Brand new to binding....

[Darrin Scott]

Hello,

I'm sorry if this has been asked over a thousand times, but I've never bound before. In fact, I haven't heard of it until I started researching FTM which I'm gaining a strong interest in. Anyways, I have always hated having big boobs. I hate looking at them..etc..so I might try to bind them. I don't know if I can, though.... I'm a 40 DDD. Is there anything I can do? Is there anything out there or am I just too big? Also, I'm assuming that if you bind you don't need to wear a bra. Ive seen some on the internet that look like T-shirts and tank tops. I hope there is some like those I can get. Like, something the length of my upper body....

Thanks!

Hey hey welcome to Susan's. You might wanna check out ftm.underworks.com I believe that have binders for larger guys. Just be sure to properly measure yourself to get the right size. Instructions are found on the website.

Thanks!

I heard that the 988 is good for larger chests. Is this true? Also, should I wear a tank top under it? I see that there is a chest measurement, but what about cup size?

I'm thinking of getting the tri-top. Someone told me that I'd need to wear a sports bra under it to get real flat. Is that true? Should I get 2 different binders? I've seen some of you guys using 2 binders. Is the tri-top good for larger guys?

Hey man, can't help much because I'm a large C but I use the Tri-top and love it. Never heard of the 988 till now though. I got the 978 and hated it. I pretty much ended up shredding it and using only the compression layer of it under my tri-top. Some guys (as do I) use a tank top under the binder to keep it from digging in at the underarms or the shoulders. Once my binder started stretching out (after about six months of 12 hours a day, 7 days a week) I started wearing a compression bra under it which gets me reasonably flat.
