FTM Pumps for Dysphoria Relief

Gender dysphoria is a difficult and emotional condition for many queer, trans, f2m ftm or nonbinary folks. For a lot of transmasculine and transgender individuals, identifying appropriate tools to affirm gender identity and feel more at ease in their bodies is crucial to self-care. Dysphoria will have you completely out of touch with your body, but the tea is that you don’t have to linger in the discomfort forever. FTM pumps (transmasc pumps, essentially) are available to assist transmasc and other individuals in being in sync with their gender identity while getting a bit more comfortable in their bodies. One of the tools that can play a part in dysphoria relief is an FTM (female-to-male) pump. FTM pumps are not only useful in the development of the bottom growth, but they also play a role in aligning one’s gender sense. In this article, we’ll discuss how FTM pumps can bring dysphoria relief, their psychological effects, and how to use them in your self-care routine.
