Uh, so as the title says, I want to use cotton fabric rolls as a way to compress down my breasts as a way to hide their growths from my parents (whom i have to visit soon). I tried buying binders made for transmascs, however, I didn’t find an option that fit my ribcage (which I am finding out is actually really large). Then, with the wrap, I can wear 2 layers of shirt (I’ll claim it’s a fashion thing) on top of that. I’m not quite sure how well it will work.
Alternatively, I also now have 4 sports bras with removal pads. The problem with the sports bras is that while I can easily explain bringing along rolls of Bandages, bringing along bras would wierd them out a lot and raise questions. Idk how to hide any bras I bring along, since my mom always goes through my stuff.
I’m also really not sure how I am supposed to hide my hormone supplies. What I’ve come up with so far is to pre-prepare supplies, put them in a padded metal box. Then once I get to my parents, I bury them in the ground somewhere in whatever woods they have nearby. I can then go there whenever I want, do the hormones in secret. The only problem I can think of is how to handle transporting the injections. Should I bring along the vial, or should I pre-prepare shots?
The more I type shit out, the more I’m thinking to myself what kind of spy bullshit am I even trying to do. Instead of coming out the closet, I’m doing this nonsense.
i’m unsure what kind of cloth bandages you’re talking about but if your talking about ace bandages, those are very dangerous to use as a chest binder and i would really recommend against doing so especially since it sounds like you’d be using it for extended periods of time. a much safer option that you may have better luck with is trans tape or something similar if you still have time to order some before your visit?
usually cis people really don’t notice and won’t say anything even if you don’t bind though. in my experience, after i got top surgery i never got one comment from anyone that i wasn’t out to in my family. i think it’s cause it would be awkward on their part to say something or they just really don’t notice those things lol.
and for hiding your hrt supplies, maybe some kind of small lockbox with a key? then if they find it they wouldn’t be able to open it and you can keep the key on your person so it’s safe.
or if you’re using a suitcase to travel for the visit you could maybe keep a small padlock / luggage lock on that too. one of the pin code ones could also be useful if you think a key could get misplaced.
