How to Make a Chest Binder :D (safe binding for FTM/ transmasc/nonbinary) 

Saving this for totally cis reasons

making this using a hogwarts shirt is such a power move

Do I need a binder? No. Do I want a binder? Not really. Will I support a smaller channel who makes really good sewing tutorials? YES!! In all seriousness this was a really clear tutorial, and it’s really beginner friendly. The drawn out diagrams are greatly appreciated!

using a TERF's merch for gender affirming stuff is such a vibe lol

Its always the cool little channels that have good subtitles

I don't need a binder but I'm commenting to boost the algorithm!! Happy pride to all my trans brothers 💕

"thank you big brother quin" we all say in unison

I (cis female) have a dance performance tomorrow where we have to wear these skimpy Charleston dresses under which I can’t wear my regular “heavy duty” sports bra because it’s really visible. I’m big-breasted, so it’s really not an option to wear a regular bra or nothing. The dance includes so much jumping that I need something! This video saved me, I’m halfway through it and have almost finished my binder. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Im 6 months post top surgery, but this vid is very helpful, thanks for posting. My younger closeted self would have loved it!!

I WANT TO DO THIS- *says the 12 year old transmasc who’s in the closet and can’t because my grandma might ask but I could figure it out* YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH THIS MADE ME HAPPY TODAYYYY😭😭

My trans siblings / brothers! Hello! As someone who is very skinny and has a naturally flat chest I came to check in on you guys C:. Love yall and you guys don’t need to wear a binder constantly to “pass” please do not hurt yourselves. -love your brother

Why did i click on the screen to agree to the terms and service 😭 Also, great video, man! You're a huge inspiration, thanks for helping me out!

best part about this is that you can come up with some really creative and colorful binder designs based on the shirts you use for making them

thank you so much. for a long time i've been wanting a binder but i was too scared to ask my mother for one(she's a bit homophobic and transphobic). this video really helped me to make my own. thank you smm

Saving this because I'm TOTALLY cis 😇

If you don’t have the materials or don’t know how to sew or just can’t do this for any reasons, here’s what I did: -Get 2 bras -get out the padding if they have any (just cut a small slit and fish them out lol) -put them both on (be safe and follow the rules of safe binding) -IT WORKED SO WELL FOR ME -it may put a bit of pressure on your chest so be careful

turning a harry potter shirt into a binder is the ultimate dis, i luv it! also great tut X3 (im using this 4 cosplay and 4 when i feel extra masc)

Dude this is so helpful- 😭 as a trans/non-binary teen with a large chest, this rlly helps ;w; great tutorial!!!

I’m trigender so sometimes my gender EXPRESSION changes. This will help me a lot when I want to bind. Tysm! 💕💙💚💙💕

I already run a small (local) business where i create sewn plushies and fix people clothing, and i will be investing some skill into making binders with the help of this video! I hope i can be a help for other young trans boys that cant get their own.

getting a binder always felt like such an investment but this!!! feels far more managable!! and the alterations section is terribly handy so I don't end up just giving up if i get smth wrong!! kudos to you and happy pride!!

I keep struggling with the sewing part (specifically the tension) but I’ve ALMOST got it figured out. But overall this is insanely easy to follow!! Thank you Quinn, and good luck to anyone who wants to try this out!

My chest may be small but I still feel big dysphoria TwT Great turorial i'm definitely gonna try making this in couple of weeks

Turning a harry potter shirt into a binder is legendary

I was asking myself why was I watching this if I don't need a binder, then I read the comments and realised: I want to support you!! It's always nice to tell the algorithm that this is great content that must be recommended! Keep going 💕

This man is now officially my favorite person because im poor and closeted in a transphobic / homophobic house 👍

i love how loving and supportive this comment section is

Great binder tutorial thank you for the new skill and I whole heartedly accept your terms and conditions

I'm gender fluid, and I've been wanting a binder for a while!

as a nonbinary person i needed this tysm

I got my first binder last week. The difference in my confidence is extremely noticeable. Videos like this make my confidence at a all time high. Thank you for making this. I may have never watched your videos till now, but i am appointing myself as the Little brother Jay 😁🥰👍🏻

A. I wanna figure binder B. Your humor is just my humor tbh

sent this to my transmasc friend. he confirms.

I'm glad this showed up on my recommendations because I have been seriously considering getting a chest binder for myself :)

Thank you for this, I am going through a gender-identity crisis and I really appreciate this. Will definitely be using this!!

