Yaoi-Con 2008 | A Celebration of Male Beauty & Passion in Anime & Manga

n.n I love to crossplay. Last year I discovered that Underworks.com has some really great chest binders!! I have DD boobs and mine squishes them flat. Mind you, they're a little bit hard to get into. They're stretchy, but it takes a lot to stretch them... In my experience, they're a lot better than binding with tape or ace bandages. XD

Oh man, I definitely need to check out that site, then. I am also DD, and I do a lot of crossplay, but massive binding with bandage can hurt after a while. Not to mention that it can sometimes be hard to breathe.

It occured to me...as I was reading over some of these posts....that...cossplaying sorta sounds like midevil torture! ~~

Not to far off, really! XD Hahahaha, oh the things we do for our fandom.

...and the things our fandom does for us!


Mmmmmm...torture....

(to the girls) - about bind: NEVER use Ace (or othersuch) bandages. They're designed to restrict movement, and get tighter each time you move. It would be like wearing a snake. (the reptile kind, pervs =3)

Try finding a sports bra with a high Lycra content. Champion makes some good ones. Get one that a size or two smaller than what you'd normally wear. If want to spend a little more and/or have a larger chest (maybe C and up?), head a sports store (Dick's Sporting Goods?). For some reason, the better "binding" bras are in a section apart from all the other bras. o_O (at least at Dick's).

For more... google "FTM" or "FTM binding" or something.

And remember - beauty is pain! (in the words of the wonderfully gay man at the salon waxed my eyebrows for Prom) <3
