Ask other for advice on the best devices to use (NOT SEXUAL ONES)

like chest binds, Prostetics , care products and the likes. also can ask questions about them. and suggestions.

Alright, eres a question.

Any advice on where to find a better chest bind? Ive been usuing a series of girdles , velcro straps and wraps to bind down my chest meat since they pretty much started growing, but its a hassle every morning to put on so much equipment , not to mention the sweat that accumulates underneath the chest meat sometimes causes rashes.

I was wondering if anyone knew of something better i could be using, or maybe even places that might sell chest binds made to bind down the useless chest meat till i get the funds and doc i need to remove them altogether.
At the very least easier to put on every morning. ive done some searching myself, but have gotten nowhere. maybe someone here can point me in the right dirrection, or atleast a better one.

I looked around a bit and came across a couple of things that might help. The first one is a guide and general tips for ftm people, and the second is a review on a chest binding shirt with a link to a store that sells different kinds.

The guide

Review plus store lin

I hope these help!

Thank you they helped alot . atleast for now i know a better way of dealing with the binder im working with to stop the rashes lol, and im looking into the others. unfortunately when looking for binders im usually confronted with two problems

Funds, and the size . Gods cruel joke, a man with very large chest meat.
and many of the other binds ive tried dont work well enough for the size i have to deal with. but hopefully the first one already helped tramendously .
Atleast now i have some information to work with.
for years its been something ive had to deal with alone.

thank you.

Also you wouldnt happen to know of a doc in the US who would do mastectomy's for low (almost no) income people would ya? never hurts to ask, though probably just wishful thinking >.<

You're very welcome, and I'm glad to have been able to help. I'm not very knowledgeable about it, but I'm pretty good at finding information, haha. It must be tough, but know that I'm always available to offer an open mind and an open ear.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any low cost surgeons. Sadly, for the most part transgendered surgeries are looked at as a luxury, not a necessity, so most if not all insurance companies won't cover it. The cost of surgeries mostly stem from the difficulty, and vary. I did however find some information on what to expect in the form of costs.

The only suggestion is probably something you're already doing; save up until you have enough to cover the costs.
