Title: Bigger binders
Post by: Henry Lockhart on December 07, 2012, 05:38:54 AM
Can anyone recommend a type or make of binder that is better for people larger on top? Most of the ones I come across are for those who are lucky enough to be pretty flat already.

Cheers

Henry

Not true. I'm not flat even thought I use a small binder (by les love bout standards). For me it's just because I'm small (talking about my body here)

Oh, I get what they mean by small now.

Thank you for clearing that up; will make it a lot easier when looking.

Cheers

I have friends that are about a G cup. They use underworks (tri top or 997). It does a good job, however...it is going to be uncomfortable.

I heard underworks works great if you really hate your body, but it will be vary uncomfortable. I really don't know many non-asian places to buy binders other than them. Sorry.

This. I'm a G cup and use a tri top by underworks. Works pretty good given the situation. I'd go with underworks. LLB is really only for smaller people.

I'll second (or third?) your comments re: LLB. I have a C cup and I am thinking of a extra large. I will assure you I am extra large on just about nothing.

I have a 44E chest, and I have found an Underworks full-length Extra Large binder to be pretty decent.

Thanks heaps guys. I'm pushing it wearing a  12-14D when I should be in an E but there isn't much point in upgrading when I'm looking at binders. I'm looking at getting a free hand-me-down from MORF so I shall see how it goes from there once it arrives.

I got mine from MORF too. They're a fantastic service.

They're a Manchester-based UK binder exchange scheme. They can be found here (http://www.morf.org.uk/binder.html).
