congrats dude

you guys are lucky to be in the state, I live in Aust and there is no one around here that sells that kind of stuff. I could order one over the Internet, but I kind of like to try it on for size first

Lucky (for me) I have a pretty small chest anyways

I've heard for small chests you can use sport pantyhose. I might use try that because I'm an A.

I think we should invent a new brand of binder and have it triple and long, and sell them for CHEAP.  What'd ya say?!  :laugh:

That's what I thought when my first one arrived. Now (a couple months later) it's second nature to squeeze into it. Doesn't mean it doesn't still suck, though. >_>
Title: Re: Binder yay
Post by: Aiden on August 07, 2008, 05:44:21 PM
yeh.  still doesn;t hide it completely, and it's a but to long, rolls up at the bottom and squeezes into my waist.  (as if I needed my ass to look even more noticable.. geh)


Is it safe to trim these?
Title: Re: Binder yay
Post by: emoboi on August 07, 2008, 05:58:18 PM
mine is like not full length and i can breath in it cause it is not lose but there is room in the breathing department

I got a xs tri-top from underworks.  I have never had any confort issues with it, and it works really well. I usually wear them for about 3 months then try to get a new one because they do stretch after a while.  Even though it says not to put them in the dryer, i usually do for about 15-20 mins to shrink it back up a little bit after i wear it.

Mine are bad about rolling up, too. I don't even bother trying to wear them like shirts anymore. Firstly, one layer is NOT enough compression for me--I'm rather "well-endowed"--so I fold it up and pin it for double pressure. Second, there's the whole rolling-up hip-and-waist-accentuating thing. I've got a fat ass, and the binder does nothing but make it worse when I try to wear it tucked into my pants or pulled down around my hips. The best compression I get is wearing my larger binder folded up and pinned with the smaller one on top tucked into the boxers--although, unfortunately, this method makes it so I can't breathe and leaves my ribs aching for days.

Woe is me. *sigh*

Unfortunantly I am rather 'well endowed' as well lol.  Used to be even more so.  BTW had read supposed to have the breasts pushed towards sides a bit or something...  can't get them to do anything but be pressed down lol.  hides it some but still got this lump on chest

I don't bother trying to push them to the sides; all I can do is squish 'em straight down. Unfortunately, I get the "cleavage" thing--the binder pushes them more together than anything. Anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of this effect? It bugs me more than wearing no binder at all (though I certainly can't do THAT).

I have the same problem with my boobs being squished together. I wore a binder out today to go to a party, hurt like hell. My boobs were squished together the whole time, and were turning red. Not good.

Post by: Scotty72 on August 09, 2008, 02:30:02 AM
I bought the double front my first time, but it wore out really fast and it ALWAYS rolled up.  Like the dork I am I even tried to pin it down to the inside of my pants, but that was a dumb idea, lol.

The Tri-Top I have now is amazing. I'm a 36 B and the binder makes me completely flat.  I was looking to buy one of those compression vests that you have to hook together, but I dont know if they're any good or not.

Congrats on the first binder btw!

Tried to folding up, but couldn't breath like that and hurt.  Probably shouldn't off but ended up trimming the bottom a bit.  Still cuts into my sides, but not as bad.  Unfortunantly think got bit bruised on the side from wearing it before trimmed it.  Compression doesn't seem compromised though.  Plan to run a few stitches in it as well to make sure doesn't unravel

Scotty: When I first got mine, I pinned it to my boxers. It worked for a while, but then I had to pee. 'Twas too much trouble to unpin it and then rearrange and repin it afterwards (especially in public bathrooms). Easier to fold it up.

Post by: trapthavok on August 09, 2008, 08:43:31 PM
WOOOOOOO!!!

Mine came from T-Kingdom today!!!

I don't know if it's too big or not though :( I'm a 34 B so I got the large since it said by centimeters and not actually cup sizes....

Maybe I'll put up pictures later and get a second opinion. But I love it!!

Lol, I tried that but it gave me the worst wedgie ever!  But you're right, folding is easier.  Probably safer than sticking pins in your underwear.
