Is there any stores that sell binders?
I know of a few good online sites that sell them, but I don't want to have it shipped to my house. There are too many other people I live with who will be all snoopy about it. I'd rather buy it in person so know has to know.

Your best bet would be to check out local sex shops, if you're of age. I found them at a local, trans/gay-friendly sex shop that was just a few blocks away. They sold Underworks binders - and jacked up the price a bit, but as I didn't want anything shipped, it was worth it.
(And, funny story, when I went the first time, I was so nervous that I didn't realize the woman gave me a male binding shirt (designed for men with gynecomastia). Probably just a simple mistake, but it didn't stop me from feeling a bit flattered before exchanging it x3 )
Barring that, I know some people have luck with Walmart-bought injury binder things, and other makeshift binder things that you can get at most superstores. Might be worth checking out if the sex shop is a no-go?

Check out medical supply shops as there is such a thing as surgical chest binders. I have found them there. Cost is another story.
