Title: Good Binders for a Small Chest?
Post by: SirRiley on August 23, 2011, 11:43:26 AM
Ello everyone,

I'm currently shopping for a binder and I want some advice for which brand would be good for a small chesticles. I'm size A or "almost A." I'm fortunate for that I'll admit. But binding with a sports bra almost does the job but you can still see suspicious bumps and I don't feel confident if I'm not wearing a shirt with a pattern or really loose.

Any suggestions, experiences that I can learn from?

Thanks!

I used the two cheapest tank shirts from Underworks. They are not super binding, which some people don't like. But it was more than enough for me.
Think I still have one in a drawer somewhere. It's a sz large.
PM me if ya want it.

i had kinda firm, perky "almost A cups"....i felt like the t-studio v-neck short binder and the high performance velcro short binder from les love boat worked best.

I don't really have anything helpful to add unfortunately, but I just wanted to add my interest to this topic. I've got a fairly small chest as well and currently use an Underworks tri-top. It binds very well but I find it extremely uncomfortable — it's also been causing issues with my back and shoulders :( I'd be very interested to hear about any slightly more comfortable solutions people might have?

well the most comfortable binder out there is undoubtedly the Sports Pullover Binder from Juya (sold at lesloveboat.com). It doesn't so much constrict your chest but "repositions" everything so the boobs spread out and don't appear to have a feminine shape, if that makes sense.

I have a small chest as well. I never bothered measuring or wearing a bra before, so I don't know what size they are. But I wear Underworks, both tri-tops and double panel. I find the double panel is really comfortable, since it's full length it gives a little bit of back support.
