Re:Binders & Mangos Help!

[Jay]

Hi Guys, I am new to this forum stuff so please bear with me.
I am having trouble trying to find which sort of Mango I need??? Can anyone recommened one for me please? I want one with a harness of course and I was wondering if they are hard to use of take alot of time to get used to??

I am also looking for a binder aswell, I have found two sites one;

http://www.samiscloset.com

&

http://www.t-kingdom.com

however I am unsure which one to trust. Has anyone ever used these sites?

I am also a bit unsure of which type of binder I should buy. I have 38C things on my chest  That I basically want to get rid of as soon as poss so the binder is a brillant idea.

I have been searching for a binder for about 6 years now however I was never sure of what they where actually called hence why I am only getting one now. I also recently watched the L word season 3 where Moria had a mango and I was all like ooooooooooooooooo I need one....


If anyone could help me that would be fantastic!

Thanks

From reading previous posts I see that the Man-go is very hard to use. However I have noticed people posting about packages???!?  which I dont quite understand what you mean? I would just like to wear something in my pants that would make me feel more hole or even to piss out off which would be a massive bonus!

I have heard that most people get on with the Underworks Tri-Top chest binder. However I have 38" C cup breasts which aren't small and are impossible to hide with bandages.

I was also wondering if the binder pushes the fat the things that sit on my chest into diffrent places??

If someone could get back to me ASAP that would be excellent as I am wanting to by one as soon as possible!

Never used a mango. Apparently they're a bit tricky to get the hang of. I'd go with something easier at first.

As far as binders, I used underworks, and also I used a surgical abdominal binder. You have to figure out what works best for you. For me, it was pushing the lumps out and down, like under my arms.

I have heard that the t-kingdom site sizes are quite small.

Thanks For That Dennis, I just brought two from Underworks. I might try the man-go later on!

currently wondering myself what to get.  There are so many choices.

You put the thing on and then reach up under it and push your fatty tumors apart and downward. It'll crush 'em to your ribs in that position. You'll look flat, at least under a button-down shirt. Or even without, depending. The trouble with binders is there is never a local shop that sells them, and you can never know how well one will work without trying it, 'cause it's not just the size of the breasts, it's how firm they are.

 I was very confused when I started looking at exactly what to get. I ordered mine from Underworks last week and blah well i'll see how that goes. Apparently theyre highly recommended. i got the link from a friend of mine - dunno how long itll take to arrive mind, considering i have to wait for it to come from the US. It seems strange that there is no UK equivalent though... the postage is killer

Seems like most transguys swear by the underworks double-front. I've got one and kinda hate it, 'cause it digs into my flesh under my arms and doesn't really bind that much better than the rugby-bra things I've got. It does bind better, but just not that much so. I really wanna just get top surgery and forget it, but since I don't want to go on T (at least not at this point) I think this is gonna be quite a project.

I recently ordered one of the ridiculously overpriced binders from mango. I think it's actually the same as one of the T-kingdom models, but I cannot get T-kingdom's order-checkout page to work and have found that the T-kingdom staff are not only unhelpful, but unhelpful in Chinese.

[Judge Yourself]

off topic, but doc are you following me ? haha 

' not only unhelpful but unhelpful in chinese ' you kill me

yeah well i havent had much experience, ive bought 'the ultimate chest binder' from underworks on recomendation from a friend who says his works well. have tried the tri top before and it rolled up so much it drove me crazy. i dont think theres enough advice on these kinds of things - i freaked out sort of when i realised how much there was to choose from and that some do smaller sizes and stuff and sadly, im not one of those fortunate enough to be small

that might not be the case im having my surgery and im not on t yet i actually might go on t this week and my surgry is ony a couple of weeks so......you dont need to be on t to have the surgery but you might need  a note from your theropist saying why your not on t or whatever .they just want to make sure you  know you cant undo the surgery and that your sure this is for you.
anyhoo yeh i know off topic. as for BINDERS  i use underworks the double comp. tee and i put a double front sleevless on top its works ok but i dont recomend wearing it 24 hrs .

I swear by the tri top.  Even went swimming in just that an a muscle shirt (shorts of course )

I haven't had any trouble with it rolling up. When I put it on I just reach under and push them to the side and I can wear just a shirt. Much better than the duct tape I used previously :p

Sure no Problem ht... I'll let you know when they arrive

Well I've been wearing sports bra's for about 2 years now so the fatty things are that firm anymore so I hope that it does work.

I just got the mango one. The 'air vent' model.

It binds about as well as the underworks double-front. BUT, I can get it on without a struggle, and it is comfortable and breathes and isn't instantly sweaty. More comfortable, in fact than the various compression sports bras, and looks better too. It's so comfortable that I wonder if a smaller size might bind better and still be wearable. Alas, it doesn't do the dream thing, which would be to allow me to wear it as a tank-shirt and still look flat, but under a shirt it looks perfect. And its shoulders are wide enough apart that it doesn't show under a t-shirt, and it doesn't roll up and annoy the heck out of me.

Only drawback is that the thing is absurdly overpriced, the mango people provide a sizing chart and then tell you to order a size bigger anyway, and also tell you you can't return it if you get the wrong size, a situation that made me want to kick somebody in the teeth.
