Binder Reviews?

[Aiden]

I dono, but update, new binder seems to fit better, stretched out some probably why, but it curls up in the back which drives me nuts, and after a while I get back pain.  I'm thinking I may try the muscle shirt looking one when can afford to get it.

[iFindMeHere]

Bra size: 36b/c
Binder size:medium
Binder model:doublefront compression underworks
Picture of the binder [if possible]:
Location bought: given by another friend who had top surge
Price: uh.
Advantages: look at my user pic. I look like i barely have pex, good match for scrawny shoulders/arms. Good belly reshape
Disadvantages: rolls up from hips at inconvenient moments.
Other comments:

I get a flatter line than a lot of the guys i'm seeing here... what I do is kinda... "fold" the freakbags down and out so the nipples wind up at the bottom-outside corner.

Has anyone worn a normal binder in a chlorinated pool, knows how it worked/didn't work/deteriorated?

Freakbags  Best word yet, used to describe our growths.

Asher, I haven't worn mine in the pool or anything, don't plan on wasting 40 bucks to experiment. Sorry I can't be of more help. Why not buy the swimsuit top instead of potentially ruining your binder?

Seriously, when are you American's gonna switch to the Metric system like the rest of the world? XD

I think the US is the only part of America that uses inches...right?

Swimsuit tops are expensive as heck Nate. I don't got that kinda money.

I think either I eat next month or I buy this swimsuit, so I know where you're coming from on money issues. That's why I'm only buying the top portion not the whole thing.

Guess I'm not eating

Surfing's been a lifelong dream, eating comes and goes haha

Hi guys!  I just got back from a vacation on the East Coast.  I'm sure you've all been counting the minutes until my return, right? 

Well, I'm pleased to say that on my return I discovered a lovely package from T-Kingdom waiting on my doorstep.  So here's my review.

Bra size:D to DD
Binder size:XL
Binder model:1700
Location bought:T-Kingdom
Price:Roughly $80 with shipping
Advantages: Tucks in so it doesn't roll up.  Fairly comfortable.  Tank style is cool and doesn't bind under arms.
Disadvantages:Velcro difficult to fasten.  Velcro hurts when it scrapes across nipples.  Binding is a little ... odd.
Other comments:The binding section of the binder is made out of a wide elastic, similar to the straps you find on many back braces. The rest is made of spandex-like material, which can be tucked into your pants to prevent the binder from rolling up.  Along one side of the binder, from the armpit to about half-way down the rib is a strip of Velcro.  In theory, this enables you to position your unwanted appendages, and then pull the garment tight across the chest.  However, I found it nearly impossible to fasten the Velcro while wearing the binder.  I wound up fastening the Velcro, then pulling the binder on over my head, which resulted in a less than stellar job of binding.  Perhaps if you have a friend to help you fasten the Velcro, you will have better results.  As it was, I found it wanted to push the Girls upward, while compressing the area just underneath (as you can see in the picture below.)  However, with a shirt on, the strangeness of the binding seemed to become less noticeable.  I will experiment with it some more and see if I can get everything to lie down a little better, and update this post if I do.  In the mean time, here are a couple pictures:

Update:  After having worn this thing all day at a fairly active job, I'd like to add that it also chewed the heck out of my sides, leaving welts that were still visible (and sore to the touch) a week later. 

Just the binder:

Under a T-shirt (I put on the same shirt as I wore in previous posts to give you a fair comparison:

I recently got some from underworks and was pretty impressed. They cost alot (AUD $105 for 3), but are really good at making me look flat (Im pretty small to begin with) This is it with my tightest shirt

Bra size: No idea (seriously, pretty small whatever that is)
Binder size: extra small
Binder model: 997 double panel compression shirt from underworks
Picture of the binder [if possible]: see below
Location bought: ordered over Interenet at underworks
Price: $85 US for 3 (thats $105 AUD!)
Advantages: flatterns really well, comvertable once on, works in water ok
Disadvantages: hard to get on, but once on comvertable

I bought the FTM swimsuit top from Underworks....

Don't wast your time.

Bra size: 34 B
Binder size: Small
Binder model: Underworks FTM Swim shirt
Picture of the binder [if possible]: It's coming
Location bought: Underworks
Price: $45 (for the shirt only)
Advantages: You can swim in it and not worry about messing it up because it's made of neoprene I think...or whatever it is they make swimsuits out of. That much is evident.
Disadvantages: WAY too tight, just above my stomach, below the chest. COULD NOT breathe. Does not do a good job of compressing at ALL, so I don't even see the point in exchanging it for a larger size. It's like they set it up to bind in the wrong area. I want my MOOBS compressed not my STOMACH. Jeez. Very difficult to put on and take off.
Other comments: I was generally very dissatisfied with this and I might just buy another T-Kingdom compression shirt just for swimming...Damn the "deterioration" probability, the underworks shirt is just not worth it.

That SUCKS, I was gonna get that one... will they give you a refund???

[trapthavok]

That SUCKS, I was gonna get that one... will they give you a refund???

Yeah they will. Still have to pay shipping both ways and such though so I did waste a certain amount of money on a product I'll never get to use

Uh, so for small chested people you'd all recommend a Medium from both Underworks and T-Kingdom, instead of a Small? 

I'm a 32a bra size (UK), last time I checked, which was light years ago but I don't think it's changed that much.

I'm planning to buy one, 'cause I finally have the money. 
But I don't wanna be shipping stuff back and forth.

hahahha no. I'm a medium! Last time I checked I was a 36 b-or-c. You'd be either a small or extra small!

[icontact]

No wayyyy I'm a 34B, and medium Underworks was huge on me, so for you I'd go with XS.

[fluffy jorgen]

Thank you! My bad. 
Will order XS then and camwhore my chest here a.s.a.p.

underarmour


i have a couple underarmour compression shirts i like a lot. the men's smalls were too big/ long (i'm a short 5'2 and a half and a 34B), and not tight enough; i got womens small or medium....they don't have a W on them anywhere so i was OK with the purchase LOL...these work well; they're not going to make you perfectly flat but they are good for just toolin' around when you don't care about being flat.

they make me look like i have pecs, so thats cool.

Bra size: 32 D
Binder size: small
Binder model: the longer one from Underworks, double compression I think it's called
Picture of the binder [if possible]: see below
Location bought: underworks
Price: $30
Advantages: it compresses pretty well, also the longer length helps a lot if you have a bigger chest as i do, i tried the shorter one but it didn't work out, its not too uncomfortable either
Disadvantages: hard to get on at first but you get used to it, rolls up sometimes

not really a good pic of the binder, but you can see how it looks under a shirt.. oh and don't mind the goofy face haha
