What kind of binder do you have? Underworks or T-Kingdom? I've heard T-Kingdom usually lasts a bit longer than Underworks.

I've had several binders since May and they're holding up well.  Mainly because I can rotate them.  I'd guess they're ready for replacement when they're too loose and don't do the job.

seems like drying the underworks ones burns them out QUICKLY.

Yeah, air-drying binders is best.  I accidentally threw mine in the dryer (Underworks muscle shirt) & the material definitely compresses less now.

Dono.  think it depends also how much it's having to compress.  Mine don't last very long.  Then again because of my body shape have had to alter some of them and that can weaken them.  I've found the tritop has lasted longer though. 
Every day we pass people, do we see them or the mask they wear?
If you live under a mask long enough, does it eventually break or wear down?  Does it become part you?  Maybe alone, they are truly themselves?  Or maybe they have forgotten or buried themselves so long, they forget they are not a mask?

I always hand wash/air dry my binders because I heard it makes them last longer.
