FTM Binder

Chest binder involves compressing the upper body to achieve a flatter chest appearance. This can be done using a special garment, known as a chest binder, which can be worn underneath clothing or on its own. People may choose to bind their chest for various reasons, including as part of their gender transition or to alleviate gender dysphoria.

However, chest binder is not limited to individuals within the trans community; people of all gender identities may find binders more comfortable or preferable for various reasons, such as a cisgender woman who prefers the support and comfort of a binder over a sports bra, or a non-binary person who finds a flatter pectoral area more aligning with their gender identity.
