Hey! Are you a young trans (or just someone who wears a binder) who is still in school, is hiding a binder from their parents and doesn’t know how they’re going to wash it? Cause you’ve come to the right place!! (This is also just a tutorial on how I wash my binder).
Step 1: Be prepared.
It will be helpful if you go to a school where you carry a bag around. You need to prepare that morning. Make sure you have nothing going on that day after school. You’re going to need:
Your binder
A plastic bag (preferably two)
Washing detergent (either buy some before/after school, steal from your laundry or use hand soap like I did)
A sink (with water)
A normal bra
A clothes hanger
A school bag
And a towel.
You’re going to need to take a few of these to school with you (binder, bags, soap, bra, towel). And make sure you do this the moment you get home so your parents aren’t suspicious of why you are taking your school bag into your bathroom.
(I personally forgot this step and almost had to explain what I was doing).
Step 2: Washing time
Ok, take off your binder, and put on a bra (if you want to that is)
Pour warm water into your sink.
And soak your binder in it.
Pull it out and put some soap on it (I use A LOT)
And then rub it in and put the binder back into your sink.
Drain your sink and fill with cold water. Put binder in again and soak it.
Drain the sink and run your binder under cold water to get off the extra soap.
Get any extra water out by squeezing it and put it in the plastic bag/s.
Put it in your school bag (along with anything else) and sneak into your room.
Step 3: Drying it.
Pull out your binder and hang it up in your closet with a hanger.
I like to put a towel underneath to catch all the drips. And to prevent my carpet from being ruined.
Your binder will (hopefully) dry overnight.
I know a lot of people are in different conditions when it comes to family, resources etc. so this might not work for everyone. This is simply what works for me. If you need help/advice, you can always ask me.
And since this has gotten so many notes (thank you for that), I’ve posted a part 2

sit/stand up straight
relax your shoulders
chest out
take a deep breath in all the way down to your belly
exhale slowly
and another deep breath

Petition for people to make binders with superhero logos so when you take off your shirt, it's like you're getting ready to fight crime.
This would be amazing
