Thank you for helping my son find his true self.
The world needs more supportive parents/guardians like you!
Could you be my mother, mine thinks its a fucking crime
You’re so supportive it’s amazing! Any trans kid would be lucky to have you as a parent
God damn like seriously can you adopt me like the world needs more supportive parents like you
Thank you for being an amazing mother. You are a gift to this world, Mrs. Phillips. 💜🤗
I just got my first T-shot this past thursday and so my mother has been binge watching your videos! She's so proud of all the references she makes to you, LOL
aw i love this. how is t journey ?
4 yrs later, im so happy for you. i hope one day i can be like this with an older family member/friend.
Hey what's up now?
Me: *lives in hot and humid place*
Also me: *wears hoodies anyways*
xD SAME i live in texas so yeah its hot and stuff but ive gotten used to being hot
Same I like in louisiana, and istg it's so fucking hot here like 100% of the time
Same 😂
Same lol
@@yeehaw1932 same in Texas 😂
your voice is so soothing
Me: hey Dad can I get this? *Shows pic of binder*
Dad: you wanna pay 30 dollars for a tank top?
Me: y-yeah...
Dad: k.
Feral Snufkin that’s what I did but with my mom
How do I do I do this my mom will look at the thing I asked for
@@theangelofdarkness2903 domt know if you will see this or not, but i ordered one from my (ex) friend, whos mom i knew was accepting. i gave my freind the 40 dollars for a binder, to give to her mom to buy it and send it to her house, and she gave it to me when it came in.
@@zer0ghostz I saw it
Bro my mom said the same thing
*looking for binding tips*
*gets notification for this video*
Bless *^*
Mine is a rap around one but with a cliping type thing like how the frik do I put it on!
@@calebkelly7813 same! How'd you do it?
also side note - you wanna wear darker clothes if you don't want shape coming out and light clothes to do the opposite
thank you. I will sweat to treat my dysphoria seriously I don't like being called "she" all the time
This does work. I am genderfluid (I don't have a binder) and when I feel more masc i wear darker shirts and it helps me look flatter. I have a question: Are you ever too young to bind? I am 11 (gonna be 12 in january) and my top dysphoria gets pretty bad. If I were out at maybe 14 or 15 would I be too young to bind?
@@Maya-rg8yo Thanks for the advice.
@@Maya-rg8yo IK this is an old video but I had no idea there were other trans people my age online-
I wish I could get a binder. My Mum...ugh...she would be VERY unhappy. She is really religious so I can never say that she doesn't have a daughter... But a son...
Same

@@alexdrawz7010 it is called ironing or binding as in foot binding, Hella bad for you.
SAME, I never told anyone about the trans thing and I’m only 13 but I rlly wanna be a boy like wtf and my dad is really religious too:(
I have no idea how to tell my mom.
Petition to sell binders in basic stores (Walmart, Meijer, Target)
apparently target had those for a pride collection
@@devon-qd3vgI’m super late but they only sold them online or in more progressive states (California, New York, Delaware, etc).

IM LIKELY GETTING A GC2B BINDER FOR CHRISTMAS
did you get it?
VERY LATE BUT SO HAPPY FOR YOU
EXTREMLY LATE BUT YAAAAAY!
My best friend is a trans male and his mum are homophobic and transphobic ( he's pan) so I'm paying and ordering him a binder for his birthday. We measured him and he's so excited. Your videos have really helped me understand him and I just wanted to sy thank you. :)
I'm late but I just have to say you sound like an amazing friend :)
binding tip: wear it inside out. it's so so so much more comfortable when the seems aren't digging into your skin, and it holds the chest tissue better so you don't feel the need to constantly readjust (at least for the gc2b binders)
Can anyone second-opinion this??
Idk man, the one i have has clips and they dig into my skin, so i think wearing it inside out might actually help, I’ll try it out and update you
Update: it worked okay, the clips didn’t dig into my skin anymore, but it made my chest look kinda funky. 7/10
Update again. I tried it again today and it actually worked pretty well, it was way comfier, but I’d have to find a way to keep the clips from sticking out at the side since it’s inside out. Otherwise, it worked really well, I don’t know why it was so weird last time. 8/10
I've worn one of those for over a year, they're horrible man
although another tip for those binders is you can wear it back-to-front and it has a good result but after a while they stretch alot
Last time i was this early people still referred to me as my birthname ;;
Demigod Cee yES
Demigod Cee i don't know how to react to this
Not to be rude or anything but if you were early you would have gotten here before the video was uploaded. The proper way to word it is that you are on time
Michael Andrews it’s a joke
wish I can wear a binder my father is unsupportive and took my binder away from me ...
