I’m about to buy my first chest binder oh-shit

Anything I should know regarding health and safety? I live in a very hot and humid part of the country and am a little nervous that it will make me pass out or will damage my body in some way. Any advice? Will it increase the risk of breast cancer?

    I can’t speak from personal experience, but i see others warn each other about not falling asleep in the thing. Wearing it too long or while you’re exerting yourself can lead to back problems it seems? Wearing it for too long due to the threat of dysphoria setting in again is a problem for some people i know, but i’d count that as a pretty big testament for the good these things can do.
