The most effective binder?

[nolife]

Hello,
I was just really wondering if the f2m binders are actually effective on making the chest look flat?
Or does it still give the appearance of breasts, man breasts, or even making it obvious that you actually have a binder under your shirt?  I highly doubt that it will look completely flat
But anyways, I need to know exactly which binder I need to get

~  Where should I even order from?  Underworks or T-Kingdom? 
I was just looking at both of the sites and I know for sure that I want the long ones that cover the entire torso.  On T-Kingdom, there was a chart that determined chest size and I found out that mine is:  31-33 inch (78.7-84cm) Do I also need to know my cup size too or is that enough? 

Anyways, I was thinking of getting the Double Front Compression Shirt (Style 997) x-small one from Underworks. Does anyone else use this by any chance?  If so, how does it look on you guys?

If you know about other styles/models that would be more effective for me, I am also willing to take that option regardless of the pain and discomfort that it might give me.  Thanks in advance.

ok.. you probably wont look COMPLETELY flat.

but with the right binder, and the right shirt.. no one will think that you have boobs.. (or hopefully)

I use the small double compression shirt from underworks

Dont get an XS is you arent an XS.. look at the sizing chart at underworks. You dont need to know your cup size. You look like a small from your measurements.. if you get an XS it will just be painful and hard to put on. It could damage your ribs too.

I put a pic of how the double compression works for me.. I think I am a small B cup, but Im not sure.. also I have been binding for about a year.. so the breast tissue has broken down and made it easier to bind more effectively.. something you can look forward to.

it doesnt look like man boobs.. it will just look kinda like pecks, and nah the shirt isnt noticeable.. but if someone rubbed your chest they would feel that you have something tight on under the shirt.

ignore the stain, its just water lol

Thank you for the info, and the pic looks great actually.  I hope it does the same for me...

Remember: Guys have pecs. Not all guys are totally flat

And underworks. From waht I've heard, T kingdom stuff isn't too good at binding compared to underworks.

I have a T-kingdom binder that's 3 sizes too small and I own sports bras that bind better than it. With that said the tri-top or 997 look like the best bet if you're looking for a binder. There are other options that are cheaper/not actual binders. The binder poll thread thinger should give you some more information.

The "better" binder is dependent on the individual. Most guys find that Underworks serves them better, but other find them to be a bit too much and/or difficult to work with.

There are pros and cons to any product and you just need to try them out. If you're really that small then just think about what you'd like. Are you okay with a stiff piece of fabric or would you like something that wears like a cotton?

I think comfort is a big factor, but if you're one to bypass that for the sake of appearance I'd go for Underworks just because it binds wonderfully for me. I, however, am considering T-Kingdom for it's comfort and inconspicuous appearance. Besides, a friend of mine who is about a D uses T-Kingdom and he looked flat as a board you could say.

Sounds like you're about the same size as me and I've found that a small size in Underworks binders give a better result. Not totally flat but more of a male chest i.e. looks like pecs. I agree totally with Elijah about not getting too small a binder. If you're on T or working out you will probably end up fitting into one that is a little big at first anyway.

Yeah, thats the thing. I am not on T nor do I plan to be on one.  With my child like figure being so short and with no muscles at all, appearance of pecs look weird on me even though they're not breasts...  So since I didn't care about the pain and the suffering that I would have to go through, I now have the X-SMALL one
I honestly didn't think it was going to even get on, I probably damaged/injured my arms in the process though.  Oh well, I knew surgery was the only option...

So since I didn't care about the pain and the suffering that I would have to go through, I now have the X-SMALL one

good luck with that.

Try stepping into it and pulling it up. It works better for me than the overhead method. Might just save those arms too
