Binders for Larger Chests

[Shang]

(38 [measured] DD, 5'10", ~200 lbs, natural medium build)

I've checked out Love Boat, T-Kingdom (which doesn't even have my height listed on their sizing chart), and Underworks.  Love Boat, from what I've read on here, can have goofy sizes and I (according to their chart, would be a XL to XXL [ugh]) so I'm hesitant to buy from them because I don't know how well it would fit (nor does the one I want come in the size I should probably get).

So, for those on here who are bigger in chest, what binder did you choose and do you have any suggestions?

I have roughly the same chest size as you, and I'm a fat bastard ;_;. I use the Underworks 997, and it works great for me. I look less fat, and more importantly my chest looks flat :'D! I think part of what helps me is that underneath I wear one of those tight compression shirts, like the ones that cyclists wear. It compresses me a bit and works awesome as a rashguard.

Thank you!  I'll have to look into it.  I'm irritated with looking at binders because I can never seem to find one.

Boyfriend is on the larger chested side, wears Underworks Tritops and they work great for him. Just be true to the Underworks measuring and sizing and (according to our experience) it should be okay.

LLB might give you problems...I know they don't usually have an elastic band to keep your chest within the binding area. I have a t-kingdom binder and think they're not very good (I started off with about a 36F). I use the underworks 997 because it's the only binder that's strong and has full length binding.

I went with T-kingdom's 801 model in XL; it's done wonders for me. Good luck!

Thanks for the help, y'all.    I plan on getting a binder in the next couple of weeks so this is helpful.

LesLoveBoat sizing isn't actually that messed up-it's mostly just people assuming that LesLoveBoat sizing is calculated the same way as Underworks sizing that's the problem.

I definitely would NOT recommend T-Kingdom, though-they're made for smaller people with smaller chests.

You're probably outside of sohoeva's size range, too, but you might want to ask them about that-they have pretty good customer service, and because they rarely list the size ranges for their binders on their site (the site's really quite bare-bones, and there was a bit of worry early on that it might not have been legit, but there's some legit reviews now), it's probably your best bet to ask about them.

Underworks is probably your best bet.

I'm NOT going to suggest T-Kingdom. I'm DD (5'8, 180 or so pounds), and I literally split the seams on my T-Kingdom binder. I got the 997 Underworks. I really like it because it's long so I can double it back over my chest if I need to (and I like to do that, I feel like it makes my chest flatter). I'm just about to order my second one, so I definitely like that one a lot.
