Thanks for the advice. My question is if I'm cosplaying as a character from Hetalia (America, or Russia) and I'm a c cup, then should I still bind? Or can i get away with a tight sports bra and compression shirt? Their clothes are technically military clothes so they are not tight or anything.

@darkneji7 It all depends on what you want and how you want it to look. You probably don't have to bind since you're a C cup, but if it looks better and you feel comfortable with it, go for it!

i have some questions

my mom doesnt like the idea of me binding cuz she says i could get cancer

is it true? also when ordering a cosplay do i do it binded with the measurements as a guy?

plz answer

@hauhi01 First of all, no, you cannot get cancer from binding. The main health problem I see is back pain, and that's because someone binded too tight. Yes, it is something squeezing your boobs down, often times for more than a few hours, but if it's loose enough so you can comfortably breath, it should work. Make sure it's also tight enough to bend down. A good median between those two work. Try it for a day before the cosplay, and see how it works, adjusting as needed. /continued

@hauhi01 part 2! Think of it like clenching your fist; if you clench your fist lightly for a whole hour, it's going to feel weird and maybe will cramp afterwards. That's like wearing binding for an entire week nonstop. So, it's totaly fine in moderation. But if you're scared anyway, a binding top provides much more support.

@hauhi01 Part 3! When ordering a cosplay, do it binded if you're cosplaying a guy. If you measure with breasts, the costume maker will assume you're not binding when cosplaying. You can't guess how much the client will lose in breast size. So, yes. Cosplaying as a guy=measure binded Thank you for your questions! 8D

@BarrieMyself Thank god im not only one! I tried tape, but with BIG boobs, thys and butt I look a tyranny when I cosplay guys. =__= I need a better binding method this helped.

[BarrieMyself]

I'm DD and I have an hourglass figure, with a big thighs and butt.

:C Can I bind all that? Or should I just stick to Female cosplays?
