You can buy a sports bra at an athletic store or department store.
If you experience any discomfort, take off 1 or both bras. You might find that wearing the second bra backward flattens your chest more. Try this out to see if it works for you.
It’s best to use a new pair because it will be tighter. However, you can use an old pair of pantyhose if that’s what you have.
Discard the legs of the pantyhose because you won’t need them.
Make sure you cut away all of the cotton portion of the crotch. Otherwise, it’ll be hard to stretch it out for your head to fit through.
You might sweat more while wearing a pantyhose binder because the material typically holds in sweat.
You can buy a camisole where women’s clothing is sold. Using a camisole works best if your breasts are small.
If necessary, use the plastic adjusters on the straps to raise the camisole higher on your chest.
The layers will help smooth out your chest.
If your chest is large, you might wear 2 undershirts with your button-up shirts to hide your chest. Thicker shirts and sweaters are a good way to hide your chest in the winter. During the summer, layer with thinner shirts (like undershirts and T-shirts) to avoid overheating.
You can also wear a tight undershirt to provide more coverage.
You can find compression shirts where athletic wear is sold. You might prefer to buy a shirt from the men’s department.
When you’re not wearing a binder, layered clothing and camisoles can help hide the look of your breasts. Listen to your body. If you’re experiencing discomfort, pain, or difficulty breathing, take a break from binding, even if it hasn’t been 8 hours yet.
Try wearing a t-shirt over a camisole to create the look of a flatter chest.
You can find these products at your local drug store or online.
You’ve probably seen these products used as binders in movies. However, that doesn’t make them safe.
Keep trying different methods until you find what works for you. It might take some time for you to be happy with the results, so don’t give up.
It’s best to just wear 1 sports bra while you’re exercising. If you’re worried your chest will show, try wearing a baggy shirt over your sports bra.
If you’re a minor, you’ll typically need your parent or guardian’s permission for treatment. This might be scary if you haven’t told your parents that you feel more comfortable with your chest bound. However, your health is most important. Just tell your parent or guardian that you’re having trouble breathing and need to see a doctor. You may be able to talk to the doctor alone or you could try passing them a note.