I just want to say that that fucking sucks, and I hope he gets caught in a combine harvester. Lmao no, jk. But if you can always use an Extra small tube top(I think that's what it's called) if you have a small chest. (: As for a big chest...I don't know much, I have DD chest and I can't live without my binder. Sports bras or backwards sports bras can work pretty well to an extent, but just keep in mind that they're not built to be used backwards/for a long time. Hope this helped :p
thank you so much ! I wish I could do these things but my father is very set that "I'm not a guy" and took my sports bras and clothes that made me look more masculine I have to wait till I am moved out which in hope its in two years or so
Kaden Poole You can get emancipated 16+ you just have to show the court proof you can take care of yourself.
I would move out by now BUT the thing is I am nowhere financially ready to move out and my dad wont let me live anywhere else,,, im hunting places to live and saving money to move out so its just a slow painful process
yeah kinda I aint mentally stable but i will live it will just make me more apreccaitve of binder and Testosterone
Me: •Wants to bind•
My mom: nOooO it'S dAngERoUs-
Me: :') thanks mom
At least she cares about you ❤️
Try and ask your doctor next time you go! It helped my mom understand.
*realizes this is from a year ago*
@@bonk3750 Lol I still got the notification. Thanks for the advice, I still don't have a binder. I'll bring it up again later.
Angelo Eyes oh yay I helped-
I GOT MY FIRST BINDER TODAY AND IM SO HAPPY!!!!

Your hair looks soooo good.
thank you sam for making this video.. now i can make my mom watch it. because she told me binding isnt safe for me..she doesnt know anything about it.. ily sam♡♡
😂Thx for deleting the footage ❤️❤️BTW ILYSFM ❤️
I wear gc2b and they're so comfortable I've slept in it before (for sleepovers)
But it should be avoided
Same ... but I think my binder is too big ... it’s still obvious that I have the useless fleshbags ... but I can’t get another one 😔
Xaiden Bowman From what I've seen online, GC2B is more comfortable, and Underworks is better at binding but more uncomfy
But the same thing happens with mine (I only hv GC2B)
Of course, although I dont recommend sleeping in it ( mainly because its harmful )
A cuss word within the first 3 seconds... fuck yeah 🤙🏽😂
The day has come where I'm ordering my first binder.
Congrats!
KT TAPE IS KNOWN TO RIP SKIN
Pff- the spider.
I just got my first binder!!!
CONGRATS 🥳
Okay, so I know I'm probably being really annoying but i really don't know if I'm transgender, all I know is that I really like looking and passing as a guy, would it be like, bad if I got a binder if I don't know yet, I just feel like 1. It would help me start figuring stuff out with myself and 2. Make me feel more confident...
Sarina Cardona Yo, you can wear a binder even if you're not sure that you're trans, if it makes you feel more comfortable then go for it! Binding is for everyone!
honestly i went through the same thing a few months ago
Sarina Cardona go to ftm essentials website because they give out free binders, all you have to do is fill out a form and they will either accept or deny and they also ship privately so your parents won't know
Katie no, i used a bandage but then i stoped because i didn't like it
Katie if you ever want to talk dm me on insta @ellymoorr
The fact that youtube recommended me this right before I was planning on sleeping with my binder on
I realllly want to get a gc2b binder but I'm not out so I can't ask my mum D:
RANDOM SHIZZLE 21 same
RANDOM SHIZZLE 21 lmao i just told my mom that it was a weird ass sports bra. She was weirded out but got me it anyway. Ive had it for a year and she hasnt questioned it at all
tiegan put a gift card on a website and buy a binder from there. Tell your parents you bought a t-shirt
tiegan What I did was keep a few dollars every time I got money for dinner/school and gave the rest of the change back to my parents, and slowly took some out of my debit account, then when I had $45 I put it on a VISA gift card and ordered so that wouldn’t show up in my transactions history, told my parents it was a t-shirt, and it came in a blank gray envelope because gc2b understands the struggle
i have a suggestion
ask your friends to buy one for you
give them measurements and send them a picture of the binder and size you want
and then when they give it to you
pay them back
There needs to be some sort of better exchange system for people who have had top surgery and no longer bind
Augustus what exchange system?
Is it bad I'm too scared for top surgery..?
@@berrym7776 if it's a excited scared that's v expected
So today I went to a water park with a sports bra "I don't own a binder" I usually wear 2 sports bras but that's not the point I felt so bad about myself bc I saw all the guys taking off their shirts and here I was with my 3 fricking layers.. but when i went on a water slide me and my friend where wait in the line for 40 mins when I got to the top the lady told me I had to take off my shirt to go on the ride and i did and I felt so terrible about it like I felt sick to my stomach I couldn't even have fun bc I was to self conscious... is there a way that you got rid of that feeling
There are such things as swim binders.
