Sometimes I'm ok with being and looking like a woman, but sometimes it's uncomfortable. I'm big and super curvy. There is really no hiding the hips, butt, and boobs. Still, I've tried a binder which I had to modify to even get on as well as various sports bras and bandage options to try to minimize. But, my damn have-to-special-order-bras buubs looks terrible smooshed. Like, mono boob, push up, push down, squish out the sides, and still enough of a shelf to catch crumbs from my dinner or give my chin a rest. Any advice? I mean, other than lose weight and try to shrink.
Hmm... Did you follow the size chart that the site provided? If you did, the only thing I can think are one of two things. 1) Try wearing another layer of clothing under your binder; like a shirt or tank top. I've noticed when I tried this, it made my chest a bit flatter, but not too flat to where it would look unnatural for a chubby guy like myself. 2) Perhaps you got the wrong size, and need one that's the next step down. I would say double check again with your measurements and how they compare to the size chart on the site to be absolutely sure. My partner ran into a similar situation, where he followed the chart but the binder was too big on him. That could be the case for you too.
I could not find a size chart becore I ordered it, but its definitely too small. I had to modify it to get it to work at all. Maybe I dont even know what the androgynous version of my body type would look like. I feel like you have to be super skinny to pull off that look, and the plus size version is like, look, that lady has short hair and a bow tie. Sometimes I wish I had body options and could switch out when I want.
I feel your pain, but in reverse! I wear breast forms to have boobs at all, and I'm.. shall we say.. generously sized. Ok, I'm chubby. The firs pair of forms I got wound up being a large D cup on me, which was fun at first, but then I really felt like I was overdoing it. I got a new pair that took me down to a nice comfy C cup. I would LOVE to have some curves (besides the round shape I already have) and am working on it, battling the tasty food monsters that beset me at every turn. (It's my wife's fault for being a great cook, I tell ya!) As it is, I don't really have curves to wear a garter belt since it tends to slide off my tummy, and so have to work a little harder to pull of a sexy look. Ok, a lot harder. So reverse sympathies from me. And from talking to trans men I have met, would second Daydreamer1's suggestions. Something under the binder smooths it all out. Yeah, you look like a chubby guy a little, but if you're going for a more masculine look, it does help. Warm hugs! Morgana
Haha, yeah, the best I have managed so far is looking like a sausage with a built in chin rest, lol This sure isnt the same, but... I need to buy some regular bras anyway. Ive never had a minimizer bra. I might try that, to see if it helps me feel good without making it look like I have one monoboob pointing straight ahead. I tried to remeasure today, since I know my band size is hurting lately. Special order rediculousness is somewhere around a 42H. I would need Hermione Granger to apply my binder to make these girls disqppear.... Wait, that sounds awesome on so many levels.
I've always said... if there were a magical or technological way for me to set my gender to how I want to be for a particular time, I would do it in a heartbeat! Perhaps a spell called Alteriam Genderificus to continue with your Harry Potter analogy I did not know with what cup size you were dealing when I seconded the above suggestion. I will defer to more experienced folk in dealing with such issues. In the meantime, I am going to continue my magickal researches! Witch Morgana
