So I recently got top surgery, and now I have hanging around a couple of unneeded garments that I specifically got as low-key, comfortable, safe binding alternatives. They are both very lightly used, because binding never actually worked that well with my body, which is part of why I got top surgery!
These are also not cheap things, and I'd really like to trans it forward by giving them away to people they would help, especially people who normally couldn't or wouldn't feel able to justify purchasing them on their own. They've been laundered and all of course, no one in our household smokes, but we do have a dog.
The first one: a Prairie Wear HuggerPRIMA, in size 2XL. This is actually marketed as a medium-to-high compression bra designed with medical needs in mind, but if you don't need or want or can't use a full binder, it also serves a very comfy and safe next step down. Like, I got it because a friend's doctor recommended it. It's extremely adjustable at the shoulders and in terms of compression amount, with the insert.

The second one: a TomboyX Compression Top in Chai, size 4X. The compression on this is pretty light, actually, so I'd suggest going for this one if it would be small for you (their measurement recs for 4X are 52-54" bust, 47-49.5" under bust, 46-48" waist), or if you are trying to fight an especially large Situation, or both.

If you want one of these:
- you are trans enough
- you have as much of a right to one as someone else
- send me an ask.
I'm gonna do this first-come first-served because I figure this is probably going to be a pretty niche audience! So go for it if you want. I'll repost with updates if one or the other gets claimed.
Please feel free to boost this!
