i guess...the concept of weightloss might pull me into doing it again

There are better ways for that, though! xD Don't sweat yourself to death...

Though visiting saunas sounds wonderful, not to mention, healthy. D:

That's sweating from heat and... uh, not from your body dying from lack of oxygen. If you consider dieting, don't be the millions of people who are too lazy to maintain a healthy diet (not starve themselves) and exercise regularly. Most of the short-cuts people take are frighteningly unhealthy.

Back to cosplay, though. The bandages are a bit tight in the beginning, but because you're an A cup, it should only take a few minutes for you to get used to them. Though they do tightly bind around your chest, they do loosen slightly, according to your movements, and possibly stretch a teensy bit where you need it to, over time. This also means that you might need to readjust once in a while in the bathroom or something, but it's no big deal. What are you trying to cosplay?

Ah, well that's a relief. After all, the slight problematic breathing wasn't too bad, so if it should get better later on, then I think I can definitely handle it. Thanks again.
I'm going to be cosplaying Wonderweiss (Bleach), Link, and possibly Yagami Raito if my friend needs me to.

All boys! :O

No problem, and good luck with your cosplay. Though, I'd advise you to use safety pins instead of the little hooks the bandages already come with. Sometimes they fall off, especially if you bend and the bandage contracts to your shape. Safety pins take a bit longer to apply and remove, but they're much more secure.

Ok this going to sound a little odd, and its embarassing, but does anyone have any tips for binding cup sizes lager then a C??? If you do thats great!!! If not its no big deal I'll figure it out.

I typed a little about it on a previous post.

I find it amazing that some people actually use duct tape... I've never done it, it sounds really painful to take off... >.< But apparently a lot of people do it, does it work well or something?

Duct tape does work well, but it's very stiff and uncomfortable. It works out aesthetically, though. IMO, the best alternative is to use sports bandages. They come in sizes for your chest, and they sell them at local drug stores. If you're an A to a small C, the bandages would do fine on its own. If any larger, than you can duct tape over it, rather than apply duct tape directly onto your skin.

They're less comfortable than the bandages alone, but very effective. I don't know of any more comfortable methods of binding for large chests, as this method is pretty tight when done properly. At first, I'd be uncomfortable to breathe. You'll eventually get used to it, but I think it'd be safer to head to your hotel room every couple of hours to unbind and rest for a bit.

Thanks for the tips I think Iam going to try to go from a D to an A!!!!! Or at least thats my goal...

aha. wow...i recently went shopping and found out am a c cup now...it totally sucks.....

You're a C-cup. This is somehow a BAD thing? Tons of girls would envy you for your chest size! Especially us puny Asians. ;A;

Agreed. D= Besides, a bigger chest brings up a lot of cosplay opportunities, considering how proportional many fictional (particularly anime/game) characters are.

...Plus, I don't think I'm (probably) ever growing out of an A-cup, so... You have something I'll probably never have. D=









Yes having a bigger chest brings up female cosplay opportunities, but I prefer to cosplay as guys and it just complicates things...

I agree, sweating yourself to death isn't the answer!!! Diet and exercise!!!!!!!

Banages, yes, I think their the way to go!!!

Plastic wrap? xD The thought never occurred to me, but it sounds extremely uncomfortable! xP At least now I know I'll never be doing that... xD

I don't know about duct tape on breasts but my friend once went a whole week with shoes made out of duct tape that were wrapped around her feet and she claimed it didn't hurt at all when she unwraped them...But I think it would hurt!!!

Damn, that's pretty hardcore. xD Maybe she has a high-tolerance of pain though. But then again, I think duct tape dulls a bit after a while, so it might have been less painful considering how long she kept them on.

Well it might have dulled, but its still pretty crazy! *laughs* Good times, good times!!!

Your welcome!!!!! ;D

never......i mean, NEVER use plastic wrap......it works....untill you start to sweat......just dont do it....EVER!

You tried using PLASTIC WRAP??? I didn't even think of that!!! lol I could see how that would make you sweat!!!

Haha, this is gonna be the first year of Fanime where I'm cosplaying all male characters (usually there's at least one female thrown in there). xD And it will also be the first time I'm binding my chest for it.

I am using some splints (wraps you use for a sprain or something) that my mom's got (she's a school nurse), and they seem to work fine. I got my chest almost completely flat! My mom's friend suggested to me just yesterday that I should take a piece of sheet, wrap it around my chest to my back, and wrap the splints over it, so it doesn't make markings on my skin, so I'm gonna try that out soon.

It did restrict my breathing somewhat though, so I might have to fix that...

Yeah, splints work wonders!!! You can buy them at drug stores, I think there pretty cheap, but I can't remember. As for how to get back your air, try wrapping it looser but with more layars, I am not sure it'll work, but its worth a try!!!

I a brunette too, so I usually cosplay darked haired guys, but this year is an exception!

Well, I don't have a wireless conection, but I get on the internet! We bought a conector to hook our wii up to the internet!
As for how I am liking it, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS SOOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!! ;D

lol of course it's fun! and easier for us, ne?

Soooooooooo much easier!!! :D

its okay! your not alone! i do that too

thats why i tent to crossplay guys with short hair but now everyone is pressuring me to grow my hair out....i liked my short hair...to see it grow out makes me cry

Don't let people pressure you into anything!!! My friends want me to cut it short but I liike my long hair! If you like your hair short don't let other peoples opions effect you!!!

Anyways I tend to cosplay as guys with long hair~Its fun! :)

It may be messy, but oh so fun!!! ;D

cool! ^ ^ I don't have to worry about wigs, just straightening my own hair and getting the accessories done right

To be quite honest I usually don't have to do wigs because I always try to pick characters with the right kind of hair!!! Which is why I am not knowing what to do with this new project...

I don't mind non anime cosplay. Sometimes its REALLY fun to see them! Last year I danced with a storm trooper at the black and white ball!!! :D

@Nightroad have you gotten a bigger wig yet?

No I haven't had time! *hangs head in shame* and I have NO idea where to even find wigs...

It hasn't been decided. And I would also like to ask are we having it at the vine now?

me too! X3
back on topic though, I'd like to say that my Haku cosplay is coming along rather well

Good! So is mine for the most part! Do you, or anyone elsse need help with something?

aw man!!! I hope I see you all there! You all seem like such great people!!!!!

Kisses for everyone then? And yes I did try with the hair net and clipping it down, my hairs just too long!! Oh well, THANK YOU ALL EVER SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME!!!!!!!!!! It means alot! *bows*

aha! no problem, you dont need to bow...everyone needs help once in a while! you know..., its never a bad time to go out and get your hair thinned...you could try that...you head feels conciderably lighter....and its a great new look....

but if you dont want to cut your hair try a larger wig size to fit all of your massive amount of hair in.....

kisses! they are the best!!!!

I'll try that(larger wig size cuz I don't want to cut my hair), THANKS!!!
