Title: Chest Binder Suit
Post by: PandaValentine on October 26, 2011, 07:01:18 PM
It's been almost a year since I bought a binder - and I found this one (1st one at top)

I was wondering if anyone else has bought this and what it's like.

I've heard mainly negative reviews of that.

Do you know why?

Not off hand but I can do some searching later.

Personally, I think the tri-top does its job just fine and there's not much that can make me forget (when wearing it) that I'm getting the life squeezed out of me. Because it presses everywhere, the top tends to feel a lot tighter and it doesn't do much with the hips (or mine aren't naturally noticeable) so there's no point in it covering my stomach. I also worry about my shirt rolling up because with the try-top you don't have to worry about someone accidentally seeing you but this one can be seen if the shirt lifts a little.
It's also difficult to tuck in and rolls up a lot in my opinion. I only wear it when I'm washing my other one.

People see my binder sometimes. No one has ever said anything so I assume they think it's an under shirt.  The texture is like underarmor somewhat (I have the underworks 997 double front).  If anyone does ever say anything I will tell them it's a back brace.
