Lesloveboat.com?

[Epicene]

I got my first binder about a year ago, a friend ordered it for me and it is very nice.
However it is wearing out and I need a new one, and my friend doesn't remember what website he ordered the first one from.
So my question is, can anyone give me a review of the binding products from lesloveboat.com?
I'm considering purchasing a zip-front binder

Has anyone else bought this?
Is the company reliable?

I can't tell you much about their binders, but that is definitely a reliable company. Since they're in Asia depending on your location, sometimes ther shipping is slow, but that's not their fault. I know there's lots of guys who have ordered things from them.

I know there's one poster here who has had problems with the company but many of us have had great success with them. Their shipping is really slow and they size way small. Go up a size (or two) from what you think you would wear.

I have several of their binders and wear them a lot. I was very disappointed in the zipper one though. It seemed like a great idea but it broke after a very short time. Actually, looking at that picture, that isn't quite the same zipper binder I got. I also found it triggering to put on. Because it zips in front you are sort of forced to push and focus on your man-boobs and that was hard for me.

I order from them twice a year. I can't tell you about the zipper ones, but I do have the pullover one from that picture. I also like the velcro ones.

I like their binders because they are made from different material than nylon (lycra, cotton, mesh). That means you have some more room to breath in it, and don't have the chaving issues. And it is cooler.

Make sure you check out the size chart. All their brands fit differently.

When I order it takes about 3 days to process it, then they ship it out to me in Europe (which takes about 7 days to arrive).
If it doesn't fit or isn't right sized you can send it back for an exchange to them. (I never did but you can).

I believe they are reliable as well. I ordered about 4 times from them. The problem with them, is that since you are dealing with a overseas company (and not talking Europe here) you should not try rush orders or expect that they can get back with you in email. They will eventually, but it's like they are going around trying to find an English speaker.

Their binders are excellent, if on the pricey side. I would also suggest to only get if you are on the small or medium size. I wouldn't recommend them for over a C cup. (Might be some exceptions with certain of their binders.)

I had the pull over AirMax long. Very nice binder. I have a review somewhere on youtube, which you could probably find.

I have one of the Velcro binders from there. As far as binding goes, it is a lot more comfortable than the ones I have from underworks. It almost just feels like a sports bra. I have a DD sized chest and it actually binds it quite well. The one from that site doesn't get me as flat as my 997 though.

Their customer service left something to be desired though. They mailed my package two weeks after I ordered it with express shipping and then flat out refused to refund the extra $20 I paid for faster shipping. That being said, I know other guys here have had better experiences. I just can't say that I would ever order from there again.

[aleon515]

I think when you order from Asia (Africa, South America, the Middle East, etc), you have to take into consideration that they are not necessarily going to have all the perks with customer service. They may not have anybody that even understands your emails. I definitely ordered from them multiple times. But I did have one time where I made a mistake on my order. I tried emailing them and got a response, but it was after they had already mailed it. I wouldn't have a reason to order from them again. But you should check and recheck your order and not do expedited delivery and so on.

I am surprised they'd be able to fit someone with DD. But I have heard sometimes they have worked in this situation.

All I am worried about is that the funnel might be too small, or rather, have the wrong shape -
it looks as though with some downstairs growth, one might actually clog the funnel.

[aleon515]

Sounds like an STP review, and not loveboat. (I know they do have a few packers, but not too many afaik.)

I ordered from the company twice in middle December... I have about 100 dollars in this company now, and neither binder I ordered has come... I'm a little concern, and glad I didn't pay for fast shipping (like the other unfortunate fellow who did and didn't get his money's back)

[aleon515]

I'd email. i never had a problem with them. But sometimes they were a little slow. Yes, not a good idea to do fast shipping. You wouldn't get it.

I've ordered three binders from them now, all short high performance velcro, and have always been satisfied. They're amazing for the hot summers of Texas. I don't think any other binders out there can match up to their comfort. Expensive, maybe, but they definitely last for your money's worth. I haven't had any problems with shipping, it's about what you would expect from international shipping.

[ridleysw]

I ordered a full-length pull-over binder from them about a week ago, so I am still anxiously awaiting its arrival!  I will post my review on it as soon as it gets to me!

[aleon515]

Yeah I agree. I live in NM, I think they were much better than other binders. Worth the wait, and cost, in my case. But I was able to pay for them.

Update: Still haven't received either binder.  Ordered one from AliExpress, almost exactly the same, for about $14, already came, been wearing it for about a month and I love it.  My mother (I'm under aged) contacted lesloveboat around when I started this thread, but still hasn't received a reply of any kind. I just don't know.

[aleon515]

That's very unusual. Yes, I'd email the company with the order no. and date. I've never had an issue, but there could have been some problem such as being out of stock or something.

Also you should look in your SPAM folder in email. The name is sufficiently weird that they may have contacted you and the email would end up in the spam folder. This happened to me a few times.

I just realized I never updated on this thread (although I wrote up a complete review in a new post)!  I received the first binder (http://www.lesloveboat.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=83&products_id=368) from LesLoveBoat.com and am in love.  Ordered a second a couple weeks later (http://www.lesloveboat.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=367), and am similarly in love!  Definitely expect a month(ish) time between ordering and receiving the binder, and follow their sizing chart (in general, you should order two sizes larger than you usually would!).  Well worth the extra cost and time, in my opinion.  First binders I can breathe in!  For reference, I am 38 DDD, 5'3 and 218 pounds.

[aleon515]

It varied for me, with some taking a month or so and others coming in about two weeks. I agree re: sizing. They are tough, given we aren't used to that sizing. Really did like them and they are worth the money, if you can afford them.

Now my Aliexpress's plastic zipper has given up the ghost, and won't stay shut.
In the hopes my lesloveboat binders ever reach me, have those with experience done much singing in them? I have two chorus blocks in my day and I think that's maybe what's putting extra strain on them.

I have purchased a binder from lesloveboat before and the quality was not good. I got the one with a velcro on the side and it starts to fray after a few washes
