I'm going to get a binder really soon but I'm torn between two binders at underworks. I'm between the 988 and the 997. I had no idea what size my chest was, but I went and got measured at Victoria Secret.. talk about awkward. Haha. Anyways my chest was about a B or a C, I'm very muscular and broad shouldered so I'm going with a medium. I do have a little belly though. So with that said, if I do get the 988 will it make my stomach look bigger or will it not affect my stomach at all? Any advice on that would be great. And if it does affect the belly, would it be smarter to get the 997? Thanks in advance guys.

I have the 997 and love it. I've never used or seen the 988.

Is it comfortable? Do you have a lot of problems with it rolling on you?

I have the 997 too, I think it's pretty comfortable it does roll up alot though.

Nathan.. have you ever tried or heard reviews on the 988? It's the extreme chest concealer, but with a relaxed midsection?

Edit:  Just realized how old the posts are above lol.  well hopefuly this is still useful


They give instructions how to measure and determine size here

would be better to go by it I think, and all you really need is tape measure to find your own size. 

I just recently ordered another binder though had dip in savings a bit.  my old one was getting worn, and hoping the new one won't hurt my back as much as well.  Had to remeasure as forgot my size plus have shrunk a bit with T

I have the 988. the relaxed misection is "skin-tight" (but stretchy).  so it doesn't make your belly look bigger or anything.  It's been my only binder and I like it.  no real complaints

yeh that one ordered but ended up having send it back and ask for larger one so waiting on it still.   had gotten it but because my measurements where on edge of two sizes and ordered the smaller one... it was to small couldn't get it over my shoulders no matter how did it, and even when tried step into it... had struggle get it over my ass and when got it that far still couldnt get it over the moobs and the shoulders... grr

finaly stretched it out enough to get on but couldn;t breath hardly. :/

Aw man.  I was actually worried mine was too small at first.  I wasn't sure how tight it was supposed to be or anything, so the first couple attempts of getting it on had me nervous i might not get it off again, haha.  But luckily it turned out all right.

I hope your binder serves you well and that it is shipped to you with haste

I enjoyed the 988. I wore it in the ocean and everything. Washed it and hung dry it pretty quickly actually. There were some shirts I wore that I felt uncomfortable with passing as, but for the most part it looked like large pecs, thanks God for my large shoulders. I'm thinking of ordering the 997 I think it is? Just for something to control the hip area b/c you will notice your hips a bit more when you don't have tumors on your chest.
