Any other websites for binders? Or which lesloveboat binder works best?

I need a new binder this Christmas. I first ordered leslovesboat's O-Neck in a size 2XL (108-115cm) and it was a really good binder...except that I was not flat. I always had to wear clothes that made me look like a child. But hey it was comfortable. Then I ordered lesloveboat's Jersey's Mesh's velcro short binder in 2XL (108-115cm) and it's HORRIBLE. The velcro keeps irritating my skin, and because it's short it keeps lifting up to make the problem even WORSE. When it's down and laying it's alright, but I'm not as flat as I know I can be. So is there another website that I can order from? I despise underworks. (I've ordered binders from there and to say the least it did not work out), and I don't really mind the cost right now I just want a binder that actually WORKS. I'm debating on getting the High performance velcro long binder but the size 3XL (103-107cm) is smaller than what I usually get...

I don't like the velcro on these. They are really irritating. I liked the Loveboat Air Max. I actually prefer pull over. I actually preferred pull over (past tense due to top surgery). Sending back isn't' much of an option. Obviously it can be done but the mailing is rather on the pricey side.

I've ordered two binders from a new company called GC2B compressions. I haven't received them yet (only ordered them recently and they have to be shipped to me from the usa so nothing to worry about). I've only heard good things about them,  plus their binders are designed specifically with trans men in mind
They/them pronouns preferred.

These are nice, but mroe in the compression shirt range, not so much binders, unless they are making something new now. They aren't a new company, but more common for men with gynecomastia maybe. I've reviewed here and on my youtube channel.

They have a new side company making binders for trans men now.

I like the Sports Pullover from loveboat, it's one of the most comfortable binders I've ever used (that's not saying much!) and works well for me, but I can't imagine it working brilliantly if you have a chest larger than a B or a C.

I wouldn't recommend velcro binders. I find them uncomfortable and hard to position correctly and I always ended up with a uni-boob. The only benefit is that they're easy to take off.

Have you considered Underworks? Their prices are very reasonable and ship from the USA (which may be more convenient/cheaper for you, not sure where you live). I've used their Tri-top binder for years and it's brilliant. Not hugely comfortable but I preferred it to the velcro binders that I've tried.  Used to get me very flat and easy to conceal under clothing.

I've been wearing the Air M velcro's from Loveboat for years now and I will 'till surgery. They work great, are easy to get on (and off) and when I come home at the end of the day I usually pull it loose while keeping it on. (in an attempt to minimize binding time)

But it's definately true that Loveboat isn't for the bigger chested.

Looks very nice, yes, those are new products. I think the US made thing too. (Note: more of a comment on making things in sweat shops in China and Vietnam, btw.)

The short one reminds me of the Frog Bra from Title IV.  Which is back in production, by the way.  Too late for me, but glad to hear it is back around!  They actually sent me an email about it being back.  Maybe they kept a list of the people who were bummed to see it go many moons ago.  ha
