    Here is a youtube vidoe that actually goes into diagrams to show how binding can cause medical problems.

    This is one the only ones I found. i don't have the time to do a lot of reseach since I'm taking 18 college credits, working and 400 practicum hors this semester, so if anyone else finds articles related feel free to post them. A friend of mine wanted to know the dangers, so I made this post because I believe knowing the dangers associated with binding is important.

     

    feel free to add comments, questions, thoughts, feelings and anything else related to this topic.

  • Thanks Jasper

     

    Now I know the risks, I can plan to avoid any dangers.

    I found this video which suits me, and the diagram, if it is accurate, is encouraging.

    I only have a six hour day, and I am shopping for a binder.

     

    Thanks for your help

  • I'm really new to all this and was thinking about binding, but with all the risks there are I'm not too sure now. I'm a bit of a hypochondriac to be honest lol. Are there any other options besides binding and top surgery?
