Hey. Large chest people that want it to be smaller and flatter. I have a tip for you.

I am a trans man. I have an h cup chest. That is not a typo, not a brag, and not an invitation to sexually harass me. This means I have about 4 pounds of breast. This means that binders do not work for me. There’s not enough structure in the compression to keep that much weight in place.

I wore a sports bra under my binder, for a time- it kept things in place, and the binder flattened. This isn’t really safe and I recommend against it. It also never actually got me looking masc- I tended to look like I had between a c or b cup. TransTape I discarded too- it’s just not sturdy enough.

Enter Enell. Specifically, the Enell Sport High Impact Bra.

I want you to look at the construction of that sports bra. It clasps in the front. This flattens the chest. And since it’s a sports bra designed for busty people, it LOCKS everything in place. When I wear my Enell sports bra, I do not bounce. It also gets me looking like I have an a cup at worst- and at best, when I layer, I actually look masc.

Admittedly, they’re not cheap. That one’s 66$. But I’ve tried even custom binders, and they don’t work as well as Enell. I was actually contemplating a custom built corset before I found Enell. Enell is also much, much safer than layering compression, since it is being used as intended (sort of). As a bonus, you can actually exercise in it- it’s a sports bra!

I will note that they use their own sizing system, so you will have to measure yourself.

Happy binding!

it seems like a lot of artists don’t know this—which I understand if you’re not a white cane user—but if you’re drawing a blind character who uses a white cane, the looped elastic cord on the top of the handle does not go around the wrist! It is not a wrist strap! It’s just there to hang it up when not in use or to bundle the sections together when folded. Some canes have it labeled in pictures specifically as a wrist strap but it is not a wrist strap, no matter who says what. Putting the cord around your wrist is actually very dangerous and can lead to serious injury if you suddenly drop your cane or if it is somehow pulled away or taken from you otherwise— it’s better to lose the cane than to injure your arm, wrist, or hand!

I’ve seen this kind of thing a lot in the ATLA and Daredevil fandom, but it applies basically to any art of people using white canes in general.

TLDR the elastic cord on a white cane handle is not a wrist strap and should never be used as one!

My last post about portraying blind characters got a bunch of dumb comments on it so this is okay to reblog but don’t add anything to it, I’ve made all the points I need to make.
