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.
