PERSONA DANCING ALL OVER MY SOUL

PSA FOR TRANS GUYS AND QUEER PEOPLE WHO WEAR CHEST BINDERS

Summer is fucking brutal in a lot of places, which means we need to be extra careful. As you’re enjoying the season, please remember:

Don’t wear your binder for more than 8 hours at a time!
Drink ALL THE WATER. The compression against your chest will make you exponentially more fatigued and light-headed if you become dehydrated.
Don’t wear you binder any longer than you need to. Whenever you’re relaxing at home, it’s best to wear a light t-shirt and no binder so your body has a chance to relax. It will get hella sweaty under your binder in hot weather, so take every chance you get to let your body breathe.
Be conscious of your posture; being hunched over will cause more pressure and sweating on your chest, which can cause dizziness.

Hey there! I remember you saying that you were going to model for a brand of binders, and I also remember that they looked awesome. One had a scale-like pattern for example. Do you know what I mean and/or where to buy them??? Thank you in advance :)

Yes, actually! I still need to get my friend to come over with their camera, but I recently received a galaxy-print binder from Shapeshifters. They’re an awesome business run by LGBT+ people for LGBT+ people, and one of the store’s owners, Eli, was exceptionally friendly with their customer service and enlisting me to be as model for them. They even specified looking for plus-sized, minority models ((with other usually avoided traits in fashion models)). So I would SUPER recommend looking into them. Plus, their patterns are FREAKING AMAZING. I’ll have better pictures soon, but here’s a selfie for now. C:
