Title: Troubles with finding a good binder
Post by: kaiser89 on March 11, 2015, 09:36:47 PM
Hey, I'm searching for my first real binder and I'm having trouble finding a good one. My breasts are D to DD and I can't seem to find a good one that I feel comfortable with. I'm willing to spend $50, but will go a bit over that if its worth it. I'm also rather worried about it fitting over my belly and not making it pop out or roll up. Please help!

Hi kaiser , welcome to Susan's.

I personally have problems with most binders and find using waist trimmers from k mart much better.

Here are some links to site rules and answers to often asked questions.

A lot of the bigger chested guys seem to like underworks binders. I personally used T-Kingdom but I was a medium to small B cup.

I've heard gc2b binders are good for big chested guys, they have an instagram page.

I love my gc2b binder, I would be sure to follow the sizing instructions on their site though.

I'm a medium B, but I have broad shoulders and a wide torso in general and my preference is Underworks. They are about $30/ea. If you were willing to stretch your budget slightly you could get one of each style (full tank, half tank) and see which you prefer. I like them both but I utilize them differently.

I am also quite large-chested (DD/ I don't even know anymore)
one thing that I have noticed is that full length binders work a lot better for me because there's more room to adjust things. I have an underworks full length binder and I have never had any issues with it rolling up (I just tuck it into my jeans and wear a belt)
Of course, I do usually end up double binding ( which is probably really stupid) and even then I don't think I'm completely flat, so I wear at least a button up shirt over it.
I've heard really good things about gc2b as well. Supposedly compared with underworks binders, the arm holes fit a bit better, and there's less "bunching" in the front. I think if I were to get another binder, I'd go with them :)

Thank you very much Kat, I'm make sure to read up on those when I have more time (hopefully tomorrow).

To everybody else, thank you so much for replying. I know that most people recommend Underworks for their price and how they work, but I don't really want to go with them. I'll certainly check out the other store, though (gc2b).
