So I have a tri top and I love how flat it gets me, but from the beginning I HATED that it looked like a bra. But all the raging reviews of flatness got the best of me. It was fine for a couple of months and I loved the flatness, but last week me and my friend were rough housing and when he touched it he said "woah! Are ypu wearing a bra?!!" Embarrased I made up a quick lie that it was a ribcage brace and he mostly bought it. But now im so jumpy that I dont wanna wrestle or anything out of fear someone will ask me what it is. Ive been asked before what my 997 was because a girl felt the rough material under my shirt but I just said it was an underarmor like tanktop. But I cant say that with my tri top cuz itS SHAPED LIKE A BRA. So my question is, are there any binders that are like the tri top but have a piece that goes all the way down like a tank top? Is there anyone who has this problem and did you find someway to conceal the tri top? Thanks

yeah! Underworks sells the 988 which is the same thing as the tri top, but just cloth covers the torso. It doesn't bind there. It's good if you don't like the bra-ish shape.

I had the same issue - no one ever asked me about it, but I know they felt it and wondered.  I just avoided contact honestly until I had my top surgery.

I agree with going for the longer tank-top model.  The only drawback to that one (I've heard) is that it can roll up quite a lot and be annoying.
