Binder question! (lemmy.world)

Hey fellow enbies!

Does anyone here have experience with binders? Specifically, do they permanently alter the shape of your chest? I like my naked body and view is as gender neutral, but I'd like to be READ as more neutral while wearing clothes sometimes. So I want to bind in a way that won't alter how my naked body looks. What's your experience with that?

Thanks!

So I'm transfem and have never used binders, but from what I understand wearing ones that are too tight for extended periods of time can hurt your breast tissue. So long as you get ones that fit you properly you are likely good to go?

Don't quote me on this. Hope you can find some good answers

From my experiences as a trans femme that likes binding sometimes, I'm 99% sure this is the case. As long as you follow gc2b's (or another reputable brand's) size guide then you should be golden.
