FauxZombie As some tips if you want to compress your chest never, ever, use ace bandages they can cause some serious damage and even deformities. If you have sports bras then you can try getting a men's compression shirt in sports for about 15-20 bucks at walmart (it may be in the underwear section as well) - if you wear the sports bra, plus compression shirt it'll provide some flatness - and layering helps as well You can also search online for donation programs (for binders) and submit a form in to them and if you don't feel comfortable having it shipped at home, then you could ask a friend if they could take the package for you. Added:: Also... whenever possible, I would recommend seeking a gender therapist but that would also involve coming out to your parents at this time. You're welcome to PM me as well I can provide some insight but not a whole lot (depending on the case)
I've been looking into cosplay for awhile (and have used cosplay as an excuse to look for binders) and my family said ACE bandage. I'll keep what you said in mind.
Thanks! I'll look into those when I got shopping next.
Ah. I'll check it out but I don't have anyone I can send it to. Only one friend knows and I don't think she'd be comfortable with it.
I'll have to look into that when I move out since there isn't a therapist where I live.
Got it. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the reply! THere are some gender therapists who do skype sessions smile the next best bet would then be to look for LGBT friendly ones
If you want to buy a binder, Underworks is the one to go to as they generally are more affordable
