Binder Buying Time!

So, I'm hoping to buy a new binder next week. My chest is saggy and shrunk a bit from a tiny bit of weight loss and body fat redistribution. I'm looking to buy a new binder, something new that I haven't tried. My current favorite binder is the underworks 997. I really like that binder, but I know that during the winter I can wear layers and not worry about binding so tight.

Any suggestions besides an underworks or T-kingdom binder?

What about les love boat? Are there any guys with bodies similar to mine who have tried that? Also, with LLB, what is their sizing like? What's good about them, and what's bad?

Pretty much any advice would be great. I've been thinking about LLB because it's something new, but that's also the reason why I don't want to try it.

I heard T kingdom doesn't work unless you're small, skinny, and flat chested. It's geared more for Asians.

BTY I just noticed that winter88 negged both of us and used female pronouns in the reasons for us.

Yea, I saw that, too. I messaged Robyn. If you want to message a mod or admin that could help fix the situation.

Edit to add: yes, T-kingdom sucks.

Yeah, I didn't know what to do.
Oh i see you said besides.  :eusa_doh:

I ordered a binder from Les Love Boat about a week ago, I should be getting it any day now (damn overseas shipping) and I can probably provide pics and a review if you'd be interested. I can list my measurements and all of that to try and give you a good view of how it fits on me.
Oh, and I got the 2nd Gen Jersey Mesh binder I believe it's called.

Other than that I can't really say too much as it's my first binder, but I went with LLB because I heard a lot of people mention how comfortable the binders were, and I easily get discomforted when there's any sort of restriction on my chest (i.e. a smaller sports bra gave me a lot of discomfort and felt like I couldn't breathe).

Jeh

T-Kingdom's model 980 is the only style of binder I like to wear so far. It binds me fine, and I'm 38 inches around the chest.

I tried a Les Love Boat wide coverage binder, but it was too small for me. I didn't like the material of it either. My T-Kingdom binders are good sturdy elastic around the binding part, and the LLB binder was some material that didn't stretch much and felt like it would be more restricting.

Still, I don't know how it would have felt, because it was too small for me.

I tried the t-kingdom 1700. It was horrible. Darn thing fell apart in less than a day. Bound horribly, was uncomfortable, and didn't fit.

I'm also not sure of my measurements. Last time I measured I was 35 underneath and maybe 42 around the widest part.
