Breast Removal

NAS49761

I'll address this to all female sexed as only female sexed have breasts.

I'm seriously considering breast removal as my breasts are really beginning to irritate me and at times it's getting quite distressing and distracting.

It started with bras feeling so uncomfortable around my mid region, I say mid region as when I was younger my bras were further up my body so I didn't feel anything 'digging' in to me or constricting. Being older my breasts are further down so my bras now seem to go around the top of my stomach and lower chest. 

My friend took me for a bra fitting in Debenhams a while ago and it did feel a bit better initially, but it's getting to the point I just want to get them off my body.

I've tried alternative support experimenting with neck scarfs - making them into a sling type shape - which is better but was sore on my neck.

I even hate the feeling of them against my body when I don't wear bra and the way they move around so don't want to do that either. This was something I didn't like either when I was younger so that has remained.

I can't think of any other way to resolve the 'feeling' issues, this is quite distressing for me, I haven't mentioned this to anyone else, I don't know what else to do but there are times I want to just try and cut them off myself.

    I am a pre-op trans man and I hate my boobs so I can totally relate. I have spent my life hating that they're there and wishing I could wake up and they'd be gone. Since I have come out and started binding I feel much better, but there are things you should consider. 

    1. A binder should always be a size bigger than your other clothes (I wear large in clothes so my binder is XL). Not doing this can cause damage to your ribs.
    2. You should only wear a binder for UPTO 8 hours a day (I have a XXXL that I wear the rest of the time).
    3. You should not use the cheap hook and eye binders, ever.
    4. You should not use tape or bandages as you are likely to make it tighter than it should be.
    5. You should be able to breathe in a well fitting binder.
    6. Always read reviews before buying a new brand for the first time and tiktok and YouTube are good places to find more information. 

    I will check the name of the brand I use, if you are big breasted you will need a full length binder, they can be annoying because they sometimes ride up, but you would hang out of a short one so take on a weird body shape. 

    That being said, I have never felt as 'me' as I do in a binder and I highly recommend them if you stick to the rules.
