ok guys. I just got my binder in from underworks. I'm not so sure if it will be the best working one for me. I was wondering if any of you have used this company and if the size of your breasts make a difference in the one you should use? I'm really big breasted and need more info on other binders that may work better. ???
Not too much help here this is the ,one I use the tritop, but I am a large B small C so it works. Not sure for larger guys..

which one is it? the tritop is good.
i got the double layered one....i will order the tri top soon to try it. thanks ^-^
a tip i heard from a friend who had the double layered one is to double it up, fold it in half for double the compression.

That's a fantastic tip Nero. I never would have thought of that. :P

Wouldn't it slide down in like, two seconds?
not sure. never had a double one myself. you could always sew it or pin it like that.
I've never tried a binder actually made for ftms... I use a medical/surgical abdominal binder (just not on my abdomen, ;)). It's a sort of strip of cloth with velcro, which you would think would be flimsy but it's not. Nothing goes over your head, just around you and I always fold it up like Nero suggested. I think I'm in the C range somewhere.... works for me anyway...

I used to do this.. I was a C/D, as I am a big guy too it rolled up all the damn time so I just folded it! I had the tri top too I think I had the medium or the large not 100% sure as it was ages ago I actually brought them!

A word of caution regarding the double front: if you choose to do the folding-up-and-pinning trick, be warned. It is FOUR layers of compression and will cause pain, in the ribs and the breasts and back. This is the reason I hardly ever bind anymore, because whenever I put on the binder (even if I don't fold it up), pain radiates from the right side of my chest and my ribs to my back. It becomes unbearable after 30 minutes to an hour. Doing it occasionally is ok, but I advise strongly against it as an every day solution.
Okay so question time. I am a large human. Working on loosing weight but of course that takes time. Anyways I right now use a medical abdomen binder on my chest. I am not happy with the results. I was just wondering if anyone new a good binder for a big guy. My chest is about a large DD. I know its going to go flat and if it did it wouldnt look right on me anyways. I just want it to look some what normal and no like a uniboob. Any input?
the tritop.
But since the tritop is short wont it like push out my chunk below it even more?
thinks for the tips guys. i tried the doubling of the binder, but it hurts and i can't breath. i guess i'll try out the tri top.
