Title: My diy binder for 42 G chest
Post by: h3llsb3lls on June 27, 2014, 01:58:58 PM
Hi all, so I decided to make my own binder. So I did a ton of research on how to safely bind, and what the general opinion of what's really not safe is. Then I gathered my supplies. I bought a slip on women's waist cincher size 2x for 8 bucks at walmart, and a pair of one size fits all Leggings for about 3 bucks. I put the cincher on and doubled it over. Then I cut the legs of the Leggings and cut a head hole and pulled the Leggings on like a sports bra. I'm pretty happy with the results. I can breath and move normally, no pain at all,  and only moderately hot.

You might try wearing a button down shirt, something like a pattern or plaid is confusing to the eye. But aside from that doesn't look bad. A t-shirt like that isn't great as it has design right on the moob area, drawing the eye to it.

Excellent!  I bought the materials today and have a shrewd idea of how you did it.  But I shall await your instructions.

Looks awesome! I have a binder that fits OK but is really difficult to get on and off, and yours seems like it might be a little easier to manage. I'm jumping on the "I'd love directions" train.
