Shapeshifters binder review

The specifications of the binder I got were:

Colour: Poplar (skin tone) with a mesh back (do not recommend getting a mesh back for reasons I will explain)

Length: 16 inches

Measurements: chest of 40 inches and underbust of 33 inches

Other add-ons: narrow straps (highly recommend), stiff insert

Overall, I was kind of unhappy with this binder given how much it cost me. It was too small even though I gave the right measurements and I don’t like the seams or texture much as an autistic person.

Sizing:

When I ordered it, it was too small. It would leave these marks under my armpits and hurt my back like crazy, which confused me given I gave the right measurements. Maybe it’s because I naturally have broader shoulders, but they didn’t ask for my shoulder measurements so I didn’t think that would affect it.

I then sent it to get made bigger and to widen the armholes at the back, and that worked pretty well, but it’s still a bit too small I think because I don’t find I can wear it comfortably as long as I can my other binders. I’m losing some weight though, so hopefully the binder should fit me properly soon.

Binding ability:

It’s pretty good, but not the best I’ve gotten. I still have a bit of a chest bump, but it’s to be expected given I don’t have a small chest (which is why I got a custom-made binder in the first place). The stiff insert is good for creating a smoother line down from under the chest to your stomach.

Comfort:

The seams are covered, which is good for my sensory issues

The binder is made of a few layers of mesh. It’s not super rough, but I still don’t find it very sensory friendly. If you have sensory issues that require soft fabrics, I wouldn’t recommend this binder to you because of the meshy inner lining.

Miscellaneous:

The binder is pretty visible under clothes. This is because the seams are quite thick and kind of stick out, so their outline is visible under t-shirts. Also, there is a clear line where the stiff insert ends, making that visible under clothes too.

Also, the mesh back is white which kind of defeats the purpose of getting a skin tone binder because the back doesn't match my skin tone. This is not something wrong with Shapeshifters though since I made that specification when ordering the binder

National Doctors’ Day was picked to commemorate the first use of anesthesia during surgery in 1842 by Dr. Crawford in Georgia.

Ironic how doctors in Gaza are performing surgeries today without proper anesthesia.

I’m gonna be honest I do not care if a trans boy teen is annoying and has horrible taste in music y’all are just mean.

I’d rather hang around with Karkat who listens to Cavetown than someone who is mean.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but: If you're a man -whether you've been one all your life or just recently started to notice within yourself the need to become one- that's enough.

You don't have to pass a test, there is no quiz, you don't have to check a minimum amount of gender role boxes. No one can tell you HOW to be a man. It doesn't matter how you look or how your body looks, how you talk, how you act, how you behave, what your sexuality is. You don't even have to fit in with the other guys. If being a man feels right for you, you can say "This is me and I'm a man".

The gender police will never knock on your door. Your gender is your own business and no one else's. No one can tell you what a man can or can't do. There is no wrong way to be a man. Be the kind of man you want to be, the kind that sparks joy. You can do it, bro. I believe in you.

Tumblr flagged this post as sexually explicit and it's literally just a trans dude in high fantasy art.

Make it make sense.

cargo pants propaganda

- they're baggy so you can wear layers underneath it if it's cold and they still look swaggy

- boxy silhouette +3 masc points

- can come in multiple colours (i have a neon blue one a beige one and a soft green one)

but most importantly

- POCKETS

someone should totally do one of those tumblr tournament things with Transmasc Euphoria Clothing/Items™️
