Title: Wearing a binder under white t-shirt?!
Post by: patrick on August 01, 2013, 04:55:06 PM
I can't wear white t-shirts at the moment because my binders (which are white!) show under the white t-shirt... Noone else seems to have this problem so I thought I would ask here for tips. I can get away with wearing no binder sometimes but I'm starting a boys boarding school in a month so I can't really risk not binding. How can I wear a white t-shirt without any binder being noticeable?

get one of the long binders from underworks that look like a tank top - it will just seem like an undershirt

My spouse uses the shirt from underworks, he likes the A type the best.

Also make sure that the t-shirt has really thick material (aka, it's not see through at all). That might mean picking out synthetic fabrics (I find cotton tends to be more see-throuigh these days and clings in the wrong places), but I find those shirts really hide the binder well.

First, that's really cool that you get to go to an all boys school. I hope you don't have any issues keeping stealth. But I wear white Hanes t's with just my binder all the time. Either with my white or nude double front 997 or my white tank that has chest only compression. It just looks like I'm layering my t over a beater. I can't wait til I can just wear a nice thin white t with nothing under it. To feel the soft cotton on my chest instead of over my scratchy binder. *sigh*

The 998 from underworks is a crew cut tshirt binder. Maybe that would work?

I think that one company (not sure but think it's Haine's) makes heavy duty fabric. I also agree re: long binders. I wear loveboat and they're are a few pullover styles that look like normal shirts. Take a look at the Jersey binders.
