Binding..?
As long as I've been here, I don't think I've ever posted a topic here before. 0w0
Okay so, despite my lack of defined gender I have decided on one thing, which is that my chest should be flat.
I can't afford a real binder, and ace bandage, although affordable, also hurts like a bitch. I'm in need of ideas. I was thinking I could make one from fabric or old clothes or something (maybe modify a sports bra? I dunno.) but I don't know where to start. So if anyone had any ideas I'd be totally grateful.
Also, while you're here, if you can think of any androgynous sounding nicknames, that would be awesome. :D
Thanks for your time. :)

Hm...
First: Ace bandages are BAD BAD BAD. You will seriously fuck up your ribs. Seriously.
Second: The top of a pair of control top tights or pantyhose works pretty well, but buy a couple to experiment with, so you can find a way to cut it so it doesn't roll up, because rolled-up binders suck.

C'mon Google, get with it!
The contextual ads on this page are about journals and creative writing, so I guess in their world you want to bind a book...

not everyone wants what they don't have...
i've got boobs and i love 'em! C cups, baby. i can't imagine trying to strap them down... but i wouldn't wanna cuz they're one of my best features for sure.

I agree, but I wouldn't want a completely flat chest, I have a certain degree of affection...erm.
Trade?
...I'd give like, chest sizes in return for a few extra vertical inches.

Believe me, I would trade with you if I could!!

So, I decided to go to the fabric store today, and i picked up four feet of fabric. (Something stretchy, I don't remember what kind though. DX ) And then I decided to just wing it and cut it up and sew it together and see what happened.
And after lots of sewing and cutting and sewing and cutting and re-sewing, I figured it out. So much flatter now. Despite the fact that my chest is being squished, it feels great. XD (And SO much less painful/damaging than bandages.)
^^ Thanks for the help all. Also, the book thing amuses me. YES I NEED TO BIND A BOOK! So important to my gender identity! XD
Also also, I shouldn't ever be allowed to eat chocolate covered espresso beans... EVER. >_>

I would love you forever if you tell me your secret!

For the binder? I basically made a tank top that's already a little small, and then on the inside of the front I put a piece of fabric that's not very wide so it stretches a lot.. it's hard to explain though. I could take pictures next time I make one though. ^^

You just made my day! *hugs*
