Double front rolling...ACK!

[Konnor]

I know there's like a million threads on this topic, but nothing I've tried has worked for me. I just got a slightly used double front from a very generous guy on here. But I'm used to my tri-top and didn't have to worry about the bottom rolling as much. But my double front rolls up and hurts my hips. I'm very hesitant to cut it because I really need the compression on my love handles. I've tried everything else I can think of. Wearing an Under Armor shirt underneath, tucking it into compression shorts, tucking it into boxer briefs, wearing a belt in my jeans and cinching it tight, folding the bottom edge up some. None of them help. It either doesn't stay down, or in the case of folding the edge up, it rides up to where it's not binding my stomach/love handles anymore. I really don't want to compromise that feature of it because it's one of reasons why I love this binder so much. Can anyone help??

I personally don't have that problem...but I wear my compression shirt on top of my binder - don't know if that helps.

I have heard some folks sewing a stripe in on the bottom of the binder

Yeah, consider just getting a strip of cloth several inches wide (the bottom few inches of an old T-shirt might work nicely) and sewing it on to the bottom of your binder. (Careful how you sew - a running stitch or back stitch will not stretch, so you won't be able to get the binder on. A blanket stitch or cross stitch will stretch and provide some give.)

Mine doesn't really roll like up in a circle, it kind of folds over itself, which you can use to your advantage. mine folds into a few inch wide strip that conveniently sits where my waist kind of curves so i just kind of let it sit there and it helps straighten me out. Hope that helps a little.

Thanks fellas! I can't sew, like at all, but I'll keep that in mind as a last resort. I'll try wearing my compression shirt on top too, maybe that will help. Mine rolls into a little tube, and constricts my hips. It hurts, or else I would just let it go lol. Thanks for the suggestions!

I had the same issue with this binder, and I also was looking forward to having compression on the lovehandle area but I gave up and just fold the bottom half over my chest which makes me look flatter I think.  But that way it slides back down. Im tempted to saftey pin it in place but I'm not sure if the holes will make the binder run/rip.

I fold the bottom of mine up to just under the waistband of my boxer-briefs. It holds it really well, and since it's folded I manage to avoid the rolling problem.
