  • Question
    My breasts are heavy so I can't survive without wearing a bra for long. I have back problem as well. Can you give me some tips?
    Community Answer
    Have you talked to a doctor about this? Weight loss may help with your breast weight and back problems, but a physician should examine you and recommend a course of action.
  • Question
    One of my breasts is smaller than the other. What can I do to fix the problem?
    Community Answer
    There's not really anything you can do. It's very normal, and if you're still going through puberty, it's possible they will even out eventually. Many women have breasts that are different sizes, so you're not alone!
  • Question
    As a boy, how do I reduce my breast size?
    Community Answer
    You can still do everything in this article, nothing is restricting you. Yes, even the bras and chest binders, as clothing does not define gender.
  • Question
    How do I ask my mom to let me buy a chest binder? And where can I buy one?
    Community Answer
    If you're comfortable telling your mom, explain the situation to her and tell her why you think getting one would be a good idea for you. You can buy them on sites geared towards trans men with SAFE binders, as ones on Amazon most likely are unsafe and do not compress as they pull back instead. Some sites I highly recommend are Underworks and GC2B. They are safe, effective, and for the most part affordable.

    How do I lose weight to reduce my breast size?

    My bust size is different and noticeable, what can I do?

  • Question
    I’m trans and my parents don’t believe me, so they won’t let me get a binder. What do I do?
    Community Answer
    If you have a job or another source of money, you might be able to buy it yourself. Otherwise, one solution would be to wear one to two sports bras to achieve a similar effect to a binder. You can also do things like wear an open shirt layered over a t-shirt, but this will only hide them. Otherwise, keep trying to educate your parents on the subject and with time they might see that you're being serious.
