So today my first binder came through. It feels great. Crazy how one thing can give you so much confidence. I even walked to the shop half a mile away from home, and i never walk anywhere cos i hate people seeing me.
Felt amazing.
I have the underworks tri-top. It rolls up a lot though, does this happen a lot or is it cos im not a skinny guy?
Heres me with my binder on, can hardly tell i have a 36dd chest.
Just longing to start T now

You and me both bro. So far, you certainly pass pre-T therefore T will work wonders for you.
What size is your binder? I kinda need to get a new one since the one sent to me by Big Brothers Binder Program sent me one that looks like it won't last me very long.
Cheers dude.
I got a size large. My chest measurement was 37 and that's sort of between a medium and large. So I went with the large.
Glad I did cos it was a nightmare to get on. Haha.

They sent me a large tritop but I'm 34. XD
I have the tri-top as well, and I am also not a skinny guy, but mine doesn't roll up :P

It doesnt roll up, up, just sort of over my stomach just lying a bit rolled up under my chest. Just makes it a bit too tight. I may look to get a full t-shirt one, has anyone got a t-shirt type one from underworks and are they ok to use with a bigger chest?
I use the tank style from underworks. It works for my larger chest and somewhat of a belly.

Is that the 997? How far down does it come? enough to not roll up over my belly?
I use the 997 (small) from Underworks and I bring it all the way down to cover genital area because it helps it to look my ideal version of flat but it rolls up when I am walking if I am not too careful. This is annoying but I don't know any other binder that would be more effective in terms of flatness.
The 997 is great when pulled down as far as it can go. Rolling up is a common problem with both the 997 and the tri-top. I have this one pair of pants that is really tight right at the waist, and keeps mine from rolling up perfectly (can't do that with the tri-top, though).
Anyway, you look great! Congratulations on getting your first binder and the confidence boost!
Btw, in my experience they get easier too put on after a few times. Like they stretch out a small amount, then stay there without loosening any further. Or maybe I just got better at putting it on.
Yes, I'm using the 997. I'm 5'4" and wear a medium and a large. I pulled them down as much as I can. The large stats down pretty well. The medium I usually have to adjust once during the day. They come down around my hips and just about level with my genital area.

I'm a bigger guy with a bigger chest and I got the tshirt (crewneck) kind from underworks and it gives you a bit of a uniboob after you've been wearing it for a while but it's like leaps and bounds more comfortable on the shoulders than the tanktop kinds and I've never had a problem with it rolling up.
Waiting on my tshirt style to come from underworks. I got the tritop n love what it does but I am a large guy 5'3", 200 lb n I end up w underarm wings lol. Plus the ride up is cra zy. I'll let you know how the newone is when it gets here.

I am a 44 H and I use the underworks cotton concealer chest binder. It works great. I'm not skinny, so I do have slight moobs, but I think that adds authenticity. I'd be glad to post a pic if you're interested.

Yea I get slight ride up with the tri top and the under arm wings are a problem for me too. Gives away that I'm wearing something under my t shirt. Yea bro let me know how it is, really want the t shirt type.

Before and after in same shirt.
All I can say is what a difference. I'm trying to figure out 1. How to adjust things perfectly 2. How to do a pic on here for a before n after. BUT ... w the tee shirt no real boobage. The results are comparable to the tritop in my opinion. I needed my roommate's help to get it on but the results are amazing.
On another note I got the Doc Johnson Pack it lite in the same order n was highly impressed. Moulding was fantastic n the squish factor is close to perfect.
1) start with the push down and out to the sides method.
I have 36 DD sized chest and I use the 997. It does tend to roll up a little bit but it's better if you tuck into your pants and wear a belt. I push my chest down and out but I still hate the way my chest looks, so I don't wear t-shirts, just button ups...kinda sucks but meh
I actually use a the sports bra compression bra made for females from underworks, because i couldn't stand not being able to breath while running, hiking, etc. I'm an ex cig smoker (smoked for 7 years, mostly quit for a year now) and I need to breath, damn it. How breathable are the tri tops and the full tanks from Underworks, would you say? I got a velcro style binder from Tranzwear and I felt like I was suffocating and wanted to claw my skin off in that beastly contraption. But the compression bra doesn't get me all the way flat, mostly but there's still a little something visible. I'm only a 37 C so yeah.
I am having no breathing issues with my 997s, even the one that's a little too small. I don't know if it's because I have extra strong trumpet player lungs, just the I'm built, or what.
I find that in the cotton concealer tank from underworks I have no breathing issues at all. I was a tuba player and ex smoker, and Im really sensitive about things being too tight around my ribs, but I can comfortably wear my underworks binder with no issue.
Thanks for all your responses guys, i will look to get myself a tshirt style one next week.
In terms of breath ability, i find my underworks tri top is fine, the only time i have problems is if it rolls up under my chest, can get quite tight but thats the only problem i have with it
Thanks for posting those photos. If been thinking about trying this as my first binder but I'm not small either so I wasn't sure it would be worth it. I'm going to give it a go now though - if the results are as good as yours I'd be delighted.
