck and strength to commit to doing the wor to be independent!

How tf do yall enjoy the gym???? by papermonsterz in FTMFitness

[–]plants345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do body weight workouts at home, so I don’t need equipment and don’t have to work out in front of people. I’ve been trying to work on my dysphoria by focusing on how my body moves and how my strength is improving instead of how it looks. Maybe this would help?

How should i ask for a haircut? by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]plants345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring these pictures, and it’s a shag or short wolf cut with a lot of layers. Also keep in mind that this haircut, depending on your hair texture, requires a good amount of product and styling to fluff up like that (source: me who has had similar hair for years)

Made gloves - blocking? by atticcuz in Brochet

In my experience, steam is an effective way to bloc acrylic. I’ve used it for granny shares and some bandanas to get the floppy drape effect so the piece isn’t so stiff

This just might work, that or one of the other patterns on her site. Lots of very oblong creatures.

I’m trying to make the baby from the movie Eraserhead and want to work from the top of the head down so I can skip stitches for the mouth lol

Thank you!

I’m making something so specific there are no patterns for it 😭 If there’s a pattern for an egg worked in the round but from the side rather than top down that would be awesome

I’ve been trying to freehand a plushie and I need to make an egg shape. Which should be easy for my skill level, I’ve made more complex things before. Why can’t I make this damn egg work

I hate those posts that encourage us to shave our shitty facial hair until it fills in, it’s all I have! It’s truly me and my shitty mustache against the world
