My new binder has arrived. It is fabulous. I can easily get on past my shoulders, I'm not having vast difficulties in breathing in it, and I've definitely been flattened out. Admittedly, there are some weird bulges around the edges, but my shirts and sweaters will cover that up. So excited! But, I'm not going to make the mistakes I did with the last one - essentially, refusing to take it off ever. Nope. This puppy comes on for work, and goes off at the end of the day. Except tonight. Tonight I'm going to put various shirts over it and admire myself in the mirror. Vain? ->-bleeped-<- it. I want to look into the eyes of my enemy and smile at myself. 

Manually adjust your chest after you get your binder on and you might be able to cut down on the weird bulges. Layering a tanktop or something under your top shirt and tucking it in tight also helps.
