Notes

I found that my binder didn't make me flat at all and instead just gave me a "Boob shelf" so I started using Duct tape to seperate out my breasts and kind of hide them under my arms. I was trying to be stealth at the time which did not work at all pre-hormones. My breast gave me so much dysphoria I was doing anything to flatten them. Eventually when I took my tape off one time I also took a layer of skin, Then I moved to using the sports tape here as it is made for HUMANS.
