    PSA: Be safe when binding with KT Tape


    I've seen a few posts on here talking about binding with
    KT Tape recently, and while I totally understand the
    need to mitigate dysphoria, it's really important to do it
    safely.

    KT Tape can be very useful for binding for a lot of


    reasons, namely that it's waterproof, cooler than a
    standard binder, and lasts for about a week. It's also
    much harder for other people to spot, so it's good for
    those who are stealth.

    However, it does come with a few risks. If you bind


    incorrectly with KT Tape, you risk losing circulation in
    your chest, which if left alone can cause tissue loss. It's
    also incredibly hard to remove before it comes off
    naturally, and trying to do so can damage your skin.

    When I bound with KT Tape for the first time, I did it


    incorrectly, and started losing feeling in my chest on
    day 3. I had to take it off or risk tissue loss, which
    resulted in chemical burns on my chest and side.
    They've healed, but I've got scars there now. It could
    have been my inexperience binding with KT Tape, or
    the fact that I'm a DD cup, but my experience with KT
    Tape wasn't very good.

    I know a lot of people have a lot of success with it, but I


    wouldn't recommend binding this way. It's got a lot of
    risks, and there are ways to bind that are safer than
    this.

    I've only been taping for two months but after
    nearly 10 years of binding, I think it's fucking
    incredible. I think at this point the risks associated
    with damaging my lungs vs my skin is worth it... I
    just made a Youtube video about it, check it out

    I don't know- it appears to be different but I've
    only tried brand name KT Tape. I'd imagine it
    functions in much the same way, though.

    Edit: I just dug a little deeper--it's a bit


    different than KT Tape, namely that it's a little
    wider, so probably a little easier to use. The
    adhesive seems to be the same.

    To be fair, binding with KT tape is recommended
    for smaller chests and you really shouldn't leave it
    on for more than three days anyway. This
    information isn't always a given (and I find that the
    Transtape website doesn't do a great job of letting
    you know the risks) And really no form of binding
    is actually 100% safe. I'm sorry you had that
    experience though, it sounds uncomfortable at
    best and painful :/. I'm a size 34C and I've found
    tape tends to work well for me, but again, I never
    leave it on for more than three days. It's all a little
    bit of trial and error unfortunately, and it's always
    best to listen to your body, so if your feeling numb
    it's obviously best to take it off and probably avoid
    that type of binding. Thanks for sharing your
    experience though! I'm sure you're not alone.

    Sorry if this is weird, but I'm also a 34C, can
    you like, show me how to use it .3. or like
    explain- I can't understand the little box or
    whatever (I have a hard time going from text -
    on my body. I always need help because I ma
    bean and if I don't I literally end up cutting
    myself somehow. I cut myself on bread once
    as a kid because nobody explained how to
    open it.... I'm very smart I swear) (also this is
    only if u want to cuz like ye)
