Universal Body LabsTransGenX Tape - Best Trans FTM Binder for Chest Binding While Transitioning

I recommend buying this BUT if you have sensitive skin, I’d suggest wearing a binder OR a different brand. It is waterproof so you can wear it when swimming.For those saying that it hurts to take off or it hurts your nipples; you are MEANT to shower and COVER your nipples before applying as it will hurt to remove and you’ll have trouble applying. Do NOT wear for multiple days. Wearing for 8-10 hours is recommended by the company if you read description!! If you are having pain or trouble removing, use oil (baby oil or specifically oil for removing trans-tape) or WARM water NOT HOT WATER!!Anyways! I love this and the packaging made it easy to hide from family!! <33

I've been binding with a regular chest binder for 3 years and have recently gotten some unbearable chest pains. Naturally I decided I'd need an alternative and I got these for starters. I didn't expect anything lifechanging, but all this did was disappoint.The first day I applied the stuff it peeled right off. I wasn't touching all over the adhesive for it to do that, and I wasn't sweaty or lotioned up or whatever. I've touched stickier stray dogs than this "tape". It didn't even hurt or needed baby oil to have to rip off the rest of the strip that was hanging on with hopes and dreams. I tried again for the next 2 days and used up the whole roll. I ultimately got only one days worth of use, since it magically stuck on only the second day. (it still peeled off by the end of day..) I didn't want to buy the bigger pack since this was just an experiment but maybe this stuff is for teent tiny -A cups. I think I'm a B or C cup. Maybe I just got a roll thats been sitting in a warehouse for long enough for it to lose its stickiness. Or this stuff really sucks that much.If you want to try a tape for the first time, don't be a cheapskate and go get something that could actually hold up longer than five minutes.. not this toilet paper.

It’s easy enough to put on, but could definitely be wider. Sometimes a piece wouldn’t stay on and I’d need to get a new one, but other times I would need to soak it off. After a few hours or wear, the edges would start rolling off and curling. I wouldn’t say I sweat a lot but I do usually use this tape when I’m out and doing stuff so that definitely makes it more likely to come off. I have semi-sensitive skin and this stuff gives me a hella bad rash when I keep it on for over an hour. It HAS caused open wounds and severe itching, but it doesn’t bother me too much in the long run. WEAR NIP COVERS!!! I use small squares of toilet paper and that works.In summary:Works well, some issues with sticking, can cause rash/itching/skin irritation, do NOT rip off (even though that’s what I do) bc it will be way more likely to hurt, good for a cheaper version of on-brand T-Tape, I use boob tape sometimes as an even cheaper alternative

Okay so this product is alright. For comfort, I’d say it’s alright although I would recommend getting baby wipes or something before you put it on and wipe down anything on your chest area before use since it does get itchy. Even with that it CAN get itchy but after a while it shouldn’t be a problem. I would also recommend putting nipple covers/toilet paper over your nips to avoid irritation. But one problem I have is when I take it off it can irritate/rip your skin like shown in the photo. I guess that’s on me though because I didn’t take it off with water or oil which I would recommend.

I'm appalled at all the comments where ppl say they wore this for MULTIPLE DAYS. You should not be doing that!! It is not good for your skin... I don't care what tutorials tell you, if your skin is blistering or god forbid OOZING that should be enough to tell you you shouldnt wear a strong adhesive on a large section of skin for extended periods of time. Why do you think casts aren't adhered to your skin??ANYWAY. I feel like this probably works best for smaller chested ppl like myself. It works just fine for me. I even live in the desert whjere it regularly hits over 100F half the year, and even with all that heat & sweat it still sticks. Very impressive honestly. I also use it in combo with reusable/washable pasties so there's less sticky tape on the most sensitive areas. highly recommend that strategy.But regardless, you MUST remove your tape at the end of the night. There is ZERO reason to sleep in it. I understand its pricey and there may be an urge to extend the life of each use, I feel that urge myself, but its not worth it to damage your skin like that. If cost is that much of a factor you'd do much better to stick to non-disposable methods such as binders or sports bras.Also, just use the band-aid method folks. Rip it off all at once haha.

The product was waterproof. Which was nice for swimming in the summer (if bought) or showering and not wanting to reapply each time.The issue was, taking the tape off. I stood in the shower for 35 minutes trying to pull it off. If I ripped it off it would bleed. But pulling it off slowly, that made my nipples hurt badly and left redness and bumps all along my sides, now it wasn’t itchy when applied but it hurts so bad to take off making my eyes water after 30 minutes (so after an hour in total from taking it off and giving it time) it was still red and hurt to lay on in bed. When the tape was on it would wrinkle and hurt in some sports, if it touched your skin and you took it off to see if that was the spot it wouldn’t stick. You had to cut a new piece.I had huge hopes about this product, I heard any people recommend this one, if you have skin that doesn’t get aggravated and you have some nipple covers go for it. But I was upset about wearing this, I will be sticking to my binders.This product was breathe able, and ok to wear threw the day it held them down pretty well other all the issues I had taking it off and sleeping, they didn’t bounce when walking if I had enough tape on. It does leave sticky residue on after taking it off, I tried soap as well.
