    I finally ordered a couple of chest binders!!! I've been really nervous to order them because I don't want my parents finding out but I am hoping that it won't have to be signed for when they're delivered. If not them I'm pretty sure I'll be safe.
    I have thought about telling my Mum, but I just decided not to for now because I don't want her thinking it means something serious when it's actually just because I'm self concious and have never really felt comfortable with them.
    I ordered 2 of them; one in medium and one in large, just in case one or the other doesn't fit, and I got them from eBay which only sod them for like £2 including postage! Though it's going to take maybe 2-3 weeks for them to get here but it's better than nothing. Hopefully they'll arrive before it gets too hot to wear a jumper as well as a t-shirt!
    Anyway, just wanted to share because it's a huge relief, even though I'm a bit nervous. :icon_bigg

    Awesome! :grin: I remember being both nervous and excited about getting my binder. The wait felt like forever, but it was so worth it.

    Just a tip my friends taught me here but sometimes it actually helps to start large and work down. So even if you large is a little big and you're in between sizes try the large for a while before squeezing into a medium and the medium will feel more comfortable.
