(The last touched binder forum hasn't had a post since early 2011)

As a gender-fluid I have my days where I am highly dysphoric about my female body. As such I've decided to invest in a binder. The problem is that all the trans* I know around me are MTF and I have no clue how to contact a trans* community in my area for help.

I would LOVE help with finding a nice binder that works and feels great, and doesn't run me bankrupt. My budget it about 60$ after shipping costs.

I'm 39" (99cm) across nip. (36C US cup).

I've looked into LesLoveBoat, but fear I'm too big.
Underworks has had iffy reviews from what I've found
Peecock Products is too expensive with poor binder reviews
T-Kingdom, I might be too big for too

I'm really looking for a tank-top binder so as not to arouse high suspicion if someone finds it. (I also have a muffin top that crop binders might accentuate )

Any well-endowed persons (around and over size 34B US) out there who've had good findings with a binder? (I don't mind small bump pecs, but I do want to be flatter). Thanks for any help

I wore 38DD cup size when I wore bras....no idea of proper size, they were too small that's all I know

I use the extra strength short velcro binder from leslove boat and it does a good enough job, it doesn't bind as well as the 997 from underworks but the huge jump in comfort is worth it to me. I got one size lower than the size chart recommended. It does very much accentuate muffin top with it being short, but with the longer ones they tend to roll up and constantly need adjusting.

To achieve the best look I wear a mens sculpting all in one compression...leotard thing...I got from a local supermarket. That compresses in the chest, stomach, hips, bum and thighs. Then I put the binder over the top. Then I usually wear a t-shirt and an open shirt over the top and it evens out my shape pretty well and drastically reduces the muffin top problem, making my torso more of a fluid shape from chest to stomach, rather than them looking like two separate units, if that makes sense 

My very first binder was a zip up from t-kingdom and while I was thrilled with it at the time I now would not recommend them having tried some other brands. They just aren't designed for bigger cup sizes.

Binders on LesLoveBoat look small because they're on small, asian models, but fear not, they can definitely be worn by bigger guys. Just measure properly and you'll be fine. You're only a C cup, I wouldn't worry. Also if you check their site, many of their binders are peer reviewed. Check the comments and many guys will indicate their size. Then you'll know for sure it's a winner.

I will say on LesLoveBoat their "Strapless Velcro Binder" looks suspiciously like the neoprene waste trimmers I use to bind. Theirs is $41 so it may be better made but I paid $5 for mine. You can get them at Walmart or for $10 they have them at Dick's Sporting Goods and probably other Sport's stores.

Awesome! Thanks you guys! I'll start looking into those

The binders I own are from Underworks. Depending on the models, you may either love them or hate them. The first round, I ordered three different ones and I only liked 1 out of the 3. My buddy on the other hand, has tried the same models, loves the ones I hated and hates the one I like.

Not sure if you are still shopping around, but thought I'd leave this here for anyone in the future—it's a blog/site that lists individuals' experiences with specific brands and models of binders and their personal specs: http://chestbinders.wordpress.com

I'm a 34D, and I use an Underworks 997 which does a pretty good job. It has the added advantage of controlling the belly and slightly straightening out the hip/waist ratio, leading to a better silhouette.

I bought it off Amazon - quick, cheap and discreet.
