![]() I happened to have bought my partner a small binder to try a few months ago, but I’ve taken it back to use as my “period binder”. So, for my fellow menstruators who bind on their periods, I have written a few tips based on my own experience for how to lessen the pain of binding while on your period! Buy a “Period Binder”įor those who have the financial means to afford an extra binder, I would recommend buying a binder that is one size up from what you’re used to. ![]() However, sometimes the pain of seeing my chest stick out and hearing strangers use “ma’am” and “she” feels worse than the pain of binding swollen boobs, so I’ve had to find ways to limit the soreness any way I can if I still want to bind. ![]() Without a binder, my 34C chest is more prominent than at any other time of the month and I am misgendered more frequently than I would be otherwise.