I'm not trying to be selfish but wow I really need a binder i am trans and I don't have one I use this wrap thing but I feel like it's really dangerous for me. Like one day I couldn't breath because of it. And my parents refuse to help me. I just really need help with binding and this video did help me a lot thank you. Also if anyone needs to bind and they can't afford it use some sports wrap. It's kinda dangerous though like don't wrap it too tight you might die.
hey i know it has been a while but there are a lot of sites that can provide free binders for financial or situational cases. ones I've tried are Binder Boys and point 5cc
That camera setup tho 😂
Made my day
The gc2b binders are so comfy and they don’t hurt
Heh.. My parents don't support me, I sort of try to bind myself but it doesn't work.. I've tried a lot to find my own way yet I never can. I even asked when I'm eighteen would they care if I were to take hormones. They said no and took my phone away for a month for talking like that. I'm in a great situation.
Omg Sam! That's so awesome, you have such a big heart. I finally got my first binder this month and i know how happy that made me... you're gonna make so many people happy!
When you get a bra ad before watching a video about binding...😂
Right now I only have access to sport bras but they work ok
|-/
lane boy |-/
These videos are so important to the people that don't know what the heck to do then end up binding incorrectly and hurting themselves, amazing content
thank u for existing sam im a trans guy stuck in an unsupportive household and it gets harder by the day as theres no support at home and also no support by my peers or people outside my home so it gets really hard to exist especially pre t when i bind every day and everyone immediately refers to me as she or her anyways no matter how much i look like a guy it doesnt matter i still have a girl voice and no matter how much voice training i do without facial hair or a deep naturally masculine voice it will never help. i just need to make it until i can go on t and you are helping me survive and cope thanks so much
Thank you so much I’m non-binary and this helped a lot *ik this video is old but I was looking for binding tips and this came up*
WARNING!!!!!
DO NOT USE ACE BANDAGES
MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER HAS NOT ONLY HAD MARKS, BUT THEY WOULD ALWAYS FALL OFF AND WOULD LEAD TO UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATIONS
ITS ALSO BEEN PROVEN TO HAVE A GREATER RISK OF HEALTH PROBLEMS (broken ribs, deformation of breast tissue which can negatively affect the outcome of top surgery if you plan on getting it, and breathing problems)
Long story short: use the regular binders. Please
I have a gc2b and it is SO EASY to put on! Seriously they're only $30 or $35 each and they work so good. I'm going to try trans tape soon. I have a very large chest and I'm excited to try it. It isn't athletic tape, it's designed specifically for taping down your chest and is safe to wear for 3-5 days. It's water-proof and all that. (I promise I don't work for them I'm just really excited to try it lol)
I was looking for a video like this and everyone looked creepy af for some reason and then I came across Sam! I was happy he had a video like this. ^-^
I live in Bakersfield... I wear a hoodie all the time, even in summer. I tell my homophobic and transphobic family that they are just comfortable. I wish I had a binder.
Sweetest guy. I swear from all his videos, I'm hooked.
I was talking to my mom about how I needed better hair spray, saying that I don't like having to redo it about 50 times. "Well that's what girls do." She said, I was so close to saying "but I'm not a girl". (I'm trans FtM and she doesn't know)
this video was good cuz i was wondering bout some binders n shit like that. getting some soon, need a few :) love you sam!
Me:120 degrees outside, and still refuses to leave the house without a hoodie
I get that
For a while now, I've been not feeling like myself. I've recently found that I am genderfluid and I'm going to ask my mom for a binder this Christmas! I think it will help me feel more comfortable sometimes when I'm feeling like a boy.
Thanks for the great video!
I'm ftm as well with a small B/larger A chest with broader shoulders (pre-t). I've found that KT tape works SUPER well and is the most comfortable to wear. Pros: No pressure on back, shoulders, or ribs (unlike a tank type binder) if used in the right way. Can be used for more than 8-12 hours (usually about a day and a half) without changing it out; really depends on how much you put on and what activities you do. Very comfortable and safe if used correctly.
Cons: Cost. Cost. Cost. A regular wearable tank binder will cost around $20-$30. No problem. KT tape comes in 20-strip rolls, which will last you about an average 15 days if you use only two strips at a time. Ordering in bulk from amazon is an option, but otherwise you will have to pay about $15-$20 every time you get a new roll. Another con I shouldn't forget to mention is your skin. For me, wearing the tape at night wasn't the best experience for the skin on my back/lats. When I rolled in my sleep, the tape would cause friction against my skin and I would wake up with raw patches. I would recommend taking the tape off in the shower or bath to reduce the redness and friction.
