Title: Binder Help
Post by: Silver Centurion on May 13, 2017, 01:56:12 PM
Hi guys!

I just got my first binder and I can't seem to find an answer to the question I have. The binder is great and does amazing things but I have some loose space in the arm pit area which I don't mind it's just the curve of the space is rubbing my arm pit really bad and I'm wondering if you guys know what's best to keep that from happening. Thanks for the help!

You could try anti-chafing products.

Stuff that will keep it from getting irritated? The only other thing I found was talking about cutting the binder and resewing it but I didn't think that would help much.

Yeah, the irritation is caused by the fabric rubbing the skin, right? So something like Body Glide would probably help. I'd give that a shot before compromising the integrity of the binder.
