I have major slippage with binders, even after only an hour or so of wear. I solved the problem by wearing a sports bra underneath an underworks tri top, but with an undershirt on that means I have at least 4 layers of clothing on at any given time, sometimes 5 with a hoodie or sweater, and I think it shows on my back near my collar, making it look weird and poofy.
I tried the long underworks binder, and it was even worse because it was harder to keep pulling down. Are there any of the lesloveboat binders that work really well for big chests and slippage? I would really like to ditch the sports bra underneath all the time, especially when I work out.
how does it slip, does it slip up?
binder slips up - chest slips down. It's like it is not tight enough around my chest even though it seems to be the right size when I put it on. I look mostly flat with my chest arranged down and out, and I can't get it to stay the way.
I dunno maybe it is time to go a size smaller with the binder and I'm missing the obvious. I sorta want to try one of the velcro ones to see how they work.
Maybe try wearing a shirt under your binder to compensate for the extra space between your binder and your body??
I wear a tri top and a 997 and what I do is I put on the tri top first and the 997 over it. No more issues with slippage. I'm a DDD by the way so I have dealt with the issue.

So I finally tried this recommendation, and it is completely perfect. It is even comfortable. The 997 on first with trip top over it works too.

How flat does it make you? I'm a DD and it's still noticeable that I have breasts under one 997. I've been wondering about wearing another one or something like that.

One 997 was the first way I tried to bind, and it didn't work for me either. I'm also DD.
here's how I've found it to work ( flatest > not that flat) 997/tri-top (tri-top over 997) > tri-top/997 > tri-top w/ sports bra > tri top > 997
If I stand up completely straight and you look at my side profile, there's still a bit of a rise, so not completely flat - but not really noticeable given I subconsciously slouch anyways, and you'd have to really be looking to notice it. I do wear several layers most the time in public, though. ( hooded sweatshirt/collared shirt/t-shirt)
Thanks for the info...the 997 sounds like a good option...definitely be trying that one out:)
P.S. Sorry for all the posts tonight if anyone noticed...just really bored and I'm just reading every post to pass the time:)
I went through a spell of slippage awhile back, when my body was first changing on T, and I mostly fixed it by wearing a regular cotton wife beater under my binder. Looks like you've got it solved though.
