I got my first binder from underworks today, and while I was thrilled, I had some serious troubles putting it on. I knew it was going to be tricky the first time, so I didn't think much of it. I had a pretty interesting time wearing it, as it kept rolling, but it was far more comfortable than I had expected.
Until I couldn't get it off. I wanted to slip an undershirt beneath it because the material is a bit rough, but it wouldn't go over my rear, and I couldn't get it over my shoulders.  I spent a full quarter of an hour struggling on my bedroom floor before coming to my mom, the binder bunched in one line around my stomach. Mom thought it was hilarious. To her credit, she didn't laugh at my forlorn 'end-of-the-world' expression, or my dramatic "It's stuck!" but when she saw the binder around my ribs, she started to giggle. It only got worse as we yanked it over my shoulders, and it got caught on my glasses. By the time we finished, I'm pretty sure I heard her humming the 'boobhead' song.
  Now that nobody is watching however, I have to admit it was pretty funny. Next time I'll wait until I'm not water bloated to try things on.

Great description of what must have been one of those really frustrating and agrivating times.

Not something to forget. Be a real hoot in a few years, perhaps to tell at a party.

When I got my first one I was on the borderline between two sizes and I thought it would be better to get the smaller one. Big mistake. I nearly dislocated a shoulder trying to get it on the first time. It was also horribly uncomfortable, being too small, so I ended up replacing it with the next size up.

Yikes! Does the new one work better?
