Cw: I hurt myself on accident being stupid. Not intentional/SH in any way Also, not a vent or a rant or whatever - So I wear trans tape to bind because otherwise when I exercise I feel like my ribs are imploding and also it’s just more convenient for me if I can just slap it on and not worry about it for a week or two. When you take it off, you’re usually supposed to rub oil into the tape to make the adhesive less attracted to your skin. Well, today when I took off my trans tape, I was in the shower. It had been two weeks since I’d put it on and it’s a weekend so my skin will have time to breathe between uses. And I’ve done it before with little to no problems so I figured it’d be fine. I don’t know what went wrong this time, but that shit HURT. My chest lowkey still stings. Anyways, I’m fine, my skin isn’t broken just kind of irritated, I just wanted to advise other trans folks on here who bind that if you do/ever intend to use tape to bind, please remove it with care and the way it’s supposed to be done.
