well 3x double front is ~ $ 85 plus shipping as i remember. unfortunately they don't work for me, but i know there are a lot of people who are happy with this binder:)
about love boat i would say you get three times the quality for twice the money though ........but then i'm also skinny as i can be and compression below the chest will only make me look like i have a girl's waist which i don't even usually have ......the underworks binders don't fit me at all, cut in everywhere, the material is abrasive to my skin and the seams don't lay flat....
The love boat binders i got so far were all way more comfortable than any binder i had owned prior to that. they have cheap binders which are the same quality as the expensive ones on T-kingdom and not cut as low.
i was really disappointed by t-kingdom because the m1700 is the same thing as this one:
http://www.lesloveboat.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=22_36&products_id=87which actually works, whereas the t-kingdom one doesn't, because the compression part is tiny, and the velcro only about 2 inches wide, and it produces side-boobs and cleavage, all of which the one i linked doesn't.
and then the JUYA ones which are pricier but so comfortable i can wear mine at night even. I ordered the one sly! got now as well, can't wait to try it on.... the ESHA extra strength is quite comfortable and flattens me like the tritop, while only flattening me exactly where i need it and not digging into my rib cage.
