Aw fuck yeah, ty for posting a buncha details about the process and experience using trans tape. Sounds like a really good binder alternative? Happy to hear you really like the end results
I think it's good for me and my circumstances, I'm lucky that the adhesive doesn't irritate my skin at all. I read a bunch of reviews from transmascs who weren't really satisfied, seemed to be a case of the tape not creating as flat a result as a binder, which I was okay with. The application process is pretty tricky though, hoping that I improve on that in the future (the people in the tutorial videos put it on so smoothly...)
Makes sense, couldn't imagine tape would give as good compression. Also the adhesive sounds kinda hellish, cool that it works for you though! Should get better with practice prolly
I think it's basically some form of kinesiology tape so it is made to be applied on skin, but yeah, doesn't work for everyone. I'm lucky, my skin doesn't get irritated easily, I can put all sorts of tapes on it (even the ones that are definitely not made to be skin-safe) and I've never gotten any sort of reaction to it.
Binding is just one of those things that is never going to be 100% perfect, even binders don't create completely flat results, so I take what wins I can get. There's really no alternative to top surgery with this kind of stuff.
