Breast binding is the act of flattening breasts using constrictive materials like cloth strips, elastic bandages, purpose-built undergarments made of spandex, or layered shirts. It is commonly practiced by trans men to reduce breast size but is also done by non-binary or androgynous individuals. Purpose-built chest binders made of spandex exist for breast binding and are generally safer than alternatives but can be more expensive and less accessible.

4. Chest Binder/Breast Binder
• Breast binding is the act of flattening breasts by the use of
constrictive materials
• The term also refers to the material used in this act. Common binding
materials include cloth strips, elastic or non-elastic bandages,
purpose-built undergarments (often using spandex or other synthetic
fibre) and shirts layered from tight to loose. The act of breast binding
is common for trans men, but is also done by androgynous and non-
binary people, as well as crossdressers, cosplayers, and performers
• In a general sense, women may also use binders as alternatives to
bras or as a practice of propriety

5. Chest Binder/Breast Binder
• Purpose-built undergarments known as binders or binding bras exist
(often using spandex or other synthetic fibre), and are commonly
used for breast binding
• These can be more expensive than other options and are not widely
stocked, but are generally considered less dangerous than
alternatives
