Uh, i have a strange question
my binder is cutting into my arm pit and it's driving me nuts it really hurts and i move it and a couple seconds later its back to doing the same thing it's very uncomfortable.
My binder is a year old and coming apart a little i'm the seem but its still holding together so i haven't gotten another one yet and is also from gc2b. Does anyone have any tips hints on how to fix this so it isn't cutting into my arm.

I use to wear a tank top/ wifebeater under my binders and it seemed to help me out.

I usually just use sewing scissors to make the holes bigger. I can't tolerate the irritation. I think that may compromise the binding power a bit, however.

I would sometimes wear a thin shirt/tank top under it. It helps lessen the irritation without damaging the binder.

Thanks everyone
I'll probably end up wearing a tank ;D
Problem is i just have to go to the store and get one thin enough.

You could go on amazon and look for Spanx tops for men or something similar (I think Spanx may be a little pricey). They are quite comfortable and thin too.
