Up until now, I've been using this ribbed corset thing, which was tight and awful and just crushed my chest. I could still breathe easily enough, but it was just, really uncomfortable because the edges of the ribbed bits were digging into my sides and blehh. So I finally broke down and dropped about $50 on an underworks one. I wanted to get a different one, but they only ship to the USA, so Canada-friendly underworks it is!
This one was the one I got- http://www.f2mbinders.com/binding-tops/v-neck/microfiber-concealer-v-tank
And HOLY GOD. It's so very comfortable. It's soft and almost silky and feels sort of like one of those spandex workout shirts. It was really easy to get on (comparitively), though I think I may have ordered a size larger than I needed. It's really long too, so it goes down over my ass a bit, and I sort of feel like I'm wearing a little black dress >.>;; But it conceals really well, (boobs= somewhere between C and D sized, so not tiny).
And WOWWW, because I live in CANADA and this ships from FLORIDA, USA, and it took less than a week to get here o_o Like, super fast. I'm so impressed.
But yeh.
FIRST REAL BINDER!
It's great.
That's a 996, not the normal 997 or 983 that people usually get. I wonder how it feels compared to them.
I have no idea what a 996 or any of that means .___.
But it feels AWESOME.
Sort of like a bathing suit?
I like it.
PICTURES (ignore the chub, I'm working on that) ::::
The binder itself. It's a little rolled up because I just didn't pull it down alll the way, but I doodled in some white sketchy lines so you could see stuff to give you a general idea.

And then, the side and front, with my shirt over it::

It also works pretty good to squish the tummy down (but not uncomfy at all), which is good because between having kids and loosing weight, I have some loose skin issues >.< So YES. It is nice. I super love it.
That looks great! And great job dropping weight. I understand skin issues.
I never saw this binder, I only know 997 and 983 from Underworks, but from your pics it does indeed a great job :) you look great, congrats!

Back before underworks updated their website each garment went by a number. On the new site the old number is the first three digits of that really long number.
MAN! Awesome! You look fantastic happy for ya!
Congrats! Putting on a "proper" binder for the first time is great.
That's awesome bro!
Nice :D glad it's comfy. My binder was a nightmare to put on and take off, I almost choked to death haha, but it is very comfortable once it's on. Glad it's working well for you!
