Title: Need help choosing a new Binder
Post by: Evan91 on April 14, 2010, 03:00:21 PM
I've had my Model801 T-kingdom binder since November 08. It's now falling apart. The zipper is at least. I have to paperclip it together over the zipper so it won't unzip itself in public or just whenever.
I'm really low on money. So i need to make a wise decision. I just had a baby two months ago...
I have really bad dysphoria since then and I cannot go without binding or I feel really horrible because I have D-MER and my milk is still coming in since I quit breastfeeding 2 weeks ago.
So I have about 40 dollars that I can spend. What binder should I get. I'm a B cup. Used to be an A but I have eating problems then so I think that might've been why. Maybe I'm just a B because of the milk...Used to be a C.
But, we'll just go with B. A tiny bit more than a handful of boob. :p
TIA for helping. :)
Edit: Ah! I measured under my chest it's 29in.
Is that an X-Small Underworks binder?

To get your size for underworks you need to measure around the nipples, and under the breast, and then add the numbers together and divide by 2. The instructions are on their website, but they help get your accurate size.
A 29" is an XS by the way. Without looking, I have a feeling that the only binder going that small is the tri-top.

I'm a 29 too but I got a small tri top (they were out of extra small) and I'd recommend that. It made my chest look fantastic and I can't imagine being able to breath with anything tighter.

I'd go for the tri-top with your size. You'll have some cash left over!

If you don't know about it, there's a site that gives binders to guys with low income, just had a baby, etc. The guidelines are real strict now but it seems you'd fit them. I'm not sure if i'm allowed to post links here but if you want more info, pm me.
