Wanna Try Trans Tape But I'm Nervous Lol - Tumblr Posts

I’ve been looking into safety for trans tape and I haven’t seen any posts on here with all the tips in one place and so I’ll write them here, for anyone else thinking of using it:

Before applying, make sure to wash skin to make sure there are no oils or moisturisers on your skin

Make nipple covers. This can be done with trans tape by folding a bit in half and sticking that on, so no adhesive side touches

Cut each strip with round corners, so that they are softer on the skin

For bigger chests, laying down whilst applying it can help

Don’t stretch it fully when you apply it, so that you don’t restrict your chest dangerously.

Remove slowly with the use of oil and or a hot shower, making sure to be gentle

While it seems as though there are a lot of things to do to be safe with trans tape, it is a safer alternative to binding and can be worn for far longer. I’ll put other resources I’ve found below:

Safety information for binding or taping chests

Application manual for trans tape

How to apply trans tape for large chests - video

Shop for a starter kit for trans tape

Or, kinesiology tape can be a cheaper alternative, which can be found on amazon just by searching ‘kinesiology tape’

If anyone else has any tips they’d be appreciated!!!
