Underworks binder w/o armpit fat factor?

[conformer]

I'm looking for another binder because the lesloveboat ones I have have a sports bra design on the back that you can see through shirts. That makes me uncomfortable as you can see it through all of my school shirts.

Preferably from underworks because I know they just have a tanktop like design vs the sports bra. However, this is what I need from it:

*Doesn't give that weird armpit fat thing - (my old tritop does that and it's gross lol)

*I don't need the super 3 layers of compression - (I don't have much to bind down)

Does underworks have anything like this?

*edit
I see the 997, does this give the armpit fat? http://underworks.com/ftm/

There's the 997, the double-front compression shirt. That's the one I had. It only has two layers of compression material, and I could breathe just fine in it. However, it's really long. If you needed the extra compression you could fold it up so you'd have four layers over your chest, but it doesn't seem like you need that. (I seem to remember it helping with armpit fat a little, though.) After I had top surgery I cut my 997 up a little as an experiment, and it doesn't seem to fray too much. If you're careful with it and wash it by hand, I think you could get away with cutting it to tri-top length. Maybe hem it if you're handy with a sewing machine or needle and thread.

As for armpit fat, do you push up and out or down and out? Down and out gave me less armpit fat, but it was still there, just from the 'out' factor. I think if you're a certain size, armpit fat just comes with the territory. After all, it has to go somewhere.

Armpit fat aka batwings even MtF's have this problem, you're not alone kid! Cain knows the ropes for FtM's and probably offers good advice. I never had it before estrogen and now have to deal with it differently.

Cool cool, that's the one I was looking at. Being long is a plus too as I'd like some pressure on my stomach. Also, I push down and out, but from what I'm reading the armpit thing is gonna be there regardless like you said =[.

Thank you for the help, I'm going to just order the 997!

'Armpit fat' actually comes from poorly fitting bras, which push the breast tissue around everywhere and deform the boobs. Considering how well over 99% (not 80% like often quoted) of bra-wearers wear poorly fitting bras, it's pretty damn common. A binder is the ultimate in poorly-fitting bras, essentially...so 'armpit fat' is something CAFAB trans people just have to deal wth, unfortunately.

I got it today and just put it on. It bind me flat, a little bit tight, but I'll break it in. It does give the fat thing, but not a whole bunch if you pull it up from the back. However, Stealthy is right and it seems that some fat is just inevitable with underworks binders, but it's not nearly as bad as the tritop so it's okay.

I like that it's long and has some bind on the torso as well.

All in all, well worth it. I like not having to layer in order to hide a sports bra outline. I can just throw a tshirt on over this.

*ps it smells like play-dough lol*
