Vneck Velcro Vs. Tri-top review

I ordered the High Strength Velcro Short Binder-Black from Les Love Boat on the 15th of December and received it on Dec 23rd.



- It gets me as flat or flatter (since it's adjustable) than my Tri-top Underworks binder.

- Comfort level is about the same.

- The V neck binder is super super easy to put on whereas I struggle to get my tri-top on.

- I thought I would have problems with the velcro making sounds, but I can move freely without the velcro popping or shifting or making sounds.

Anyway, on to the pictures. I am a small B.

These first two pics are me in my Tri-top which is kind of stretched out, but still gets me rather flat.



Next is the V neck binder, I put a V-neck shirt to test out what it looks like.



Even with the shirt being super clingy and tight, it looks pretty flat to me. So I am super happy with my purchase. I would say though that the V neck is more for smaller chested guys. I do get some 'spillage' if I push them out and up, so I have to push them straight out to each side with the V neck.

I'm off to buy some more V neck shirts.  ;D  :D

I'm happy to answer any questions.



*edit*

This is me in a sports bra for reference:

Sweet!  So glad you like it.  Hopefully mine will be here fairly soon; I'll have to see how bad the v-spillage is.  I'm hoping the V will be cooler come summer.  I'm so excited! :)

The v-neck one looks really awesome on you Shayne, you look totally flat!

I'm thinking of buying that one myself.
But I do have one question, since you said you think the v neck is for smaller chested guys, what size are you? If it's too personal that's fine, I'm just trying to see if I would be okay in one of those. I'm somewhere in the B range so hopefully it won't be too much of a problem with spillage and what not.

Thanks for posting the pics btw.

I am a 34B. They're not tiny, but not huge either. Oh never mind, I'll just take a pic and show you lol. This is me in a loose sports bra.



Also, I just bought a new tri-top, but in size small this time. It gets me really really flat. So maybe I should do some comparison shots on that as well.

What size binder did you get from LoveBoat? I've heard a lot of people have sizing issues (ie. buying too big from LoveBoat) - and since I'm the same measurements as you are, I figured I'd try to save me the trouble. :)

That's awesome thank you so much for posting that!
I'm around the same size too so this thread helped a ton.

Thanks for posting this! I just got the v-neck lesloveboat in the mail yesterday and I'm absolutely in LOVE. I previously used their strapless velcro binder and didn't realize just how bad it was until I pulled this one over my head and got myself situated. The strapless one was my first "official" binder and I thought it was normal for it to be that uncomfortable as my previous methods always had been. This v-neck binder however gets me pretty flat and I can still breathe like I'm wearing a sports bra. My only complaint is that I have one moob that's a little bigger than the other like most FAAB's and I still feel like I can tell... I honestly don't think anyone else really notices it though, considering that I don't exactly go out in wife beaters or really tight fitting shirts.

Anyway, it's WICKED comfortable and I recommend it highly. Not having moobs and still being comfortable physically takes a serious edge off of my dysphoria.
