I looked at several items from Underworks also, as well as an internet place called TitleIX, (carrying heavy duty compression bras for athletic women), but frankly I found them both pretty spendy.
I'm sure they both work well - the TitleIX stuff was highly recommended by another transeman I know locally, and from your pics, it's obvious that the Tri-Top from Underworks work really well too - looking good, man!
But frankly, I settled on buying a couple of 6" elastic binders, also from the Underworks, that are working real well for me so far. I was a saggy C cup, about 36", and they work just fine to hold everything in. The price is also right! ($9.99 US)
Regardless of product, I understand totally what you're saying about the incredible feeling of freedom though! I still get rather turned on looking down at a tee-shirt and finally seeing a flat chest. And I find the subtle feeling of 'binding' is rather nice,
much better then the feeling of things swaying and bouncing - yuck! And bras were the worse - neither the freedom of going without anything, OR the security of things being properly 'in their place'.
Another reason I rejected the recommended Title IX product was because frankly, it's still a bra! My friend likes them, but I didn't want to pay $32 US for something that still felt and looked like a damn bra. At least the Tri-Top binder *is* an undershirt! Here's the URL for the simple "trimming belt" - it's meant for the stomach, but the 6" works fine for me. Large chests might want the 9"

I like the first one.
What binder did you get?
I got two I got the Tri Top Binder from Underworks which is sort of like a sports bra it does conceal however from the side it you can still see slight bluges. I also got the double fount Compression shirt, Which I find much better because it holds EVERYTHING in and is much more comfortable to wear than the tri top. These both where from Underworks and they were shipped to me in about 7 days to the UK which is bloody fast! Both great purchases!
