Title: Binders for Chest and Hips
Post by: Nygeel on September 12, 2011, 09:21:26 PM
Is the 997 from Underworks the only binder around with strong full length binding? Right now I feel like I need the binding more in the hips than the chest...heck, my hips bother me more than my chest. I'm uncomfortable with using things like pantyhose or control top panties to slim my hips down. I'm looking for a long binder. What others out there?

Hmm...I don't think those would be high enough, and if they were it would probably dig in or fold ('cause when I bend I get foldy spots).

I saw this new product on Underwork's website and wondered if it could possibly be used as a hip compression binder. You'd have to adjust it by removing the panties, and then sliding it down around your hips. I'm thinking of buying one and trying it out.

My upper hips are what need slimming...which is where the hernia supports compress. I do have an abdominal support which I bought with the intentions of using it as a binder.
I just tried it on my hips. The top and bottom roll. It makes the velcro noise when I move. It's not comfortable nor uncomfortable (without rolling). It makes my back curve more than it does at that part...causing my butt to stick out more.

I haven't tried this, though I've considered it at one point: the Ultimate Chest Binder Suit 967 from Underworks.  It's the first item listed: http://ftm.underworks.com/ (http://ftm.underworks.com/)

It kind of looks like a double-front 997 with attached boxer briefs.  Product description says that it "eliminates the rolling up issue some encounter with binding shirts."  Don't know how comfortable it would be, though.

I wear compression shorts from UnderArmour or Adidas. They're meant for sports players but they really squish in my hips and raise my butt. Or you could try these boxers from Andrew Christian?

I might get a pair - they're a bit like the man version of Bridget Jones knickers lol, but they look pretty good!

Adds up to one inch to your butt.
