Title: Binder=$20.00?
Post by: WorkerBeast on May 28, 2013, 01:12:11 AM
Hey guys,
I found this site that offers binders specifically for transmen and men who are born with especially large mammillary glands.
Has anyone tried or heard of this company before? I plan to try this as soon as my income allows and I will post a review.
Cool Note: Their sizes scale 32''-58''

Haven't But im in the market for something like this. I have a 997 or 977 whatever it is from underworks, It makes them a sagged b or c, no matter how much adjusting so I've been thinking about getting a smaller binder tank and the strapless brace kind to get super flat if possible. I hate my DDD chest/pecs. Maybe their binder works better for this guy, becuse the thought of two binders on in hot ass Texas or back home in Kentucky makes we want to cut them of myself.

I know how you feel. With DDD pecs and the humidity of Ga if figured I would have to shell out well over $60.00 for 1. Or order a binder from China that may or may not fit and may burst on me. I really hope this works.

Let us know if its any good. If so I'll check it out. My binder doesn't work as well as it used to, so I definitely need a new one.

I think Jay (aleon515) did a review of these, and said that they're only really suited for smaller chested guys.

Here's the review: https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,134606.msg1072534/topicseen.html#msg1072534 (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,134606.msg1072534/topicseen.html#msg1072534)

Well I have a few of these. I actually did a comparison of me with the gc2 compression and the loveboat. They are compression shirts and not really binders. I think they'd be great to exercise in. I do not think that they'd be good if you are too large. I am C and they aren't that great for me, but they do work to some extent (I also use with a muscle shirt when I wear them, which helps smooth everything out a bit.) They are a nice soft material but not particularly breathable. If you google this a trans guy did a video review which is pretty good. He gets many comments from cisguys with gynecomastia, which is amusing.

One neat thing, I have Asperger's and was unable to do any binding at all due to sensory issues til I found these. I eventually found the loveboat style (and size) that seems to work for me, but I was able to use the gc2. So that might be helpful for someone on the autism spectrum.

If you are 58", I'd doubt they did anything unless you are just large with not that much in the way of chesticles.

That is disappointing but thank you for telling me. Do any of you guys have a suggestion for binders that will minimize DDD pecs? Other than underworks?

*Bump what he said, "My DDD pecs need to be minimized more, plus they sag a little do to the years of sports bras and the weight of them. I plan to loose some more weight and reduce body fat by body building to help with my body dysphoria and fat pec dysphoria. Any suggestion will be welcomed.  and I dont want to wear layers to hide or stripes or some crap because I live in hot/humid ass Texas and stripes/plaid are hideous to me. Double bind sounds ideal if it gives me a sufficient bind although I'd rather not. I know this has been discussed in and all over but anyone have something to throw in the pot.

I have heard of bigger guys wearing these to smooth things out.
