Desperately Seeking Binding Tips for Summer

Yo, I’m Genderfluid ftm, and desperately want to bind, especially with summer coming, which means less layers of clothing. What would you all suggest? I’m not allowed to get a binder, and don’t have access to transportation nor access to my own money. I want to be able to bind safely this summer, but I feel like if it comes down to it I might use gauze wrap or something. Suggestions?

I had a pretty small chest so this definitely won’t work for everyone but I used to layer 2 of those not-quite sports bras (idk it was just a different material) and put an undershirt over top to smooth it out and then whatever shirt/etc over that I did this while in Disney World in August and was fine

Someone with bigger chest here - sports bras were my first binders. Looking for Nike brand at the thrift store worked well, or any brand that has that less-porus stretchy material. Be careful with double-layering. I've gotten stuck many times. Also highly recommend button ups with heavier material! Corduroy and flannel are great. Not super summer friendly, but having that on while inside is a great confidence booster!
