Keeping things hidden from family is also a pain point, I’ve kept binders hidden from them in the past but I’m wondering with tape if it’ll be ok to apply it on a Sunday evening and take it off midday on a Thursday, also what are everyone’s recommended ways for taking off tape?

i would say tape - wearing a binder in hot weather is genuinely hellish. i can usually leave tape on for like a week, maybe a week and a half. i don’t do the whole oil removal thing, i just get in the shower and go very slowly (would probably go better with the oil i just don’t want to have to buy it)

i definitely recommend tape but also get one binder-type thing for if you ever run out or for a break day for your skin (i got an lgbtunicorn swim binder off amazon for like $15 tha works for me but i've also seen not great reviews. it's easy to take breaks cause it's a zipper, it's generally affirming swimwear, and it's breathable for summer)
