advice on taping very saggy chest?

Advice Needed

warning, I mention weight loss/ed and loose skin

Hi, I'm going swimming later tonight and I dont want to use my binder, I've tried taping before but struggled with getting it to sit right and I ended up with blisters and a big scar on my chest.

I struggled with an ed from a very young age and gained a bunch of weight (like class 3 obesity) then over about two years i lost over a third of my weight. Obviously not in a healthy way but its been about a year since I considered myself recovered and I've been good since then

That whole thing though has left me with loose skin, not enough to qualify for any surgery to help, but enough to cause slight discomfort and to make binding with tape feel evil and impossible 😭

before t + at a higher weight I had HUUUGE boobs, like bigger than my head huge, and so they were already pretty heavy and Low, but the very fast weight loss/gain made them sag more, and then T has deflated them, they kind of look/act like water balloons but with a bit of lumpy tissue in the bottom, as if its not actually attached to the skin. Like.. with the skin up top I can pretty much do the window pane test that bakers do on bread dough to test if its kneaded enough 😭😭

this makes taping hard because i can tape the skin normally, but then I'll stand up and its like the tissue inside is not affected by the tape at all 😭 it just looks like im wearing a really supportive sports bra kind of..

I have very wide tape and I can cut it if its too wide, but apart from that I dont really know how to do it better, as most tutorials are for smaller chests and people with fuller chests, I've never seen one with as much loose skin as mine πŸ˜…

does anyone struggle with this and have advice? Thank youuuu!!