I'm early for one of my favorite RUclipsrs!
i really need a underworks binder or a gc2b binder cause atm i use bandages and it has caused so many problems ... but my family wont buy me one as they are not supportive and i cant afford one cause i dont get money
yeah i know what that feels like i use bandages because i'm not out to all my family im just out to my sister and my mom and im a student i cant work so i depen on my mom and she doesnt want to buy me a binder because she doesnt support me being trans
jai cooper please please please please do not use bandages. layer sports bras or something but please do not use bandages it can severely hurt your ribs
jai cooper Get a job or sell some old stuff you don't use.
jai cooper ftm essentials is a website that gives out free binders for ftm people that either can't afford or can't get you just have to submit like a form and they'll either accept of deny you. They give out underworld binders at the moment that were donated to them. I'd suggest trying that for you. They ship discreetly so your parents won't know you're receiving a binder. But both Gc2b and under works are great tho
accept or* deny. It's worth a try just fill out the form it could take a few weeks for them to get back to you
This was the third video that came up when I searched trans the other videos were all transphobic and scary. This really cheered me up thanks
I feel like I'm trans so this helped a lot👍 (also you are one of my favorite you tubers)
my mum got me a full tank GC2B cuz they didn’t have a half tank when she ordered it but it was a size too big so i was able to get a size down in half. when she ordered the first one, it took a while to arrive (around a month, month & 1/2) but only cuz lockdown happened and literally everything was taking like five years. my second one i ordered took about a week or two and showed up with really discreet packaging - it didn’t even say GC2B - and i had a little trouble putting it on, but it fit perfectly after i got settled down in it. i will say that i can’t slouch a ton as it digs into my stomach a little but overall it’s pretty nice. of course i have a little discomfort while i have it on but i expected that since i’m literally compressing my chest into my lungs but yknow-
Aight sorry this is off topic, but nice pfp👌
[help], thanks bro :,)
I can’t wear a binder due to having an autoimmune disorder (my brother told me that it’s more dangerous) and he got me a compression bra which I’m so so grateful for. But lately I have been feeling extremely dysphoric and the compression bra doesn’t really help flattening the chest. My brother thinks it’s a phase I’m going through and it sometimes makes me doubt myself but seeing people like Sam makes me feel not alone :)
hey just know youre definitely not alone, theres tons of trans people out there and only you know what you are and what you arent. Dont let your brother thinking its a phase make you doubt yourself, you are who you know you are.
@@celso2843 thank you that really meant alot, but thankfully my brother does understand it and knows that there are non-binary people thank goodness I also just want to say my brother is actually a really good person lol he's still learning about this stuff and is caring so yay hah
@@maddie9125 thats good, i hope everything works out for you!
Lmao he’s like “this is my set up” bro, I love it and I’m so happy that you’re doing well
1. I know this is an older video and I’m late. Don’t remind me.
2. Sam, I’m a HUGE fan of you! I’ve been watching for a while now and I love watching you grow into a better human every day, not to mention you’re such an inspiration for other trans guys out there, such as myself 😊
Anyways, honest review of GC2B and Underworks binders. I used to use Underworks binders bc they can be the cheaper option at times and I got a good review from another trans creator. I bought my first one several years ago and it was really nice. It’s just SUPER tight, even if you get the right size. The material was also super scratchy and irritated my skin so bad to the point that I bled a lot and my skin would never heal. Also, not many color choices, but that wasn’t so important to me at the time. However, I would still recommend it as a good 1st binder. Last year, I got my first GC2B binder and I’m literally in love. The material’s a lot thinner and more breathable (perfect for these humid summer days here in NC), it’s not nearly as scratchy, it binds just as well if not better than Underworks, and there’s SO many color options and coverage options (just your chest or your whole chest and stomach)! Also, they have swim binders and all kinds of cool stuff for sale! If you can afford them, GC2B is my favorite option. They have a lot of deals on their website almost all the time. But anyways, this comment is already long enough so I’m gonna go. One last thing tho, love all my peeps who bind and love you Sam! Keep doing your thing, man! ✌🏽
I was extremely lucky for when I brought my binder. I measured myself and I was 1 inch short (at the time) for the smallest size. But when it came, it was too small because we kinda accidently washed it. So it shrunk an inch :)
If you are binding with a DIY binder/layered sport bras/your binder is maybe a little bit lose and doesn't bind very well:
1. Layering is everything! I'm an A cup and I'm able to hide my boobs without a binder almost completely just by wearing a shirt+a hoodie.
