Any reviews on Esha's line of binders available?

In particular I'm looking at their Silent Velcro Supreme line (http://www.esha-taipei.net/en/?gallery-37-grid.html), many of which are rated 6 for binding and 6 for comfort. Almost too good to be true ... I have seen a few positive reviews of their other products floating around, esp. the one that was sold on LLB a while back, but in general there just isn't much out there even though they seem to have a good selection and pretty good quality as well.

Barring that, any suggestions for a 28D-sized chest? (I'm pretty slim, 5'6", 115-120 lbs, 27-28 inches under, 31-32 across.) I guess that also translates to 30C or 32B, but I'm not entirely certain how bra sizes work. I just know that 36B is too big for me, so logically, I'd be somewhere around 32-34B. Dunno if that's even "small" or "mid-sized" B-cup or if I really do count as D-cup (albeit thin). :/

I've been binding with a sports bra, and that works fine for loose-fitting t-shirts, but I'm tired of hunching over. Thanks for suggestions or reviews!

Yeah well except for the hot pink and so on (what's that about?!) they look suspiciously like the stuff from LesLoveBoat. They have a good reputation re: shipping, customer relations, and product quality. That said, I have had trouble figuring out the danged sizes. I wouldn't say they are so amazingly comfortable that they are like wearing nothing but air and so on. Just saying.
I'd recommend them to someone with a smaller chest. And I'd recommend them over this other site as who knows. They also appear to be Asian. BTW, the shipping on these things is pretty high.

This person does a review of them here: binder review - Love Boat
She does not identify as ftm but has severe chest dysphoria.

If you want,  there are formulas or directions re: figuring out re: cup size. Just google this. Thin people are generally smaller. (I did feel kind of uncomfortable looking at one with pictures.)

Yeah, a lot of their products are similar to LLB except that they have more colors and they're cheaper, which is why I'm specifically looking at Esha over LLB (but LLB is my second choice atm); some of Esha's similar products are ~$20 cheaper than LLB's, and being able to save some cash would be great.

They're both based in Taipei so shipping will be the same regardless of whether I order from them or LLB. LLB used to stock one of Esha's products (a short velcro binder, I believe), and I remember it receiving a flurry of very positive reviews, which is another reason why I'm taking a look at Esha.

You might try googling it to see if there are reviews re: this as a company. I suppose that's what you were trying to do here. I think that if they take paypal it would be good. IF you have problems I think dealing with them would be easier.
