advise for a first binder

[beyondlabels]

I have not very big breasts, a small B, and as it will be the first time I prefer comfort over binding effect. Mostly I don't want pressure on my stomach.
Any one can suggest some binder that binds as good as possible being reasonably comfortable?  I say "reasonably" because I assume one has to sacrifice comfort to look flat.
Any other advises for beginers are welcome.
Thank you!

The tri-top from Underworks is what I use. I'm unsure of the model number but that's easily accessible on their website.... anyway it puts no pressure on your stomach due to the length, and I can't complain about the binding effect. It's one of their 2 most popular models; gets consistently good reviews. Can't go wrong.

There's the 988 compression shirt from Underworks which is a full length singlet but only compresses your chest, which by the sounds of it might work well for what you're looking for. You can find it here: http://www.underworks.com/988.html

Also, as Gifted Universal said, the Tri-Top would work well for you too.

Perhaps you should even have a browse of the binders on Underworks to get an idea on what else they have that you might like.

The tri-top is undoubtedly the most popular.  I've worn it for year and a half.  It works pretty good but it does get tiring to wear after a little while.  The strain on the shoulders and across the chest keeps it flat but after awhile I just want to take the damn thing off.

I recently bought this http://coppercreekcandles.homestead.com/Binders.html and it find it much more comfortable.  I can wear it all day and almost forget about it.  It's amazing like that.  It doesn't get me as flat but as I'm pretty small to begin with that's not a problem.  I'll still wear the tri-top with anything clingy but for day to day I like the sleeveless binder.

Small, Tri-top.
Best thing I ever brought myself.

Total confidence booster

Could you send me a link of that "tri-top" I must be a bit clumpsy today but I can't find it.
And thank you very much!!

doesn't it roll up on the stomach? Why do you think it is better than others, like the 988, that are longer and you can put under your pants?

For me, it only rolls up when I slouch forward. So keep your back straight, walk proud and it shouldn't roll up. Personally I didn't want any of that putting it in my pants thing. I wear my pants very low, and not going to lie I don't mind my underwear showing. Also I didn't want my stomach covered, it's hot and wanted a binder that covered the minimum. And I find it easier to breath this way. But it's all about your personal preference.

All I know is that I wouldn't go with another binder, this one is just perfect for me, and binds amazingly.

[beyondlabels]

I understand.
And has anyone tried the 1500 from T-kingdom? It looks very good and loose in the stomach.

I'm pretty sure the tri-top doesn't, but the double compression shirt does.
In order to make sure you are properly fitted for your binder you need to do two measurements on your chest though.
This is especially important if you are skinny, because before I started testosterone, my chest was a lot more dense and the measurement of my chest would've entailed that I order a medium binder.
However, when measuring underneath my chest and averaging the two measurements, I actually needed an extra small.
I personally have the 988 and many trans-guys rave about that binder being good too is why.
I had a binder that didn't cover my entire upper body before the 988 and I didn't really how it felt, so I figured I'd try it.
The 988 rolls up a lot; I think it compresses well, but I'm curious to see if anything compresses better.
I will probably stick to an Underworks binder regardless since I haven't seen anything better even when extensively browsing multiple FTM blogs and forums.
I also feel that the binder tends to fall down on me when I perform certain activities which leaves me constantly adjusting it.

I thought the short binders were the ones that roll up! that's one of the reasons why I wanted to get a long one.  The other one is not feeling that I am wearing a bra. So, wich ones roll up more, the short ones or the long ones?
I've been researching a lot and I have heard very bad reviews of underworks, THey say they are uncomfortable and they itch.
Double T have to be very good but their price is absolutely crazy!

I've been using it for about 2 years and it has never rolled up once. I don't know how that could happen.

I have heard reviews of the longer ones rolling up and people advise you to then tuck it into your pants. Obviously, that cannot be done with the half-length ones so I know for sure the reviews were talking about the long ones.

I can't speak from experience on the tri-top as I've never used it. I use the double front compression shirt which is a full length singlet style binder, and I tuck that into my jeans and it never really gets uncomfortable.
