Universal Body Labs TransGenX Tape - Best Trans FTM Binder for Chest Binding (2 Pack)

The adhesive is hard to remove and doesn’t come fully off my skin sometimes (even with using baby oil as recommended). It takes time how to figure out how to use it. What works best for me is laying on my back and taping to the sides to get as flat as possible. It takes a lot of tape for it to stick and sweat just makes it come off (not great for southern summer heat). When it works it’s great but takes time to figure out what is comfortable and what isnt

This is an off brand of Transtape. It works as advertised but for the differential in price I have simply taken to buying the original brand off their website as it is not on on Amazon, even if it means no free prime shipping. This tape is not nearly as easy to get to adhere as the original. You must apply carefully and adhere with friction, during which it is easy to accidentally catch the edges on your hands or clothes and mess it up, leaving it less sticky. It is thinner, requiring more tape in total, costing about the same either way. This tape is also not self-adherent on the outer side, original transtape sticks to its own fabric for the most part. Original transtape is also less irritating to my skin even when fully stretched, making for more pleasant long term wear, extending the life of each roll. Original tape takes about 3 5-grid-square segments for desired flatness, this tape takes 4-5. This tape is also lacking the guards and instructional insert of the original. I would not recommend transgenxtape for packing or tucking personally, only binding, due to the irritating nature of the adhesive. You need to make your own nipple guards or you will damage your skin. If you are set on buying this brand with these factors in mind, definitely buy the wider roll. Also, I would recommend removing this with something like coconut or jojoba oil instead of baby oil. I use the same oil blend for my curly hair to remove the tape. These are the things I wish I knew before ordering for the first time. Stay safe, know your limits and good luck.

So, I'm a trans youth with awful top dysphoria. Its one of the things that causes me the most dysphoria and I've always wanted a way to bind my chest without it restricting my airflow or causing me even more back issues than I already have.I thought this would help, and as soon as I got any money I practically ran to buy this. "It would work", i thought.As soon as I got the package, I went to try it on, following all the tutorials I found online and begging it would work. I thought the tape was rather thin, but I hoped it would work fine.My first issue came up, *I could tell this was not made for people with bigger chest sizes.*I would have appreciated a warning before I wasted my money on something that wouldn't even work for me. Its *far* too small and I don't even know how someone with a small chest size would use this.My second, and main issue, is that the adhesive is not strong *at all* and comes off so easily. When i did manage to somehow get mutable peices of tape on one side to try and hold back my chest, it came off almost instantly, and didn't attach to my skin at all. Even common packing or duck tape would be stronger than this tape. (NOT encouraging using packing or duck tape to bind, by the way. Its bad for you.)I'm really disappointed and came out of trying to put this on even more dysphoric than ever. Don't buy this if you don't want to waste your money.

My son had been using this tape for about 3 months now, he says it’s great. But in the beginning he experienced rashes and lots of itchiness, I got him an anti-itch and heal cream and that helped his chest get used to the tape. He wears it for 5 days max he says he really likes it better from the binder, for sports and just confort. so if you buy this make sure your committed to the trial and error that comes with it, but he’s very happy with it so I think you can be to!.

For anyone just now learning to tape and not sure what to get, this is really good. Cut it into 10 inch straps and bind that way. You can shower with it, but dry it well! And when you're ready to take it off, please only do it in the shower and wash well. It'll hurt and dry your skin otherwise. Moisturize often so you don't get severe irritation. I've got sensitive skin and it works with this routine. Very good price and you get a lot! This is enough to last about 2 weeks changing it every 3 days!

I personally would not recommend this brand for reasons of it not being tall enough, peeling, and being too hard to remove. They say it's stretchy and flexible but I'm not so sure. I could hardly bend over without the edges peeling. Even when using removal oil in the shower it tore my skin off and left some nasty scars. Overall, I would say it's not worth it, even for the cheap price, it would be better to just buy brand name trans tape.

I used this for a night out at a party and cannot recommend enough. My chest is small and I was jumping/dancing/headbanging, and the adhesive remained firm, despite friction from shirt/movement and sweating. Stayed on for hours and come time to remove, was still sticking

I have super sensitive skin on my chest. Band-Aids will pull chunks of skin off. This doesn't do that. That said, it didn't work for me simply because my chest is too large. That's not their fault though. I would recommend this for guys with an A or B cup, maybe a C, but not much larger than that since chests larger than that can get heavy and the tape isn't able to hold them up. I would still recommend this to guys with super sensitive skin.
