Title: Binding large chests

Hey,
So after a bit of reading I tried binding my chest with a 6" ace bandage a few times, and I have quickly discovered that I would really like to have this all the time. I have a fairly large chest (c/d cup) and had trouble with the bandage sliding and rolling off and the fat popping through with any real movement. Does anyone have suggestions on how to keep everything in place for long periods of time? Is this even possible with wrapping?
I'm thinking that having an actual binder would be nice, but having it delivered would be an issue, as it would either have to go to my apartment (with 4 of us here) or to my parents' house. Either way, it would be hard to arrange things without getting a "What did you order?" I live in Denver, and it would be nice if I could find somewhere that carries them around here. Does anyone know of anywhere that might?
Either way, I love the thought of being able to go about my day and seeing stomach rather than chest when I look down.
Thanks, and sorry if this is a constantly repeated question.

Ace bandages are of course a big evil of binding. The next, slightly better alternative is a back brace or abdominal support. It has velcro on one side and is just one band to go around your chest. I saw one at a CVS. They're probably available at pharmacies and medical supply stores. I still would recommend a binder (underworks 997 or tri-top). You can always try to pass it off as just an article of clothing or maybe have it sent to a friend that you're out to?
