Title: Want a binder (in the UK)
Post by: Canl on October 26, 2014, 10:42:32 AM
Does anyone know if and where I can get a binder from in the UK? I know I can get it online but I don't like using online websites to buy stuff. So are there any shops that sell binders?

I don't think there are any physical shops that sell binders.. But I think I've heard some guys say that they've used the mens compression shirts from UnderArmour to bind. Dunno how effective they are, but maybe you can see if there are any UnderArmour shops near you?

EDIT: Hm.. I just did a quick google search and it sounds like that method only really works for guys with not much there to begin with.  :-\

Morf binder scheme. They sell secondhand binders and are based at a lgbt youth club in Manchester. You only
have to pay for p&p.

Some sex shops have binders and other ftm stuff. But they don't always know what a binder is or what they are doing selling them, so it's good to know your size, do your research on the brand, etc. before making a purchase.

Yep. Sex stores, as "presentation play." If you have any women friendly sex stores around you, that'd be my first bet. Anything that caters to a female and or queer clientele is likely to stock binders, in my experience here in the USA.
