Ok guys, about a week or 2 ago I got the Juya Strapless Binder (http://www.lesloveboat.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=200 (http://www.lesloveboat.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=200)) and I thought I'd let you all know how it's working for me.
Now, I know you guys are probably thinking "There's no way this thing binds well, holds everything in place, doesn't slip down, and is comfortable", but I'm telling you this binder is great. It flattens me better than my tri-top, is waaaaaaay more comfortable than my tri-top, and it doesn't slip down. When I first saw this thing online I couldn't believe that a binder without straps would be better than one with straps, but I honestly love it. My only complaints about this binder would be that it's a little long (I'm pretty short, so I think a taller dude wouldn't have this problem) and it still kind of shows under my arms when I wear tank tops (which is the reason I got it in the first place). All in all though, I love it and recommend it for anyone who has the money.
I'm open to putting up pictures if anyone wants them, but seriously guys this binder is great (especially for the hot weather we've been having here in the Boston area lately).

Can you give us some info on your size? Ht/wt, chest size? Pics would be awesome if you wanted to take them. I really am shocked that something strapless stays up so well. Interesting...

On top of Konnor's questions, can you measure the dimensions of the binder?
I have a abdominal support that looks about the same size.

I'm about 5 ft. tall and 130 lbs. I think my chest is a 34B and I got the binder in a size small (there are only 2 sizes).
These pictures are with the binder on.

And just so you guys can get an idea of what the binder itself looks like, this is the front and back of binder and the velcro that holds it together (it's definitely not normal velcro because it's a lot stronger). It's about 36 in. long and 6.5 in. wide.

Looks just like an abdominal brace to me.
