Hello Everyone,
I had stumbled upon the following technique a few weeks ago through trial and error while desperately trying to find different ways I could reduce the appearance of my gynecomastia. And though it may not seem like much to some, for me it certainly has made a world of difference. If you are like me and are a student who isn’t working and lives with others. Chances are you can’t get surgery or even a binding vest as those require a credit card and usually have to be bought online (as far as I know). Anyway if you find yourself in such a situation then you may find the following method very useful. This method reduces the outward sticking out appearance of gynecomastia about 90% and stops the giggling almost altogether.
All you need is a rope or fabric cord and an undershirt. I always use the sleeveless cotton undershirts, which are as thin as the usual t-shirt but not as thin as some of the ones out there which are basically as thin as silk. So try to use the regular cotton undershirts (sleeveless or not). Now tie the rope at your waist pretty tight. The tightness shouldn’t bother you at all since it won’t be at your stomach but at you waist and hip bones. Also the tie should be over your pants and under your belt. It is important that you make the tie under your belt as otherwise the rope will not stay in place for more than a second when you walk. But if you tie it underneath your belt it would stay locked. After tying the rope or cord, pull the undershirt more and more down and make it as tight as possible. Now wear your regular shirt over and you will find that your chest is flattened dramatically.
Now there are a few drawbacks to this method. The most unappealing is that it makes it a little hard to breathe since the undershirt is locked on pretty tight. I am in okay shape so I don’t mind this too much, infact I forget about it after a while. But those who are obese or have asthma or other breathing problems they may not be able to use this method. But instead of not trying it at all, I urge them to give it a try and if they find their breathing too obstructed they should just drop it. Another bad thing is that the rope sometimes gets out of place even if its tied under the belt. This happens if you kneel over to tie to your shoes, if you just sit, it stays in place, but if you kneel over it comes up. However this isn’t a problem because you can easily pull the rope down in its original place. Another setback is that you can only use this method with an undershirt, on really hot days it may get a little sweaty since you will not be wearing a single layer. That’s about it, and compared with the pros I don’t find the few cons enough deterrent to stop. After suffering for years and years come summer time, I have finally found a way to get some peace.
Now I’m not sure if this is a new method, infact I may seem like a fool making this thread and this thing turns out to be a very common knowledge. But I usually don’t browse these sites so I wouldn’t know. I certainly never came across this method on the web so I am posting it here in the hopes that it may help some people. And if it does happen to be something new, then please pass it on to anyone you think it can help, including positing it on other gynecomastia help sites.
Peace
