Chest Binder Guide

Chest binders are a godsend for transgender and gender non-conforming folks, but they do come with a few potential health risks if not done correctly. Many folks that are new to binding make a few common mistakes, but that’s okay! Here are some common pitfalls you should try to avoid:

• Wearing more than one binder at a time (yikes!)
• Binding while exercising, sleeping, or without taking a break

Beyond this, there are no hard and fast rules about wearing a binder – everyone’s experience is a little different. Check out our guide to find out more!
