Title: how to even out the binding
Post by: Everyone on January 25, 2011, 10:18:10 PM
I got an esha binder a few days ago. I've been messing with it a lot to see if I can make it flatten me as good as it does in the picture, and I can, but only on one side. On the other side it's like I'm using ace bandages. How do I make it so that both sides are evenly flat?

Also, it is one of the velcro binders, just to clarify. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.

Is it the binder itself that's sticking out or your chest under it?

It's my chest under it. But the binder is in the right size, I just always have this problem of one side being more flat than the other XD

If the velcro is sticking up some and creating a small gap between the layers, that might cause an issue.  You could try putting small pieces of tape to hold the layers together on the inside of the velcro after you have it on to close the gap.

I'm having a similar issue. My bigger boob won't squish right.
I believe it's because the binding part of the binder doesn't extend high enough and it leaves my boob kinda lumpy looking? Different amounts of pressure over the tit area.

I just rearrange myself frequently. I'm thinking of trying out a sports bra with it. But I'm going to have to wait for a cooler day.

Summer blows.
