Listen To Your Body!Updated 2 years ago

Make sure that you’re paying attention to what your body is telling you. If you experience any discomfort or pain while binding please stop binding and reach out to our team! We are happy to help you find a better fit to ensure you are binding safely and comfortably.

  • Here are some things to watch out for when binding:
  • Pain after less than 8-12 hours of wear
  • Any kind of bruising, redness, or swelling, especially under your arms
  • Trouble breathing or chest tightness (not due to another factor such as anxiety)
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness (A sign that you are not breathing deeply enough)
  • Tingling in arms or fingers (A sign of cut-off circulation)
  • Soreness that lasts more than a couple of binder-free days
  • Dehydration if your binder makes you sweat.

Contact your doctor if you are concerned you have injured yourself.


The most important thing to remember is to listen to your body. If something is doesn’t feel right please reach out to us via email: [email protected]
