Any trans men have any suggestions for rib/chest pain from binding? I feel like I can’t get a full breath in with it on or off.

Trans tape!! Bonus points you can sleep in it and exercise with no breathing pain. Takes some time to find a tape and technique that works and won't irritate ur skin tho

Take frequent breaks! You shouldn’t wear them for more than like 5 hours at a time I think?

Could do tape + a binder that isn’t as tight, just be careful you aren’t causing permanent damage
