binders and amusement parks

Depends on how well you can breathe on it- if you'll already struggle with your breathing already it's not a good idea. ^_^ I wore mine, but I'm only a 32B, so I don't know what it's like for "larger" people.

 

If it'll be your first time wearing a binder I wouldn't. :/ You should take time to adjust your body to it before you try to do a full day in it. Also, and you'll be able to tell for yourself once you're used to it but, certain activities will hurt (not like a bad pain, but you'll feel constricted; i.e.: for me, I can't do karaoke in my binder). Amusements parks are pretty likely to fall in that category I would think.

If you're really excited about it (which you probably will be), try just wearing it for lunch or something and changing back for while you're at the park.

Happy Birthday, good luck, and congrats ahead of time!

 

I wouldn't if you hadn't had some experience with a binder yet. If you can breathe well, and you know your limits to what you can do in it/how long you can wear it reasonably well then go ahead but if you've just gotten it by the time you go then don't.

 

For the first week, work your way up to the 8-10 hour limit. Don't wear it 8 hours on the first day you have it; maybe wear it about 4. 8-10 hours is a good limit for how long you can wear it, but that doesn't make sense for everyone. Some people can easily wear it longer without any discomfort, but some people can't wear it even a full 8 hours. Just pay attention to how it feels and do what's good for you.

If, when you're used to it at the end of the week, you can breathe fine and be completely comfortable wearing it for longer than the amount of time you'll be at the amusement park, it should be fine. Still, bring a sports bra or something to change into so you can take your binder off if it starts hurting.
