hi I want to try binding but can't get hold of a real binder and I can't get ace bandages either. I don't want to bind for any more than like ten minutes is there anything else I could use? I'm about a 36 D :icon_wink
I use to be a D-cup before I changed my diet, I went to Target and bought two extra-small sports bras (thick ones with no lift) and wore them crisscrossed over each other. It worked pretty well for me as long as I didn't wear skin tight shirts, and I could wear it all day (if you ever need to build up to that point). By the way, I don't recommend ace bandages. I also tried wearing that all day and although It was the flattest I've ever been, it was incredibly painful. I guess it would be okay for ten minuets, but if you need to move around or wear them for any significant period of time your probably going to feel faint.
thx guys I'm a bit confused about the definition of a sports bra? Are they the ones made entirely with lycra stuff or are they the ones with the under wire? If you could send me a pic of the kind you're talking about I'd be muy happy(*hug*)
I'm thinking that they're talking about the lycra ones. That's what a Sportsbra is to me. NO underwire Lycra (compression short material-like) usually Squishes boobs in lieu of supporting them so they don't flop while running etc...
Never ever ever ever use ace bandages to bind. It tightens every time you breathe and can crack your ribs or fill your lungs with fluid. you're gonna want one like this. as tight as it can be without irritating your skin or constricting your breathing. Then wear a tight tank top over the top of it and try to push everything to the outsides and down.
