I think im due for a new binder, atm I have a double front(sm) &a tritop(sm) both in black.

I know in the end its all up to personal preference, but I wanted to hear some opinions, or if you can conclude to which id prefer.

For me, each has its own positives &negatives.

The tritop doesn't bind the stomach, which I prefer cause I have stomach problems. But this also causes my fat to stick out where it stops. And a big dip in my shirt when I sit.
Its way easier &quicker to put on &take off.
The stitching on the sides look like they're coing apart &it was brand new.

The double front smooths everything out. Im kind of chubby so it holds everything in.
It doesn't pop out as much in the front &I can wear lower cut shirts with it/open button on top.
But I have to deal with an extra step when using the restroom &more adjusting throughout the day.
The stitching still looks really good &it was doanted to me used.

So, I think that's pretty much it.

Also im stuck on whether to try white or just stick with black. I hear black ones are tighter, &stay looking clean/new longer. I had preferred black because I mostly wore black/dark colored tees. But this restricts me to not wearing white or light colored/see through shirts at all now. Though I only have a few, &have not tried wearing them, I think itd kind of look funny. Idk, opinions, comments?

Black is best imo. White to me makes the pecs look bigger and I'm anal about being as flat as possible. I like the tri top cause it has the most compression. Double front for me wouldn't bind nearly enough.

half my binders are black but by next week the whities will be in the majority. i think it's a good idea to have one white binder. you can look into some other companies if you're not satisfied with underworks' product range. I never ordered there before because i think they all look hell uncomfortable. my binders are shorter than the tri top, but i'm skinny so there wouldn't be fat sticking out either way, but i would think most people have less fat on their rib cage than in the belly area, so a binder that ends at the ripcage might give a more smooth appearance. I had one full length binder before but it almost killed me. red marks on my hips, boobs moved when shirt moved...in the end i cut it :D

Hmm, stil stuck on the color though.. It might be good to have ONE white like said.. Maybe, since my bday is coming up, ill get some money then I can buy one blk and one white.. I can only hope.
