Just placed order for my first binder!!!

[Caleb]

  So excited. I decided to go with a medium sized white 988. Which is the extreme chest only compression tank with a relaxed midsection. I can't wait to get it in the mail. Things were a little confusing with payments because I had to buy a moneypak card that works off of paypal so my parents wouldn't know. And I had to have it shipped to a friends house. But all the confusion and hard work will be wroth it hopefully! They say you usually receive them in the mail rather quickly, so I will let everyone know when I get it! Anyone else on here ever used the 988?

[Al James]

no but i too have just ordered one

[Espenoah]

Congrats to both of you! I've never used the 988, but I heard it works really well.
Underworks is indeed quick in shipping out. I got my tri-top within the week I ordered, and it works really well too.

[Al James]

well ive ordered the tri top to as everyone seems to be raving about it. did have the 997 but i think my stomach must have grown and it s getting slightly painful. trouble is im in uk and cant remember what the delivery time is

[Espenoah]

Good choice with the tri-top. I would suggest that one to anyone.
And I dunno about delivery time for the UK, but I'm sure it won't take too long.

[Caleb]

Al James... I hope we both have good luck with our 988. Let me know when you get yours in. I'm having my delivered to a friends house, I'm going by there tonight to see if it's already came in. I doubt it has though. What were your measurements? What size did you decide to go with?

[Al James]

ive gone with the medium i think it might be a bit on the tight side but anything that squashes these flat has got to be worth it.

[Caleb]

Yeah same here. And I totally agree. Anything but having to wrap is worth it!

[Espenoah]

Just make sure it's not too tight. You can really get damage if it's too constricting. Be smart about it.

[Caleb]

Good advice Espenoah. I was at the top of the scale for the medium, lower scale for the large. Mainly because of broad shoulders though. So hopefully it will only be a little tight. I wish it would hurry and get here!

[Espenoah]

As long as it's not painful and you can breathe, it should be okay. I think you'll be fine even if you're at the top of the medium size. I would be concerned if you went to a small or something.

[Caleb]

Ok good! I watched a youtube video of a ftm who bought the 988 in a medium and he was way bigger than me. So I was like yeah I'll def. take my chances with a medium. I live in U.S... how long does it usually take for them to make it here from Underworks?

[Espenoah]

I ordered my binder so long ago I don't remember th exact amount of time, but I know I got it within a week. The time flies by as long as you don't think too much about it though. :3

[Caleb]

For real? I heard people getting them in like a day or two! I was hoping for that... ugh. Oh well, I'm so excited! Haha.

[Espenoah]

I dunno, it probably varies. I might've been one of the longer ones for all I know. XD
But either way, the wait doesn't matter once you finally get it. It's worth it no matter how long it takes.

[Caleb]

True statement!

I'm still waiting to get the binder.. ugh I need to practice patience. Anyways.. all I ever wear is a sports bra, but when I wear the binder, are you supposed to wear it with or without?

[Roro]

Do let us know how the 988 works out. I've been thinking of ordering one for some time now. Hate my gut being compressed. Don't know if I would like a tri-top. I've already returned one in exchange for a double front. (ended up cutting it off to about tri top length anyway)

I need a new binder though, as my double front is leftover from before my reduction, so it hardly flattens anything anymore.

[Espenoah]

Anyways.. all I ever wear is a sports bra, but when I wear the binder, are you supposed to wear it with or without?

I always get a better result without. Besides, it's harder to get on with something underneath, at least for me.

[Radar]

I have the 988 but don't wear it often. I've gotten so used to the Double Front Compression Shirts that not having compression at the mid-section feels weird to me. I also think the 988 cuts alot into me, even when using a rash guard. That said it does compress well.

[Al James]

well got my fed ex e mail saying it should be here monday morning so fingers crossed