AWGAGAGHHHHH THANK YOU ME AND MY FRIEND HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HELP US THANK YOU :D

6:45 "Anyway....g'bye !!" love that part sm and idk why-

First video I've seen by you and I already feel safe with your presence, I'm definitely going to try using this in the future when I have a proper stretchy shirt, thank you so much !! :D

This is actually very helpful as a gender-fluid/queer person and I can’t buy one so this is helps thanks. Also the camera feeling like an eye is so relatable like why does it feel like an eye.

Unrelated to the video I’m so glad this is a newer video bc every other video I find on trans related topics are from like 6 years ago?! 😭😭

as someone who has a large chest for my age because i’m very young, i feel very uncomfortable around people my age because their chest is flatter :/ it also feels embarrassing, i always find a way to cover them around family bc i always get treated like a baby. i’m gonna try this, and of course, stick to the ground rules! (i may not bcuz of strict mom)

nice tut! i love utilising home materials to make gender affirming binders! Yippee! I love how quick and snappy the video is, while still keeping that raw humour in there :)) you're defo gonna go places dude! gah i wouldve needed this when i was younger lol, but not anymore haha

This is great! Im not in need of a binder (i already own one) but the algo needs a boost cause i would’ve needed this

Was rlly happy when I saw this, thanks :D *ps: thanks to all the people who are commenting and liking to boost this video!*

I can’t describe how much I love this video. Thank you so much for the tutorial!! I definitely won’t be able to make this but at least I’ll have it in my back pocket when I get the materials to, thank youuu so muchhh!!! :333

Oh my gosh I didn't know those were that easy to make at home! I'm not very good at sewing but I definitely want to try that. Thank you kindly for that tutorial! The ground rules at the beginning was also great, I agree to those rules thank ya!

I just made this its amazing!! im not out to my parents yet so i couldnt order one but now i probobly dont even have to orderr❤❤

ummmmm thank you so much for this! i just got done making my second binder! (in one day) and oh my gosh.... the results are amazing! earned a sub from this :)

when i got my first binder, i would wear it all the time (i was in school). Even during gym, it's really not a good idea to wear binders if it hurts i know from experience 😖 but this tutorial is really amazing! i will definitely have to try it out someday, keep doing what your doing! Your amazing!!

Commenting to boost 🫶🫶🫶 sports bras in general can substitute for binding on days that you cant / shouldn't bind as you can feel more supported + the pressure from the sports bra.

Thank you for the tutorial!!!! This is really helpful, happy late pride, Quin!!!

I really wish this tutorial was on RU-vid when i was a teenager and before I started transitioning. I remember looking and looking for videos years ago and i couldn’t find one that was safe and going to have my chest as flat as possible at the time. Very informative and very helpful to those guys who cant afford to buy a binder. You are right buddy bind safely nobody wants anyone getting hurt. Great video much respect 🫡

i tapped on the screen to agree to the terms and conditions, that's how serious i am about this! thank you for this tutorial. i can't afford buying a binder so this helps a TON!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Dude I follow you on TikTok for your ninjago stuff, and now you're the first vid I see on how to make a chest binder. This is both a little scary but a big "I win" moment. Thank's for the tips, will be using this.

Omg i love your humor! ty for the help

Succinct, entertaining, and informational all in one and to make things better it's someone with a chest like mine so I actually get an idea of how it'll work for me!! I had honestly given up on binding because I thought my chest was just too big but this gives me hope that maybe it _can_ work for me and I don't have to live in discomfort until I get top surgery! Thank you!!!

Yooo that's so cool! Wish I had a guide like this back when I was still scared of ordering binders

goated tutorial! thanks for the binder, king!

needed this so bad and it just came on my page im so glad😭😭

Ur so underrated ilysm 😭💗

Idk if i will use this but the algorithim needs this on it!

lifesaver i swear thank you so much

Merci beaucoup pour ce tuto, je ne peux pas m'acheter de binder pour le moment, alors ce tuto tombe à point, vraiment merci ❤

I'm not transgender but I love how supportive the community is of each other. I'm very glad that you people are figuring yourself out, remember that you are loved💙💙

Thank youuu, this was the piece of motivation i needed to make a binder, thank you!!

I sent this to my trans masc best friend. They’ve been afraid of taking trans meds, (I forgor what it’s called-) because of his illnesses , and he used this! Ty :3

thank you so much i live in a house where ive tried to come out but my dad doesnt understand it yet so i cant get a binder but now i know i can make one im so happy! love and support from your trans brother!!

Now this is the type of tutorial I needed 2-3ish years ago, 427/10 tutorial

I'm not trans or anything, i think i would just feel more comfortable in a binder so this is really helpful! Really easy to follow!

The binder actually worked really well. It helps so much that you made this because my mom refuses to buy me one because she thinks it will hurt me😭 (I’m safe about it thought)

This is awesome!! I’m definitely going to use this and this will be a lot of help :D TY!!

