Back in Stock! S-1000 FTM Chest Binder - Buy it on Amazon.

Hey everyone, we wanted to update y’all on the Tranz* Forms store status and we are officially back in stock!
 
The Model S-1000

Tranz* Forms Bind-Rite PowerNet Sleeveless FTM Chest Binder with Double Panel Front

is now back on Amazon with a limited supply while we await supplies that are en route -
 
We ran out of stock of our first batch of inventory last week and as a result, unfortunately had to cancel 1 or 2 orders while we waited on supplies. As someone noted, that’s a good problem to have!
 
We’ve listened to your suggestions and worked to improve our chest binder with your help and input.
 
So we’ve come back after this brief hiatus with a brand new size scale, more shipping options, and the S-1000 is now available in black! White will also be coming soon.
 

Please check the description and instructions for the updated size chart!
 
This is a trial run of our new sizes, so we hope you will bear with us and please, please give us your feedback on how they are fitting now! You should not find them running a size too big any longer. Finally, if a size doesn’t work for you, we are happy to exchange it for a size that will.
 
Thanks for your patience!
Caleb - Tranz* Forms

Q:You just reappeared out of nowhere after being gone for 2 years... what happened?? And why have you said nothing about it?

Hey, I can understand your curiosity -

These projects take time to get up and running - we have been building up our inventory and working on developing our product line beyond just the two models we offer now.

We have been making active updates to our Facebook fan page about the status of our products and where you can buy them, which are currently available only on Amazon here:

I also lost account access to this Tumblr account for a while :( but recently was able to retrieve it. I even tried starting over and making a new Tumblr account, but that would have required rebuilding a fan base.So we dropped off of Tumblr for a while while we got set up with manufacturing the compression shirts, which we do on site, the website and on Amazon.

Since this is a side project of mine and not my main career, blogging updates/extending the website do take a back burner role at times. Luckily, my life has gotten less hectic - I was working 2 jobs before and doing this additionally, but was promoted and have only 1 other job now. So, as of very recently, I have the space to come back to this!

Our E-Commerce store on our website is not live at the moment but our website is www.tranz-forms.com

Signal Boost! - BLITZ - an all inclusive trans* and gender non conforming resource

WWW.BLITZTRANS.ORG

BLITZ

“YOU ARE AN ARTIST OF YOUR OWN CREATION” 

VISION STATEMENT
Creating a safe space for the exchange of ideas and resources for all people under the trans-umbrella and those exploring gender identity.

MISSION STATEMENT
Through the development of on-line resources and social programming, trans-people and those exploring gender identity will come together to discuss and learn of similarities and the differences; bonds will form; barriers where more work is needed will be realized and through understanding ourselves we will unite and respect one another.

Q:Hi! I see you are based in MA. I am too. I am curious if you know of binders that might work for a more femme gender expression, something strapless or low cut in the front and/or back?

We do actually have one item that may be close to what you’re describing - please email us at info@tranz-forms.com with your inquiry so that we can respond to you directly. I’m looking into the stock we have of the item I’m thinking of - it has sleeves to just above the elbow and a deeper cut neckline, still a full length shirt to the waist. We hope to offer tri-tops and strapless bands in the future as well.

Q:Does Trans forms offer any interships?

Anonymous

Not at this time, but we may need some help down the line! Keep checking back, and contact us at info@tranz-forms.com with resume and interest letter any time. We’ll keep any applications on file.

omg colors plz

I have been scouring the internet for binders that come in a variety of colors. Please, please, please make this happen. I want my top undergarments to match my neon boxers. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. I NEED YOU!

Q:I'd be happy to help do a prototype deal with you. I'm a D/DD, which might be a useful size to have in your fitting, too. I'd also be willing to just send some paypay funds in advance if you need help covering startup costs. I think this project is awesome.

Hey - We just got a shipment of fabric in and I’m now running patch testing with the various dyes. I have seen a few prototypes but they have not been made in a variety of sizes as of yet. As soon as I see some more constructed, I’ll begin trying to find people that can give feedback. We also may be able to do custom fit requests with supplieid measurements. We totally appreciate the support! I also think this project is awesome. Keep watching - the websites are officially in progress!

T.R.A.N.S.

Hi there!

This is just a quick plug about my new resources site for everyone who falls under the great big trans* umbrella.  I’m compiling a central hub of info about all things related to the lives of trans* people, including genderqueer, intersex, and non-normative gendered peoples.  

T.R.A.N.S. relies on users to help build this site into the largest online collection of resources for people who identify outside the normative patterns of gender.  If you know of something not listed, please be sure to send in some info!

Stop by, take a look around, and let me know what you think!  Be sure to read about the site on the “About T.R.A.N.S.” page!
