Is there any binder or even sports bra out there that doesn't give you a uni-moob?

Hmm... there is one that gives me LESS of a uni-moob... it's actually the swimming one from Underworks. The reason I imagine it does that is because it has a zipper down the middle, thus creating a "separator" in the middle.... I just have to re-adjust a few times every now and then to push the damn things aside, since after some activity they tend to move around and come back to the middle thus creating more of a uni-moob look... I imagine anything with a zipper down the middle would have a similar effect. Maybe you could get a size smaller if you're worried about it not binding well enough or something. That's just my experience, not sure if others have had similar/different experiences.

Hmm ... yeah I've thought about something with something in the middle (zipper, gathering, whatever) but they I thought it would just accentuate the two problems. Guess I'll have to do more experimenting. It sucks though cause now I've blown about $100 on stuff and nothing seems to really do the job. I'm not even as cursed as some other guys in the size department.

Well, for me, it really works. If you haven't tried anything with a zipper, I suggest you give it a shot. To me, it ends up looking like I'm flat chested but flatter in the middle, i.e. the way it ought to be. If I wear an overly-tight shirt, then it doesn't look flat-enough to me, but otherwise, it's perfectly fine. Good luck!

I think I might try this one: http://www.lesloveboat.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=81&products_id=106

Since I'm never having surgery I might as well throw another $57 at this and see if I can get something that works!

Hmm... haven't tried it, but the three stars for flatness seems like it might not bind well enough.

They have this one: http://www.lesloveboat.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=81&products_id=103

I'd think since that has a 4 star flatness rating, and it's the same price as the other one, that might be better.

The swim one also seems good (http://www.lesloveboat.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=93&products_id=266), but since you can't get the top/bottom separately, it costs over a hundred dollars.

The one I have is the swim one from Underworks - it's $45 for just the top. That one works fine for me.

Oh, and how come you're never having surgery? Personal choice, or is there some issue stopping you? Personally, I don't know that I'll ever get surgery because I don't know if I'll ever really come out to my family. It feels selfish to transition, since I know it would be really hard on them...but who knows what life will bring.

In any event, good luck binding, and perhaps one day getting surgery, too.

Yeah I might get one of those. Have to decide on the size. I have the velcro one of theirs now and it seems too tight to me. But I'm not sure of the medium will be too big.

The no surgery thing is a personal choice.

It also depends on how you "adjust yourself" after you've put it on.
I would reach in through the arm or neck holes and tug the chesticles "up and out".
made it less uni-boob-y.
