so i don't own a "real" binder and i have to make my own binder using nylons. i usually wear two makeshift binder tops made of tights and over that wear a tank top. but if i push my breasts up it gives me cleavage, down or outward you can see the Lovely Lady Lumps (lol BUT SERIOUSLY), and inward you can see a shadow under them. and if i leave them where they Want To Go it just looks like i'm wearing a regular bra -_- binding like this seriously just takes me from like a c to like a b. or like an a and a half. idk if that exists but whatever WHAT DO I DO?

thanks

Me.....up and out....= armpit fat, but better than having chesticles.

i'm pretty heavy up top, so when i'm binding, i tend to go down-and-out. if i go up-and-out, then it just looks like a weird uniboob shelf.

I push mine down and towards my armpits..it's the only way I've found that looks flattest to me. But, I have to continue shifting them through the day cause they tend to want to ride up after awhile, from bending, lifting etc. I wish I could find a way to make them STAY where I put them.

I tend to prefer the binders that do up with zippers or velcro rather than stretching over my head, so I put them on lying on my back, let gravity take them where they will (which hasn't been anywhere near "up" since I was maybe 18 and they'd reached their full adult size, which was way more droopy than perky), and then adjust them a little in every direction.  Some goes up, some goes down, some goes sideways...I try not to cram it all in one direction to avoid stretching the skin too much, especially "down" (woman boobs are bad enough, but I really don't want to encourage worse granny boobs than I've already got!), though I think it'd be flatter if I did squish them more down and more sideways.  The binders I've got won't let me put too much under my armpits before it oozes out the holes, though.

I do up and out, as my mom taught me.  I've already got stretch marks from droopiness/weight of the things and I don't want to increase the marks.

Up and out looks best and flatest for me.

mine are pretty small
so they just go in

I'm a C cup and I move them up and out. I really wouldn't have to move them much at all if my scoliosis didn't make things very... uneven...

I just go straight out (which requires a little bit of "up" in my case, I'm not big enough for down-and-out).
