Title: You weren't kiddin!
Post by: ConfusedMichelle on January 02, 2007, 10:17:47 PM
Guess what? I got my binder in :)

It wasn't what I expected it to look/feel like. But oh my gosh, you guys weren't kiddin. Those things are HARD to get on/off lol. I got a small. Gah, that thing works amazingly. It flattened me out almost completely lol. But dang, I think I hurt myself gettin it on lol. I did the whole step into it thing. I think it was easier gettin it on than off. But Hey, just wanted to let yall know that I'm a step closer :)

It'll stretch out, in time. It just keeps getting easier. What kind did you end up getting?

Underworks Tri-top. Once it stretches out, will it not bind as well or just be more comfortable?

What do you guys think about compression shorts? I was thinkin bout gettin some. Do they work?

I am laughing with you guys. Same deal here. Getting it on like pants was a big help. Thanks, what a difference. I don't think I got the tri-top though. Maybe that one fits differently. Its a great experience either way. This site is an amazing addition to the new year!

Compression shorts? Never heard of that. What are they and what do they do?

Never tried compression shorts - not really interested in them.

And the binder will just become more comfortable - it should still bind just as well as it does now.

Compression shorts are basically a binder for your hips and butt to shape them into a more masculine form. If you go to http://ftm.underworks.com you can check em out. They are only $22.99. Thought I might give them a whirl?

Maybe I am stupid or here in South Africa they have not advertised or marketed it - but I have never heard of binders and compression shorts. Please help me out here? Thanks

I just got one too - I got the double top though.  I went all emo boy and wore one of my (formerly girl) old shirts the day it arrived...  Daaaamn I thought I looked great!  A high school friend of mine said I made a hot boy ^_^

I freakin loved how I looked already, now I have to do a double-take to make sure it's even me and not some dream :D

A binder is a shirt or vest that is worn to flatten the chest.
Compression shorts shape the hips and butt to a more masculine form. They work well :)


And WILL, aren't they great?! I am going to wait til I cut my hair and stuff before I wear it. But I did try it on. I LOVE it. May I suggest you take a picture of you with it and post it in the gallery? I would love too see how great yours looks. I wish I could post a picture of me in mine, but once again, I'm waiting until I cut my hair to take pics.
