Chest binding is increasing in popularity among trans and non-binary people who want to diminish the appearance of their chest.
:"It's essentially a compression undergarment that binds the breasts to the body creating a flatter chest.
"Someone navigating their gender identity may opt to use a chest binder to make their presenting gender and their gender identity more compatible," Banwell said. They are also not recommended for wear during exercise, instead you should look for a sports bra that has a similar flattening effect.Binders are not for everyone and there are other methods of flattening the chest area which may suit you better."It won't provide as much compression as a specially designed binder but it can be a first step," Banwell said.You could also try kinetic tape as Banwell explained:"This is a type of medical tape that can be used for chest binding.
He added:"Trial and error may help to decide which binder is right for you... It's largely down to personal preference."
