Hello wonderful humans! I have a quick question about binders. I've found one on Amazon that is pretty cheap & affordable, it's a BaronHong chest binder. The reviews say that it is good and works well but I just wanted to ask here to be sure. Are they good to use and safe? Or should I look somewhere else?
Kii says:
The binder brands we recommend are here. If you’re restricted to shopping on Amazon, try Underworks!

I was in the middle of answering an ask about compression shorts on Amazon, but Tumblr glitched and won’t let me post it, so here you go:
On gc2b it has an Amazon pay thing dose that mean you can use an amazon gift card to buy a binder from their website
Kii says:
Amazon’s website says:
“Any of the payment methods available in your Amazon account can be used with Amazon Pay. Note that Amazon.com gift cards entered into your Amazon account cannot be used when making purchases with Amazon Pay on third-party websites.”
Hi! Do you have any tips for hip dysphoria? And do know any good binders on amazon? Thanks for running this account it’s been a big help 🐝🌻☀️

Our Transmasculine resources page has info on that:
hi! i got some amazon gift cards for christmas and ive been really hoping to be able to get a packer recently, so i was wondering if you guys happen to know of good packers available on amazon at all?
Lee says:
You can usually get some cheap packers on Amazon like Mr. Limpy or Packer Gear, but the more durable (and expensive) silicone ones aren’t usually available there.
The Packing and standing to pee post has a List of packers and STP devices (which I updated this week!) and that lists all the packers that I know of, so you can go through that list to see if any of them are on Amazon.

truelyqueer said: I got a mr.limpy packer a few years ago from Amazon for like 12$! I still have it and it’s in great condition! I reccomend it
golden-dragon-king said: Mr Limpy is a great beginners packer. Depending on your size you might want the extra small or small. I got my boyfriend the small because that’s what he wanted. However it would not have worked for him if he wasn’t already overweight. If your rather skinny you may want to go smaller to start with. I also recommend wearing briefs that hug the legs or a homemade harness. I prefer briefs, spare parts harnesses, and boxer briefs. I don’t recommend using boxer briefs until your confident with wearing a packer. When I do that I wear tight jeans or have leggings on cause it’s cold. I got my boyfriend a Joey pouch. It pins in his boxers and he loves it with his packer and doesn’t go out of the house without it. I can give something more comprehensive if you want to PM me.
Do you know of any gaffs that are good on Amazon?

I'm not currently out and I was wondering what are good panties to buy via an Amazon gift card? As well as how to measure myself? (If it helps we have some carpenter tools at home which I believe has a few measuring instruments used for clothes)
Lee says:
The How to Take Clothing Measurements Without Measuring Tape link might help with measuring yourself, but none of our transfeminine mods were able to recommend any panties.
I’ve heard that you should pick panties that are made of tightly woven Spandex or some kind of microfiber blend, and shaper briefs and boyshorts can be good choices.
Followers, does anyone have suggestions for anon?
Hey, binders on amazon are way cheaper than gc2b's binders, and are there any that would be safe? I know amazon isn't the best place to get them, but they're much more affordable, so if there are any that are safe I'd like to know
Lee says:
Underworks binders sold on Amazon are safe!
What brand of packing underwear is best for smaller guys and can be bought on amazon?
Kii says:
It seems like Rodeoh sells on Amazon! I can’t find many other brands that do.
hey, so i think i've been using an unsafe binder - it cost me £20, was some unfamiliar amazon brand, and had clasps. i never wore it too long/while exercising/etc so i thought everything was fine, but recently i've been noticing some shortness of breath. like it's not HARD to breathe but sometimes it just feels slightly different? problem is, i literally cant leave the house without binding, my dysphoria is just too bad. should i see a doctor?
Kii says:
The unsafe binder is likely what is causing you problems and getting a quality binder would likely fix that. You should not wear binders that are not from reputable brands as they can cause rib and lung issues, and could deform your chest in a way that would prevent you from safely binding or getting top surgery.
If not wearing the unsafe binder doesn’t fix your breathing issues, you should see a doctor.
Umm, stupid question: I just ordered some clothes off amazon that my parents wouldn't approve off. Do amazon labels say what's in the package?
Kii says:
If the clothes are being shipped internationally, they’ll likely have some type of external label, but usually they’re pretty vague (”clothes”, “shirt” etc) and are just there for customs purposes. Packages shipped within the US are not required to have any external declaration of what is inside, but I’m not sure about other countries.
***URGERT*** I recently came out to my mom and she is super accepting which is great so she bought be binders but the GC2B website wouldn't work so she insisted on ordering a binder that she says in sold by GC2B through amazon gc2b doesn't state that they sell through amazon, so I've been freaking out. Yes I need a binder very much but if this is a scam and its not really GC2B I could get seriously injured. what I'm trying to say is. Do you know if GC2B sells through amazon. tag as star asks plz
Kii says:
As far as I’m aware, GC2B does not sell through Amazon, but Underworks does.
The only place I can safely order binders from is Amazon. There are a ton of random brands and I've heard that some sell unsafe binders. Any recommendations? I know Underworks sells on Amazon but I'm looking for options. Thanks :-)
Kii says:
Underworks is the only reputable binder company that sells on Amazon, I’m pretty sure.
Could you please provide me with a link as to where the underworks 988 is sold on Amazon? I've been looking but none look like the one I see on the actual underworks website! It has to be on Amazon because I can't buy it otherwise :(
Kii says:
As far as I know, Amazon does not carry the 988. Underworks only has some of their merchandise on Amazon, not all of it. Here is the official Underworks Amazon page, which has some other styles of binders.
GC2B binders are out of my price range. Are there any other brands that are cheaper but still safe to use?
Ari says:
There are some on Amazon that are cheaper and reasonably safe. Keep in mind, however, that you get what you pay for and they generally won’t be as durable and comfortable.
