Binding issues

[hil0]

I have a problem that might cause binding issues, and I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem

I had a similar experience upon starting T. Cutting back on caffeine also helps if you consume it.

I have that. Hard tissue and large breasts (Just plain D for me, though). I've been binding for a while and I've noticed that it's alright for short term, but if I bind all day every day it starts to get really sore and tender to the touch. I'm taking a break on binding right now (day off from work) with hopes that the pain will dull again.

I'd say give it a try and if it hurts too much, don't push it. You don't want to cause serious damage to yourself.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah I kinda figured I might have to do something like that, only choose special times to bind, and not wear it at home.

Pre HRT/top surgery, I had dense tissue and issues with my lymph nodes near my armpits prior to binding. Pre HRT it was difficult/painful. About 2 months into HRT, the lymph nodes stopped acting up and binding was only irritating after 10 or more hours at a stretch. Clearly, ymmv.

Okay, it seems most pain issues goes away once you start on T, and that's pretty hopeful at least.

I don't have the lumps, but I'm pretty big - your size or bigger, and I find binding looser can actually give me a better look since I don't get weird bulges in odd places, and is, for me, quite comfortable.

You may try a common type of binding, but err on the side of looser when choosing sizes.

That's a really nice point, and something I've been contemplating myself, actually, though mostly in the hopes it would be somewhat more comfortable.
