You can use TransTape for many things, not just binding! We've talked a lot about binding with TransTape, so I think it's time we covered packing again since its been a while. Last time we went over how to pack with TransTape and stand to pee prosthetics. This time around, we're going to talk more about packing in general and how TransTape stands out against the alternatives.
Whether you're a first time user or a TransTape veteran, you may have encountered some skin irritation. You don't necessarily need to consider your skin sensitive for it to get irritated either, by the way. Everyone's skin can become irritated sometimes, sensitive or not, so let's go over a couple reasons and maybe even some solutions!
If you're looking for different ways to bind, or maybe just an alternative to your current method, you might have heard of TransTape. TransTape is a compression free binding method that makes some people raise their eyebrows when they first hear about it. But fear not, TransTape is made for everybody, especially you!
If you're a first time user, you may have some questions before diving into your first application. Before this post, I wrote another first time user post with some pre-taping tips that we'll recap here, but you should still give it a read! This post is not a step by step how to bind, only a few beginner binding tips, but you can find the step by step here.
If you read "First Time User: Before You Apply," you should be ready to apply for the first time! In this case, we're going to go over packing with TransTape for the first time. We covered how to pack in the past, but this time we're going to focus on key tips for first time users. If you need a detailed step by step, check out "Packing With TransTape."
You just learned about TransTape and you might be wondering if there's anything you should know before trying it for the first time. If that's you, this post could be of service. This is everything you should know about TransTape before your first application and a few resources to check out once you're ready to apply!
We've learned about applying and removing TransTape, but we haven't gone into a lot of detail about after-care. After-care can mean applying healing salve but it can also mean letting your mind rest along with your skin. And if you're new to TransTape, this is especially important.
Some people have been wondering if using TransTape to bind can lead to top surgery complications. I'm definitely not a Doctor, but I do know that there are countless TransTape users who have gone on to have extremely successful top surgeries, free of any TransTape related complications.
