Hi, sorry for any errors, I'm in my mobile.

I found this website looking for the best binder for someone with a large chest, but I seemed to get a lot of results that were about a D/DD with an overweight body type.
I have an E cup and while I'm not thin, I'd call myself chubby at most.
Not sure if that makes a difference when looking for binders, but I have noticed that I have trouble blending such large breasts into a not so large body.
I've thought about a binder that goes past my stomach in the hopes that will help...

Any tips for people in similar situations? Or even just feel free to tell me if I'm wrong and any of the recommended binders I've seen in other topics are still going to work just as well.
I'm sorry if any of this came off as offensive or judgmental, I wasn't sure how to phrase a lot of it.

I don't have a lot of experience with binders, I bought one from a Japanese company years ago but it did such a horrible job I sort of gave up and haven't worn one since.
I'm starting a course in February and I really want to pass as best as I can when I get there!

Literally any advice is appreciated!
Thank you!

chubby DD checking in - just started using the underworks 997 model XL (which is a bit big for me, I was right between the sizes) so maybe try that or the Large? I also have found folding it pretty much in half in on itself gives a bit less room for everything to shift around. I would also say though be prepared to suddenly really start noticing any un-evenness between either side of your chest - when everything's flattened I've found that while everything looks great in the mirror it takes a bit of adjusting not to be kinda wonky from my own view looking down.

I had a similar body shape and I found the long binders like the 997 were a horrible choice. They're a pain to get on/off and would roll up and nestle in my waist at the slightest movement. Once the thing was on, it looked fantastic, but breathing or moving was literally not an option.

I used a mens compression body suit (with the crotch cut out for easy peeing) with a short velcro binder over the top. It was one of the extra strength ones from T-Kingdom. That smoothed everything out perfectly and despite being two layers was a bajillion times more comfortable than the 997. The bodysuit was like £10 from a supermarket.

If I'd had a particularly long day it was easy to nip to a bathroom and undo the top velcro part to get a bit of a breather. I'd often undo it on the bus home, with a coat on the compression suit did a decent enough job by itself.

Thanks for the replies!
I was looking at the 997, and I have a small question about measurements.
It says a Medium is up to 99cm, and then a large is from 102 to 110
I took my measurements and I just hit as a Large but literally only JUST

Do I go large or am I better off getting the medium for a bit of a tighter fit?


A full body one sounds interesting, is the sizing hard for that? I'm really very short...

I'm a fairly skinny guy, so please take my advice with a grain of salt -- but I was in the same "in between sizes" situation (different model though, not the 997) and I'm glad I went with the larger one. I was struggling at the beginning to put it on and off. It has stretched a little now (and I have just generally gotten more proficient ) but as I also bind for a little longer than the recommended 10 hours max, I'm ok with it.

Oops
I got a little overexcited at the idea of having a binder again and went ahead and got two mediums before even reading your comment.
Now I'm a little worried!

Oh well, nothing to do but wait and see then Fingers crossed!

Interested to see how this works out for you. I've got the Underworks tri top which shows a visible rim around the neckline. And the Underworks sports bra, which flattens, but not enough (and also sometimes shows a visible rim around the neckline.  With both, I still have more than moobs.  I just look wider and a bit flatter.  Am still looking for a binder that flattens me.  Would appreciate an update on what you come up with.

Sure thing! I'll make sure to let you know how it is once I get it!

I say full body - it's like a vest and shorts, but all one piece of fabric. I'm only 5'3 myself. It looks like you've gone for the 997 though so I hope it works out better for you than it did for me!

I've got a big chest myself. I find the underworks 988 works best for me, it only gives compression on the chest and upper back...leaves the stomach loose. It's made of cotton and looks like a regular tank top. It's awesome.

I personally like the Underworks 997 myself. a little uncomfortable at times but it flattens beautifully. Im usually a size E-EE but yet my waist is pretty thin despite being chubby. however, I found it does thin your waist down a bit further again. youre best going a little larger than your measurments. 997 feels really rough on the skin however but I found i had hardly any breathing problems and moved quite freely in it (Im pretty active)

The binders came already and I could NOT be happier!
I probably should have gotten the size up but with a bit of effort I can fit into this one!
They flatten me better than any binder I've had before, in so excited!
My mum and fiancée both cried when they saw me in em!

sounds really awesome! Just remember to take baby steps when binding, bind for only an hour or two a couple days, then more and more and watch out for any pain or discomfort. Make sure you also give yourself a day or two breather from the binder, youd be surprised the toll it really takes on your body when youre not used to it

Thanks for the advice!
I did notice that after wearing for an hour or two today it got Pretty tight, I'll make sure to ease myself into wearing them :3

Thanks for letting us know how they worked for you.  997 may be my next purchase.

i had the same problem (dd, probably a d now) but my friend introduced me to the sports bra model. i like it a lot because i'm able to unzip it on longer car rides. i wear a large. *when you put it on, don't wear it as a bra; move your chest to the side.
