I have the lesloveboat sports pull over binder and generally I really like it. It feels like I'm just wearing a sports bra, it's fairly easy to take on and off, and its binds great. The only problem is where it fits. I start to get a lot of rib pain when I haven't even been wearing it for very long and I think that is because most of the compression is on my ribs underneath my chest and not actually on my chest. I have to pull it up to get it to fit right and then it doesn't fit right anywhere else. I wear a small, but I don't think going up a size would work because my bust is only 30 inches and over all I'm very tiny. So basically does anyone know of any shorter binders or binders that fit smaller in the shoulders, or even just have the majority of their compression higher?
Well Loveboat binders are VERY small!! I think the sizing is 2 sizes small, so that if you wear a small you might actually even were a large. They are really sized for Asian FAAB people, hence the sizing. I don't know what if anything the actual measured sizes are. I can't even imagine how small you'd have to be to fit into a small. I wear small men's or XL boys shirts. I understand I have sensory issues and wore an extra large.

The problem with the one I have now is that it's too big in the shoulders. Also I'm really, really, tiny. I'm 5'2 and 100 pounds of bone and muscle. My rib cage is 28 inches, which makes me a very tiny B cup. I still need to bind though especially when summer comes around and I can't just wear layers. I think the main problem is that it's just too big in the shoulders.
