Uh, so as the title says, I want to use cotton fabric rolls as a way to compress down my breasts as a way to hide their growths from my parents (whom i have to visit soon). I tried buying binders made for transmascs, however, I didn’t find an option that fit my ribcage (which I am finding out is actually really large). Then, with the wrap, I can wear 2 layers of shirt (I’ll claim it’s a fashion thing) on top of that. I’m not quite sure how well it will work.

Alternatively, I also now have 4 sports bras with removal pads. The problem with the sports bras is that while I can easily explain bringing along rolls of Bandages, bringing along bras would wierd them out a lot and raise questions. Idk how to hide any bras I bring along, since my mom always goes through my stuff.

I’m also really not sure how I am supposed to hide my hormone supplies. What I’ve come up with so far is to pre-prepare supplies, put them in a padded metal box. Then once I get to my parents, I bury them in the ground somewhere in whatever woods they have nearby. I can then go there whenever I want, do the hormones in secret. The only problem I can think of is how to handle transporting the injections. Should I bring along the vial, or should I pre-prepare shots?

The more I type shit out, the more I’m thinking to myself what kind of spy bullshit am I even trying to do. Instead of coming out the closet, I’m doing this nonsense.

    but as for your HRT supplies, is the privacy situation really so bad you can’t just put it in a drawer?

    Putting it in a drawer would be practically equivalent to just me going up to them and telling them to their face.

    putting it out in the wilderness seems unsanitary, and like too big of a hassle.

    The hassle is not an issue, but the sanitation aspect I suppose is. As far as I’m thinking, placing my vial, syringes and swipes wrapped into cloth inside a metal box should be sufficient to protect them. Buy if that’s not enough, I’m not sure what would be, other than maybe a rented locker (but that runs into issues of stealing and time limits).

    you could also put it in a cardboard box for something else nobody would think to check, like a shoebox or a box for an old console or something

    If I showed up with a cardboard box, it would arouse even more curiosity.

      Try to get a container that is water proof and air-proof, and something thermally insulated. Ambient humidity can really fuck up pharmaceuticals, or help mold grow on the packaging.
