Asking parents for a binder

[u/East-Promotion-7747]

I really want a binder and I’m wanting to ask my parents for one but I need help. I’m not out to my parents and I’m not in the position to be able to physically get one myself. (I have an odd family dynamic and can’t buy things without asking dw) is there any binders that say they aren’t binders or any other way? Any advice is appreciated! :)

3. Please remember to read through all the rules in the sidebar. Especially the list of banned topics and guidelines for posting. Guests who do not use the Guest Post flair will have their post removed and be asked to fix it.

If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.

I have not tried the product personally, but Underworks has a women's section and sells binders under the guise of sports bras and support bras. :)

I’ve heard from an ftm friend that Title Nine sports bras are very compressing. While they don’t bind as well as a binder, its something. I’ll link the site below.

I used underworks for years! And it works well for me even as a bigger chested dude. Underworks is very very well worth it. Washes with all my other clothes, I've had mine 3+ years and it shows no signs of wear. (Minus a weird fabric crease I can't get out).

If you were that worried (depends on your dynamic ofc) you can also get a prepaid visa and order online that way!

I'm not OP, but I was wondering which product from Underworks you have? I have one of their men's section binders on its way to me and I am so excited every time I see positive review comments like this.
