Trans Tape - Tumblr Posts
Screaming crying throwing up dying. But in the good way.
Just asked my sister to get me transtape and she said yes. I actually love my sister omfg. She said she would even just get me it normally, not even just for birthdays or Christmas! She's actually amazing. The light of my life. Oh my lord.
i have recently been able to start using trans tape as a substitute to binders for binding (my ribs are CHEERING) and i've realized that as many tips and guides i've seen about using binders, i haven't seen nearly as much when it comes to using tape. as a newbie to the whole trans tape thing, i want to ask people who have been doing it longer.... what are your best tips and tricks or general advice when it comes to using trans tape?
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!!!
yeah sex is cool but have you ever itched after taking off trans tape
