Has anyone tried one of these? http://www.peecockproducts.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=5

Kinda looks like the same as Loveboat but way cheaper.

Yeah, I have that one in black.  I won't wear it, basically.  I only have the Underworks tri-top's to compare it to, I've not tried the Loveboat ones, but the Peecock one hurts me and I thought the cut was pretty feminine looking.  I wrote a full review of that binder and the camouflage tank binder here, if you're interested: https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,99314.0.html

Oh der I don't know how I missed that before. Thanks!

Does the underworks make a velcro one? I have a hell of a time getting the pull over ones on and off. The only underworks one I bought didn't do anything but it seemed like it was just a single layer of really flimsy spandex.

They make the 997 with hook and eye closures.

Yeah, other than the 997 with hook and eyes, I think all the Underworks binders are the pullover type. :/  A lot of people find them hard to put on actually, but I think some people step into them instead of pulling them over their head?  Probably not feasible if you've got wide hips though.

I've always put them on like a normal shirt, but it helps to keep a firm grasp on them bottom hem on both sides near the seams while pulling, if it rolls up, you're kind of stuck.  Also, skin being damp makes it much, much harder.  Last week, my left forearm muscles were crushed from a bad dog bite at work and I couldn't use my hand at all, yet still had to work, so getting my binder on with one arm took a lot longer than normal and was quite frustrating.

I do hear that the Loveboat binders are great, especially if you're a C/B cup or smaller, but I can't justify the cost when the tri-top works so well for me.  Maybe someone is selling used ones?  Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Yea. I step into my binders okay. I've only ever used underworks, my brother swears by them. I considered getting the peecock one, when I bought my packer, but actually, underworks tri-top is cheaper.
I have a black tri-top (my first one given to me by my bro), 3 white tri-tops, a black and a white double-panel, and a white compression suit. All of which I can step into. It's a little hard around the hips, but it hurts less than trying and failing to put them on over your head. Any long term stretching can be fixed by throwing it in the wash for one round with hot water instead of cold (it shrinks them, which is bad for everyday wear as it makes it hard to breath, but good every once in a while after they start to stretch, makes them like new). The compression suit actually HAS to be stepped into.
I also have one of their hidden compression tanks, the neck is too small to step into, so that one I have to put on over my head. But it's easier because the fabric around the compression fabric makes it not roll up.
I wouldn't know anything about Loveboat, so sorry there.

I found a way to put the 997 over my head without getting stuck. The binder flipped inside out goes on by putting my arms through the arm holes until my hands are at the bottom of the shirt. I then put my head in and sorta spread my arms out so it just flips over and goes back down on my body.

Thanks guys. I'll have to do some more research on it. It sucks there's no place you can go to actually try these on ... and they're all expensive so you just have to buy it and then try it.
