TransGenX 4 Inch Wide Tape. Extra Wide for Trans FTM Chest Binder for Transgender

My fiancée agreed to try out this tape instead of some more expensive well-known brands found online. Overall it is the next best tape we’ve found! It doesn’t roll when you let go of it when first applying, it hold for about 3-4 days at a time for him and he works in steel milling, 12 hour days, 5 days a week so that’s pretty impressive to me. Cutting 5 sections, and applying 2 pieces on each side of his chest has been the most effective method, and the thickness of the tape is fantastic. It does last through a couple of showers before it starts to come off at the edges, especially on his back. The only downside is the glue residue that it leaves on the skin is incredibly difficult to remove but alcohol gets it off fairly well. I definitely recommend for anyone trying to decide whether or not to give this tape a try, even for a medium size chest, it works so well!

When I was putting the tape on the first day the edges were already peeling and the tape smelled like Elmer’s Glue and felt hard and rough. Through out the night it was getting somewhat itchy but I thought nothing of it because that’s how my body reacts when something is on it. The next day however it felt way more itchy and very irritated, I could feel blisters forming from the inside so once I got home I checked and not surprising there were some blisters underneath a spot of tape I peaked under, I put some Aloe Vera on to calm the irritation and come to find out the aloe was taking the tape off so I just ended up taking the whole thing off to find more blisters! On the left front side a small cluster of them and on the right front side a BIG line almost looking like a scar and that’s the one looking very irritated, it was like the burning irritated when I had the tape on, the back left side is just like the right front. This was definitely a big regret and a big waste of money!

If you have sensitive skin or anything do not buy. The tape bearly stuck and when I removed it because it was falling of I had a huge rash.

My boyfriend showed me this product when i first started binding back in april/early may. it has been my go to tape since. After a few months of consistently purchasing and using, this is my opinion. 1. If you sweat a lot naturally or if you plan to bind before going out during the summer, working out, etc, it will make the elastic SO insanely itchy that it’s pretty much unbearable to take off. 2. you technically can shower with it and change it after a few days, but once they’ve gotten wet that will also cause a ton of itchiness even once it dries. now remember i’m only speaking from my experience. When I first began to bind this wasn’t an issue at first, I could easily go 3-5 days no problem but now my skin has become notably more sensitive and usually when I bind anymore it causes itchiness commonly at the end of the first day and only gets worse from then on out. it’s annoying, but I cope with it 3. it doesn’t always happen, but sometimes right after you apply, the edges will peel up and stick to each other/not stick to your skin. the adhesive is too strong to separate it from itself, so once it’s at that point it’s just gotta stay that way. 4. If you have a bigger bust, it is more difficult to bind with this tape. i’ve had instances where Ill apply the tape and one half just refuses to stick to my skin. it doesn’t always happen but it’s a notable thing ive noticed. Also, if you need to use extra pieces of tape/overlap, they’re usually the first ones to loosen and start to fall off. if you overlap, there’s a good chance itll start to fall off after day one. 5. Binds well, but really irritates the skin after a couple days. Both me and my boyfriend have had times where the itchiness has become so bad we had to remove, and it would tear some skin or reveal blisters and we’d have to wait about a week before our skin healed and we could bind again. overall, i like this product i really do. It binds well (sometimes) and does its job but i do wish the adhesive was stronger and more gentle on the skin so it’s okay for longer wear.

Very good tape. It is extremely comfortable, durable and has a good adhesion. It is easy to remove and does not give allergic reactions as other tapes often did. If the taping has been practiced it will also last you for a good while.

Awesome binding tape for smaller sets, the adhesive is much stronger than any KT i've tried in the past, if anything it's a struggle to peel off even days later, so be careful of skin tears or blisters:)! When applied properly it certainly gets the job done.

Doesn’t stick AT ALL. Don’t waste your money

Gave me a brutal adhesive skin reaction

Good quality. Super comfy, I often forget I'm binding with this stuff. Can cause blisters if there's too much overlapp or folding of the tape when applied but is ok on sensitive skin. I dont advise wearing it for any more than 4 or 5 days in a row before taking it off for a break and reapplying. Easy to put on once you figure it out but do research the best ways to remove it without causing damage to the skin. Dousing the tape and skin in hot water and essential oils helps get it off without pulling and possibly splitting the skin. (Do research how to put it on and take it off safely guys xx)
