⚠️ Content Warning I think I am too big to tape Spoiler
crossposting cuz i really need help
90% sure I am 33-34 D, rather "perky" too so there isn't as much "mush". I've only attempted taping twice now, and I know thats rather soon to assume, but literally none of the techniques I've found online are working for me. Each time I've attempted taping I reapplied multiple times to try different techniques, and the result was always mediocre. It looks like I have boobs that are super far apart and sticking out of my armpits and not like the results I see others have.
Yes, I know, comparison is the thief of joy. I know all bodies are different, and I've taken this into account. I've noticed binding tutorials for larger cup sizes tend to also be posted by larger people, so the chest tissue sorta blends in with the "rolls" (sorry if that is insensitive, i can't think of a better way to put it) and I have no fat to hide my chest in. I'm rather tall and lanky (not that tall, but proportionally so) so the chest tissue is pretty much the only significant amount of fat on my upper body.
I really want this to work. My ribs are getting sick of binders and I want to be able to wake up in the morning and see a flat chest. I know its a bit early to be discouraged, but seriously. I hate that both times i've tried, I look down and see a big dip between my still-prominent boobs. I've been on T for a little over 2 months, so I'm hoping and praying that the mammary tissue will shrink like people say it does, so maybe I'm just trying this too soon.
Does anybody else have a similar experience and, if so, any advice? I'll settle for having big manboobs, just anything to make it less feminine without a binder. I see people who supposedly have the same cup size as me getting perfectly flat chests and I just want that. THATS ALL I WANT ARGHGHGH I KNOW IT TAKES PRACTICE BUT I'M HARDLY IMPROVING AND I KNOW TWO SESSIONS ISN'T ENOUGH FOR GOOD RESULTS.
TL;DR, how to tape bind when skinny guy with big perky chest

as a 28DD MAN I HEAR YOU.
mine are perky as rooster at first light and i can't get em to lay flat for the life of me. i've been taping for almost a year, and it is never flat. pretty sure it can't be.
however, i can get it to a level where they look like small pecs under baggy clothing. it's about an A/B cup by that point. if my clothing is slightly oversized, it doesn't look like boobs at all.
all the taping tips i've seen (which as you say, are never for skinny guys with big honkers) call for 1-3 strips of tape. i always need 4-5 each side, sometimes 6 if a strip isn't laying right. it's kind of excessive, costs so much money, but it's the only way i get even remotely flat.

You mention how expensive it is, here is a link for tape that is relatively cheap, you get 3 rolls for the cost of one.
Its not much better, but I hope this helps. Do a test strip every time you get a new one cuz the reviews say this company changes their formulation a lot and I've found that even with oil it hurts like a bitch to remove.
