Hi, I'm Nick. I have am the creator and director of this program since day one.

It's not a fancy page, no frills...just facts. I enjoy helping guys get a binder, when they are having financial difficulties.

I do whatever I can to help but I warn the reader/visitor, I am zero tolerance for bull. I have no time for it.

I will go to any length to help those who are genuine and appreciative. I don't ask for anyone to kiss ass but being appreciated for my help, goes a long way

And if Thank You does not exist in your vocabulary, please do not apply.

If you are 18 and older, you are welcome to apply. If you are a parent or guardian of a younger Transgendered child who wishes to live as a boy and needs his first binder, feel free to contact me. Please note, no one under 18 can make contact - you must be the parent or legal guardian. Often I will ask to speak with the parent and/or guardian by phone to verify that the person asking is truly the adult.

CRITERIA - Who may apply and who may not

Please note, the Current/New Applicant Criteria has been modified:

Due to who and what transmen are and what being this kind of man is, No TG Butch, Gender Queer, Gender Blender/Bender FEMALES, Butch Lesbians or Drag Kings.

This program is for TG/TS men who live their lives full-time as men, are undergoing or soon will undergo hormonal therapy, will soon have breast removable "top surgery" when affordable and whose mental state necessitates a binder.

Many Drag Kings have donated their used binders so, we have always had great cooperation with this segment of society.

No College students unless registered as Male and supporting self - If still registered as female, Please visit http://www.inabind.transactiveonline.org/index.php

Are you an A cup/have tiny breasts? You will not qualify

If you are below a B Cup or your measurements are within 2 inches of each other, you do not need a binder. You may think you need one but it is not a supportive qualification. Many use a couple tight tee shirts and flatten their breasts quite well.

Men whose breasts are large, hard or are too big for the tight tee method, this is the place for you.

* If you are in a facility now, have your treating Therapist or Psychiatrist contact me on your behalf - This has occurred before. Dr. Kathleen Farrell is a supporter of this program and has gotten a few binders before for her patients in crisis. If you write in stating you are in a facility, we will need your therapist to contact us so that we know it is acceptable to send a binder to you. Generally, the therapist has been the one to make contact about a binder, not the actual patient.

 OUR BINDERS -  What we have on hand most of the time for distribution

 

                         997         983        990/980

If we have no binder for you, in your size, consider a Title9! We have a lot of them!

Don't say "No" to a Title9®, choosing to put yourself at risk using duct tape, ace wraps or lumbar supports, because of the word "Bra"! There is No room for ignorance, false bravado or machismo when it comes to your safety! Get over it! Some may refuse to offer these but, if they didn't work,  we would not have some many donated to us! They'll work until something better becomes available! You must be able to breath in and out easily! Just $5 - That's it!

We reserve the right to refuse a binder or service to anyone, either before or after an approval

Reasons for a refusal or cancelation of an Approval or Reservation

If you think I am kidding, rethink. I have been running this program for too long to put up with any BS.

 

  • Abusive emails
  • Emailing us asking "Are you ever going to answer my application!" or similar that comes across as demanding or abusive

 

  • Demanding emails
    • Refusing to send the required donation, either by insisting you do not have it or that you cannot get it. The application clearly states that this is a requirement and you must check "Yes, I understand" before you can submit your application. You cannot claim you did not know
    • Telling us what you will send for the cost of the shipping, not what we tell you we accept.
    • Refusing to read the information sent to you

     

  • Late Payment
    • A pre-written email is sent to each approved applicant with extremely detailed information; no person gets a different version - each gets the same identical information - No one is picking on you! In this email, an approved applicant is given a deadline date for required shipping payment to arrive. These reasons below will result in a payment being returned, often with postage due, meaning, you pay the mail carrier 45 cents to get your letter back
      • Late payment. An approved applicant is given 9 days
      • Envelopes post marked the date the deadline ends - the date given for payment to be in our hands
      • Any payment sent Overnight/Express. If you can afford almost $20 or borrow this much money, you can buy a new binder from Underworks®\

     

  • Sending an unacceptable payment form
    • It is clear what we accept and what we do not. A pre-written email is sent to each approved applicant with extremely detailed information; no person gets a different version - each gets the same identical information - No one is picking on you! The following payment forms sent will result in return of payment and cancelation of the binder reservation
      • Coins
      • Personal Checks
      • Visa Gift Cards
      • Gift Cards of any type
      • Two party checks

       

  • Telling us you never got the binder.
    • All are sent with Tracking.
    • If you moved and did not tell us, that is on you. You were given a cell phone number to text us at.
    • If you had a break-up and a spouse or ex will not give a package to you, you need to report it to the post office and the police. We will not get involved in domestic issues

TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING

If you are planning on getting a binder from our program just to try to return it to Underworks® for a refund or exchange, DON'T. It cannot be done. White binders are stamped and black binder have a section cut out at the base along with an iron on label that reads: "Big Brothers Binder - Donated Chest Binder"

Also, all binders shipped from Underworks® are bar coded and SCANNED prior to packaging. You cannot claim you ordered 3 and only one arrived. They all are in the same package and will not ship, if one or more is missing.

Each package from Underworks and from This Program have a tracking barcode so, if it shows it was delivered, you cannot claim it wasn't.

 DON'T BLOW IT FOR OTHERS!