2. Avoid sweaters. They may seem safe to wear, because they are thick and big and fluffy and all this kinda stuff, but - trust me, it's not that amazing. Because sweaters are quite a thick fabric, they are also heavy, so they just kinda slide down your body and over your curves... yeah.
3. If you are binding, remember the rules - take breaks as often as you can, don't bind for more then 8 hours, don't sleep in your binder (!!!) and don't forget to drink at least 1,5l a day (water, unsweetened tea, etc.).
Stay safe out there everyone :)
this helped me so much thx Sam
hey guys
i highly recommend transtape for binding
its a lot like kt tape but made specifically for trans guys
anyway its not as bad for you as binders and you can wear it for up to five days at a time so i prefer wearing transtape rather than a binder
AYYY NOTIFICATION SQUAD
When small tibbies run in the family: imma just wear two bras
Who tf named the bra?
I'm actually getting my first binder! Im getting it from a Point of Pride giveaway
Love you bean
Awww, that's really nice Sam....good job!
Heyyy! I am getting my first binder on Wednesday. I am really excited about it. I will tell you how it goes
Dude that’s awesome! How ya liking it so far?
I was just watching some binding videos and this was only posted an hour ago lmao ily sam
Always love your informative videos Sam!
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT KT TAPE: You should use this for much less time than a binder 4 hours MAX. Also be sure to look up proper instructions and safety risks before hand. Improperly using kt or trans tape can result in serious injury
whoa i didn't know u were about to upload
Your videos are so amazing and they make me feel happy that we have had a lot of the same problems as being ftm
I'm genderfluid with a tendency twords male so binding often underworks is a great binder brand comfy and affordable
I’m trans (ftn) and I just got my first binder but it’s in my house in New York and I’m on vacation in Costa Rica so I’ll get it when I get back.. AHHH I WANT TO SO BADLY. Iv been questioning since second grade and now I’ll finally feel like myself and I’ll get to have a binder before my 13th birthday.... I’m so excited
Guess who’s mom asked a bunch of yes or no questions and let me buy a binder!
Lol I was still too scared to say anything more than yes or no.
s/o kt tape!!!! u can get it at WalMart in the hand weights and yoga mat area!!
I love you sam. Thank you for being such an amazing role model
JUST STARTED MY TRANSITION YEAAAAY :DD
thank you dude I've been trying to find a video about this
KT tape works really well if you have a small chest. There's also another type of binding tape that's recently hit the market, and it's called TransTape! It was created by a trans guy for people that want to bind, as opposed to KT tape that's made for sports health and injuries. TransTape has worked really well for me, and it's hella cool bc it comes in different sizes (bc hey, everyone has a different chest size). Granted, it can take a minute to learn how to put it on correctly, but the creator has actually put a video on youtube explaining and showing how to apply it!
This is very awesome of you I’m not trans but I support all of you
That is awesome! For kids or people who cant get them... that's so sweet! Xoxx
thank you so much for this video, i was able to buy my first binder today because of it 💛
for people who are dysphoric about their hips/legs,, if you wear a lighter coloured baggy-ish shirt or sweater and black or dark colored pants it'll even itself out a little
:) You're videos are great. I really hope you keep this channel up.
Aight so my parents are unsupportive af and my best mate gave me one of his old binder (love him 😂) but hiding from my parents is gonna be difficult af and I’m pretty sure I’ll die if they find out. Soooooooo 😂
i love the xo merch, i've been listening to abel since 2013 :)
I wear hoodies almost 100% of the time, they are like 3 times too big for me, it somehow makes me seem like I have a smaller chest and I like it. I am way too anxious to ask my mom to get me a binder.
Sam you are so freaking amazing
Omg you're such an inspiration, truly thank you so much. This is amazing and you're even more so❤
GC2B is what I use. It's really nice and what I would recommend.
currently layering as many compression sports bras as I can, ordering the gc2b one on Friday tho. i cant wait to feel more confident in the clothes I love so much (button ups, hoodies, giant shirts etc)
I have a Gc2B binder, but I highly recommend the long version of it due to slippage. It won’t slip to the point where your chest is exposed if you have the short one, but it’s mostly a comfort issue to me. Plus they’re top notch binders for a decent price. The most you’ll pay is $40
Hey! I actually like that lighting! It looks great!
I bind every now and then by using a sports bra. I'm experimenting right now but I feel a huge boost in my confidence when I do.
This video was so helpful. I love gc2b they are a great company
