And some other questions i have.

How to wash it? It is ok if i throw it in the washing machine with the other clothes*i don't think it would be *gentle* or hand wash it?

Does it takes a lot of time to air dry? should i get more than one?.

If i do get more than one,the second will be sport bra type.

My mom does the laundry*I help her* but should i wash it myself or will she be able to notice its a bimder?

I do joke and she does to that i should get something because i bump into things a lot and i did mention something like a binder.

Can i jog with a binder on? Don't worry i am putting comfort over anything else.

How does it actually feel?.

Well. Thats all. Thanks!!

My husband had many types and shapes over the years and he suggests to anyone is the underworks. They are more like real undershirts and work as well if not better then the others he used in the past.

Well Kei, to answer your questions: I have a Loveboat Air Max in the long pullover. It's a very nice binder as they go.
I think Loveboats are pretty comfortable for binders, but I don't know if their sizing is normal. I thought the one that was my size didn't really fit me. Hopefully other people will answer as I am on the autism spectrum. I think Loveboats are good for your size chest, as I would say C or smaller.

I put them in the washer with everything else and then air dry. They air dry overnight. Actually in the early summer they dried faster than that, somewhat like a swimsuit.  I do live in the desert, but I think they would pretty much do this with what they are made of (lyrca and that kind of thing). I put them in a lingerie bag  (less than $2). The reason for this, is that I see it right away and I don't dry it.

They look like a regular shirt. I dated someone who has dated trans guys before and she said, "I don't see your binder" as she always sees guys binders, and I said she was looking right at it. I wear a button down shirt, not all the way buttoned up so you can actually everyone sees the binder. They just don't know that it's not a tank or something.

I wear mine to exercise if I am around others. Though I should say mine is larger than most people would like their binders to be. I also wore it like 12 hours a few times. I had no pain, no aching, anywhere at all. It isn't recommended, but I was in a situation where I was around other people that many hours.

I really recommend them. I don't know re: that style per se. Someone mentioned underworks. These are very good binders at better prices, but they don't have the reputation to be as comfortable. Though they tend to fit more body sizes. Your size if fine for loveboat. And I think they are worth the money.

How they feel? The most problem I have is the heat. Since I have the chesticles now it kind of feels secure to not have them in hte way.

I have 3. I could get away with 2 really. And really you could get one, but you'd have to wash it more. I sort of cycle them.

Yeah,thats the reason for me to get more than one. Here can get pretty hot too but i am kind of accustomed to the heat

Underworks is an awesome brand but i have head that they have many downs ins the comfort zones. Since i have almost no chest it will flatted good i think.

The Air Max with the mesh back helps a bit with heat. Though tbh, not that much. Binders are still hot to wear. I think it would be much hotter without the mesh back. I think the comfort of the Loveboat is more. Of course you pay for them too. You are probably a good candidate for them. YOu might want to read other people on what size to get. I'd say if you are on the line to go one size up, but you really want to see other people's comments on this. MY sensory problems might be as bad as my gender dysphoria.

Underworks is an easier company to deal with as you are ordering within the US. I tried to change an order from LLB and ended up getting an answer after the thing had mailed. I imagine they had to look around to find someone to translate for them.
