really good way of binding! (good for large chested girls.)

Compression bandages! their normally used for people with like swollen feet and stuff, because their elastic, but for binding, their fantastic. mine velcros at each end so its so easy to use. heres a pic of me using it. keep in mind i am a size DD to E so its not really flat, but its really close.

breathing was really easy too, its not hugely restrictive. i'll be doing a tutorial soon if anyone's interested. you do read to wear a really well supporting bra underneath.
you can also buy the bandages , i think, in chemists. they last for years. the one i use was my mums and it works perfectly.

Are they like, skin coloured??
Because one of my planned crossplays this year has an open back, and I'd like to have something cover my boobs to feel secure.
I'm been looking at something similar to a b-holder (skin coloured binders Japanese cosplayers use, etc) so it's not really obvious if anyone sees my back.
Perhaps if you could so kindly post a picture of what these compression bandages look like? Like, even a random product picture to get an idea would be great!

I am a bit big chested to and use these. How on earth did you manage to get the bandages to stay up?

please tell me?

^I usually safety pin the start of the bandage to a tight boob-tube with straps or a tank top underneath, then wrap them around, and then attach the end with another safety pin.

Also, the $3 shop next to Metro sells some skin-colored bandages that are pretty good.
