    Binding your chest with tape is an established thing that can be safe. Safer than a wearable binder even, since it doesn’t compress your entire rib cage. It can also be left on for a few days at a time. But duct tape is just about the least skin safe tape you could use for that.

    If this is of interest to anyone, there’s purpose made binding tape. If you find that too expensive, get some of that breathable fabric medical tape from the pharmacy/drugstore.

      Thanks for clarifying! All I know about binding is what I read on a post on Reddit years ago discussing it and my memory is not what it was.
