i dont have one yet so i'd like to see how some of you guys look with and without your binders.this doesnt seem like an odd request to me since i am honestly curious to see how much of an impact these things have, but if anyone is uncomfortable feel free not to post.:D i am curvy and short, with 38 D's so if someone with a similar bodytype isnt afraid to post i would be soooooo happy!:D thank you!
love,
Alex
I will see if I can find mine. I made some before my surgery. I was almost DD, and am 165 lbs, size M shirts and 34" waist so dunno how that compares to you.
i'm 38 D, 35 waist, 175 or 180 pounds and 5 foot. size L shirts.
Hey I'm curvy and short (5'2") and a DD but I'm pretty overweight. You look pretty average weight wise (from what I've seen) but I can still take some before and after's if you'd be interested.
yeah pretty average i guess. i have no hips or butt so when i fully transition then i wont shift too much weight. lol. yes i would be interested!
Okay we're roughly the same size then, except I got a fat ass and large hips hahah. I got some on my external hard drive, I'll dig some up.
yay! "does pathetic happy dance"
OK. I'll take some tomorrow then. I probably have some pics somewhere but I'm not sure if they'd be good comparison ones. I use a underworks 997 binder. Also I've been on T a little over a month and that's shifted some of my weight around but I'm not sure if that has any effect on how my binding is going though.
I will take some pics later for you. I forget how much I weight. About 175 I guess. I'm 5'5 and whatever cup size comes after DD. I spilled out of DD bras. lol
So here is me with and without my binder. I have the Underworks 997.
I'm 5"6' and about 190. I'm not sure how big my chest is, because I don't wear bras, so I don't know my size.

Tritop binder - The shirt is bunching up at the top, there really isn't a bump there.
Shaynee,
Both of your binders do a great job of flattening your chest. I am a 36b-c, but mine seems to be to firm to flatten as I would like.
wow....i want one so bad now....mine may practically disappear like yours Shayne....god i'm in awe.does anyone know anybody who wouyld be willing to donate an old one they grew out of or lost weight and cant fit into anymore? i really dont have the money. i live i n a group home and only get 50 dollars a month to spend on hygeine products.:(

It helps to push them up and out (or down and out) or out to each side, depends on the binderr. Sometimes they migrate back to the normal position if I'm doing a lot of moving, but I just have to readjust them. It's annoying, I can't wait for top surgery.
If you go to Underworks website and figure out what size you'd be, I think I have one I can send you. It's the 988.
OMG thats the one i wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!I'm a medium!!!!:D thank you!!!
My breasts are the same as yours, and I have never had a problem hiding them with Underworks. Highly recommended.
Also, don't forget, you have to give yourself time for you body to get used to binding. It took me 3 binders, at least 6 months of consistant binding, and some alterations to get the look I wanted.
The first few months, I had the uniboob bump thing going on.
But now(a year later), I can get pretty flat.(and im probably average size)

What do you mean by consistent binding and some alterations? Does binder for a long period of time making it easier to make yourself flatter? How does that work?
I just started binder, and so I'm not as flat as I would like, so that's why I ask.

Binding almost everyday. I altered my binder because it kept popping out at the neck(tritop). I also trimmed the bottom off so it wouldn't dig into my stomach, and bunch up on my ribs.
Within time, binding breaks down your breast tissue. So at first, they will be harder and more perky. When you bind consistently, they become softer and droopy.
Shayne,
Thanks for sharing the pics. I was very happy to see them and instantly went to Love Boat to get a new binder. That is the only company I have not tried, so I pray it works. Once I find the box of my old binders I will have to let folks know. I would most likely sell them for a fraction of the cost I bought them for because most were worn less then 10 times and a few are still in the bag. I hope the new binder works because I have almost given up on trying to get a flat chest. I hate hiding in my apartment!!!
any ones you cant sell or that are old i will gladly take.
I am also going to get blasy adn ask if anyone has a binder that they don't use? I am low-income and ace bandages aren't working and are hrurting too much. I have a 36 D/DD bust... I ahte to ask but why not?

They have a binder program where you can get second hand binders for around $5.
where at?
Oh. Duh lol
Got my love boat binder in and I am happy with it. Finally one I think I can live with for a bit.
I have some college work I have to get done, but afterwards I will see if I can go through some of my boxes from my move and find some binders. Warning: I moved from a good size home to a 1 bedroom apt, so I have a lot of boxes in storage still, so may take a bit.
Oh wow. That's great!