QUIN !! THIS IS AMAZING THANK YOU !! Very straightforward i will eat this video ❤❤

Awww this is so heartwarming. My dad would kick me out after giving me a heart attack if he new I was transgender, i was transgender snice I was 12 now I'm 16. I stopped even being in the closet transgender when I saw a toxic cisgender gay guy who said transgender men couldn't ever be a real man. That made me really upset and it still does.... That's why I'm just now trying to help my dysphoria again. I just wanted a cisgender male to say "oh you're a pretty boy" "that's my boy" but no I got laughed at. I already am a long haired tran man. It hurts so much. I just wanted reassurance. I still do. My ONLY friend who I told I was transgender doesn't even remember my birth name. And other people I meet block me because I don't look like a stereotypical cute transboy. I just honestly have no hope :]

I have hope now. Thank you, I'm going to start working on this asap

I was looking for a video like this! Thank you, thank you!! As I came out as trans to my friends a few weeks ago, I really find this useful! Thank you a lot again!

This was very nush needed thank youuu!

i'm using these for my masc days, seems awesome

THANK YOU!!!! It works so well!!!

im straight and cis and also religious but this looked interesting as someone who likes sewing. also you guys are pretty chill. keep being awesome yall :)

This is extremely helpful! Thank you sm!

this is literally the most helpful thing ever omg, i don’t think i can make one currently without my family getting suspicious BUT SOMEDAY I WILL GET MY FULL ENBY NO GENDER DYSPHORIA FROM BEING AFAB EXPERIENCE, just you wait world >:D anyways new subscriber

thank you so much for this 😭💗 as a genderqueer person who recently got my first proper sewing machine-i've been wanting to make my own binder for a while now since they're pretty expensive and i'm technically not out to my parents. I have literally no chest anyway but the small amount i do have still makes me incredibly dysphoric somedays and i know-at least for me-it would be really affirming to have a binder of sorts on those days! this also gives me an excuse to use cute non stretchy fabrics so thank you for furthering my cute-ifying things hyper fixation (also you uncannily look like Tom Holland for some reason?? 😭 in a good way dw 🙏)

this is literally a lifesaver oml, i'm a high C cup (which i think is an XL binder) n i was going 2 get a friend's address so i could safely get one but i have no money + my non-supportive parents would see it TwT

i’m not trans but i just feel uncomfortable with my chesticles so this is really helpful, thanks for this tutorial! :D

This helped alot for making my own work out tops

i'm not trans but i wear my binder a lot, and watching this video has made me realise that i have been wearing my binder way too much. i wear it from morning to late afternoon every single day, so thank you for the tutorial it really helped and thank you for making me realise how i'm using my binder wrong. ❤

Thank you!!! I bought a professional binder before but it's way big on me and so doesn' t really work. Will be trying this!

Thank you! As someone who doesn't have much money for a binder, and is very Agender, this makes me super happy to find. :)

*Deep inhale* I love you/Platonically I needed thisss TvT

This guy is just delightful 😊

AWW THIS AMAZINGG OMGG :DD

This is awesome, ive always had a bigger chest even as a pre teen and i used to make my own "binders" using 4 or 5 sports beas that were wayyy too small. I ended up getting a lot of trouble breathing and passing out a couple times

I myself don’t wear/need a binder, but I think that this will defo help those who do! ❤

HEHE I LOVED THIS!! as another transmasc, this is like, very helpful! :D I do already have two binders though, I received them both from my sister because she works at this pride thing :3 (Positive Images) they give like free binders and clothes for anyone who needs them❤ but anyways, I totally would have tried this if I didn't have any binders. this is amazing.

Awesome tutorial Quin!

i just followed this tutorial and. i am so shit at sewing so i will definitely have to like redo a bunch of it but THIS IS SO AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCHHH ASKAND ive followed so many like how to make binder stuffs and this was the first one to actually work eeeeeee

thanks, big bro quin! you really helped me.

Thank you this was very helpful! I’m not trans, but I do cosplay, and I didn’t really want to purchase a binder, (I’ve got other things I need to spend my money on) but I really wanted a flatter chest for my male characters, (I am very not flat, and I never like how it looks when I’m trying to ache a certain look) so this was very helpful!

AH! THANK YOU SOO MUCH! I've been trying to help my friend make one, but he doesn't have access to the internet. And after some struggle, I eventually went to RU-vid. Neither of us can buy him one because he's still in the closet and we can't buy one without both of our parents knowing. This helps because we don't have much materials to work with compared to all of the stuff others use. Once again, thanks a bunch!! We made it, and he loves it!! Happy late pride ^^

Thank you so much, this is so helpful!!
