I bought a binder about a year ago.. and it was pretty okay...
It's the tritop binder from underworks.
But now it can barely fit. My breasts are now double D's and it's practically impossible to get them flat. They're getting bigger too. I don't know what else to do to hide these, they're embarrassing. I'd love some tips from those who are also have big chests. I tried using the Ace bandages but that didn't work well for me.
I have a D i think. One thing I notices is that long binders give me a better result, it looks les stoppy that way. I have Danae transvormer tops and they work wel altough they don't dissapear. i don't think I'll look completely flat with just a binder. I also have those Ebay binders, and they get pretty flat and look good but I can't wear it for as long (YMMV because others have said they're really comfy). Underworks long binder (double compression or something) is good too.
Are they getting larger due to weight gain or are you still developing? Obviously, if it is development there is not much you can do. After a year of daily use a binder will become looser. Perhaps a new one will help some?
I've lost about 30 lbs.. so it fits better around the midsection, but not my chest. I think it's just becoming loose. I'll try some of those brands you suggest Nathaniel. Thanks :)
I'd suggest getting a new binder. The Les Love Boat binder with the highest performance rating (I forget what it is called now) is probably the best in terms of compression (it is also really comfy) but it gives you bizarrely shaped chesticles.
I find the tri-top the best, and I definitely wouldn't go for a 997 if you don't think the tri-top compresses enough.
Just remember, you don't have to be flat. As long as you have vaguely the right shape nobody will notice :)

DO not get LLB. LLB is for a C up and smaller at best. Tri-top or 997 all the way. I'm a DDD btw.

I definitely agree with this assessment.

My LLB binder actually had the best performance (and the tape measure doesn't lie) by quite some way even after several months of use compared with a new tri-top. I have heard bad things about the weaker "sports" binders and things like that, but I didn't get them because I wanted stronger compression. I say had because I don't use it any more because the tri top creates a better shape. One thing I would say is if you are absolutely massive there may be some problems with slippage with any short binder, but especially the LLB binder.
And I don't know my size per se but I am in no doubts about having to get double incision top surgery when I am lucky enough.
i was pretty big, dont know the size since i never really wore bras but lets just say it was impressive on such a skinny guy
the ONLY thing i felt good in was underworks. they wear out, which would be why yours stopped working, and when that would happen to me id buy a new one and it would be good for another year. i never tried many things though since binders can get pretty pricey, but price effective and binding effective underworks is where its at.
