Binding while active

[Nathan90]

Let's talk a bit about binding while being active.

Right now I'm using binders from a Dutch Tailor (Danae), I got two longer models and one short one. The white long binder being much tighter than the black one. The short one not binding as well as the long one and pressing into my body around where the bra-line would be.

This Summer, me and my boyfriend will be going to Scotland for some proper hiking and wild camping and I'll be needing some new binders for that.

What do you wear when you're being active? Long binders, tri-tops, double sports bras?

I'd rather not wear the long ones, it'll just be warm and sweaty no matter what the weather will be like. Not to mention the rolling up with a heavy pack on my back and trying to make some miles..

My guy is the proud owner of a tritop for some time now and he just wants another one to take with 'm. I'm thinking about it, but not too sure. I was thinking the triple layers might be too tight for heavier breathing and such?

So, yea, any thoughts or words of advice?

Oh yeah triple layers will murder you doing physical stuff like that. The two binders that I have are great for working out compared to my old tri top :

They're really breathable and bind well. I'm probably like a b cup (never measured in my life exactly how big) if it helps.

I've used a variety of binders while working out. Oddly enough, two of them were long.
I did sweat a lot, but I also do a lot of strength training, so that's natural...I also sort  of like how it feels when my body is being challenged.
Lately, I've been using a shoulderless binder from lesloveboat though and it's fine for me at least. I do have problems with it sliding down sometimes, but my chest isn't that big anyway, so if I'm wearing a hoodie and a t-shirt, the average person wouldn't even notice that I had any
"moobs". However, in the gym, this is a problem. I've found if I position it higher up on my chest it does slip down a bit less though.

Oh, and I go to the gym every other day and alternate that with cardio which I do outside on a biking path. I usually bike further down the path each day so I keep challenging mysellf. I usually don't have as much problems with the shoulderless binder slipping down then though.

I had that problem and cutting the bottom seam of worked miracles (In case you like to experiment and want to keep it). It was pretty painful before but now it's really comfy and i mostly wear it for swimming and the odd occasion i do any other sport
(yeah slightly ot but maybe you're interested)

The tritop seems to work well for most things.  The only things I don't use it for are weight lifting and salsa dancing.  In those cases things tend to shift around more, and it ends up working more like a pushup bra.  Instead I use sports bras, but if someone has a better idea I'd appreciate the info.

LesLoveBoat has an AIR M line of binders that were developed for sports.

[Nathan90]

I've actually never looked at the Lesloveboat binders too much, but those mentioned look rather good. And since I'm small chested that would work. I remember reviews that Loveboat works best for smaller chested guys?

(never measured my cup size either but I suppose it's A-ish? hah)

And they're actually not that expensive. I keep forgetting that 50 or 60 dollars sounds a lot but it's a whole different number converted to euros.

Thanks guys.

Oh and Conformer (anyone else using velcro binders), how is that working out for you? The velcro part I mean?

I'd be afraid it would lose strength rather quick and/or it would come loose or anything, how is it holding out?

I've only had it for a month now and before then it was lightly used. But so far it's still working like new and I've worn it 10+ hours almost everyday.

I can compare it to the velcro from T-Kingdom binder I had a couple years ago. The velcro on that started slipping after 3 weeks I swear to you. Maybe I had a bad batch . . but it was awful.

I have the http://www.lesloveboat.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=281 and what's cool about it of course is the velcro so you can adjust it to be comfortable and the back is mesh so it's not as hot on a warm day or when being active.
