I've been binding for about 3 months now and recently my breasts have been really hurting. I have two binders that ive got from amazon.co.uk. I cant remember which ones they are but I think its T-works or something? I dont remember and the labels have come off both binders somehow. Anyway even with two they hardly do anything to my chest and i have to pull the binders quite tight and tuck them into my trousers or else they just rise up and dont do any binding at all. Recently ive had a lot of pain in my chest, more around my left breast for some reason. My breasts have always been sensitive. If I ever knock them somehow they really hurt so after binding they double in pain. Ive started going back to wearing a bra in the house which is hard because it makes me feel less like a man. Can someone recommend a good binder that will work better or just anyway I can make it so my chest doesnt absolutely kill me?
I know they're kind of a little more pricey, but I've heard from others, and have one myself and agree, that Loveboat binders are very comfortable and bind well. http://www.lesloveboat.com/ (http://www.lesloveboat.com/)
I don't know that I'm a good judge for comfort, which is why I'm going by other opinions as well (I have a weird liking for the compression feeling so yea) but I have no trouble breathing in my binder, no discomfort whatsoever actually.
I have the jersey mesh short binder btw.
Thanks a lot. These binders look pretty good. The only trouble I have now is getting the size right. No matter how much I measure myself it always seems to change. I dont wanna get the size wrong and waste that money.

Just chiming in to let you know that Love Boat does offer exchanges for wrong sized items. They won't refund, but they do offer an exchange and their customer service is excellent from my experience, so feel free to e-mail them with any concerns or anything. They're more than willing to help you out.
I have a binder from Love Boat as well and I'm planning on buying probably two more before much longer, so I definitely second Asher's recommendation for the company.
Ok Im thinking I might go ahead and buy the one you mentioned Asher but before I do I'd just like to know from anybody how well this will flatten my chest. Im not sure what size chest you have and I wont ask you to type it here if you dont want to but Im rocking a pair of E's and those bad boys dont flatten easily. The binders I have arent made purely for FTM's so their ability to flatten might not be as good as these. As I said mine probably bring me down to a C, a B if I really try. Now that Ive got the right size (A large I think) I just want to be sure that I will be happy with the results before I end up buying another binder not made for someone with a large chest.
