how can I make a binder work better

[Everyone]

I recently got this binder from Esha. http://esha-taipei.net/en/?product-81.html

I payed $80 in total and am extremely un-satisfied with the results. The picture looks so great, and the binder is supposed to be rated 5 star in flattening. I knew that I probably wouldn't be as flat as the person in the picture, but I was looking forward to being able to wear clothes that I like and not having to wear a hoodie in the summer time just to hide myself. Before this binder, I wore ace bandages. It seems that the binder only works as well as them though, maybe not even as good. I got the right size, and I'm an A cup so it shouldn't be this difficult. I was planning on enjoying the nice weather today, but instead I spent an hour trying to get the binder to work properly before just giving up. It always makes me look like a twelve year old girl, just like the ace bandages do. I have these weird lumps when I wear it, which I shouldn't have because I'm really skinny so I should be really flat. And it's always un-even. I can't make it work well at all. Do any of you have suggestions of what I can do to actually make it work? I've only had it for 3 days, so it isn't really worn out.

I really don't know the best thing for you to do because I don't have knowledge of that binder. 

However I wanted to say that when I wear tight shirts I also have bumps.  I am not completely flat in the chest area.   But the thing is I have absolutely no trouble passing.  When I go to my martial arts class I wear my binder and a tight tee shirt per regulations.  Still even when rolling around with guys on the floor I'm still passing.  Even when being punched in the breasts which happens I still pass.

I think that is all because my bumps are taken as pecs.  Binding my breasts makes them tight up against my body.  So with the muscles in my shoulders and the muscles in my chest it all works together and I pass.  Most guys over 12 do have Something there.  In my opinion binding completely flat doesn't look realistic.  Not to mention it being unhealthy for you.  I personally like breathing and binding that tight would interfere with my running and working out.
