Hi, I am a 38D. I'm planning to get a new binder. Right now, from all the information I've gathered, Love boat shop and Underworks seems to be the most well reviewed binders. I was just wondering if anyone have tried any binders from Love Boat Shop? Preferably those who are also big up there. I'm a butch, and i own a binder that I got from T-kingdom. However, I am still not satisfied with what I see when i wear the binder because it's not as flat as i want it to be, and instead, it forms a uniboob. Any suggestions or reviews from anyone who has got binders from either Love Boat Shop or Underworks? Reccomendations of binders for big sized breasts would be greatly appreciated as well. Thank you very much.

Welcome to the site Zash

I'm around your size. No experience with the loveboat binders but I've gotten the tritiop (983) and the Double front (997) from underworks and my impression is this.

997
Doesn't work as well, more bounce, overall less comfortable because the bottom rolls and digs into ribs sometimes

983
Works very well, does dig in at underarms, almost entirely flattens

My 983 has lasted every day use (12 hours a day on average) for over a year. Underworks was quick and efficient. Some guys do swear by the 997 so don't let my review stop you, it's just my opinion. I've only had that one a couple months though so I don't know how well it holds up. Look up the word binder in search and you'll no doubt find reviews. Good luck

maybe that will help, I am not large though, about a B

Heya newbie and welcome aboard.
Like Andrew I've got both and I've had a similar experience. the 997 was my first one and the only way I got it to work really well was to double it up (I'm a 40-something D so I feel your pain). It worked okay at first but after a few wears seemed to be already a bit stretched, and at best only gave me weird collarbone-boobs.

Alternately, the 983 works pretty great. I still bounce a bit but it's made it so I can wear button ups and hoodies completely fine, and even some larger/odd fitting t-shirts. I push mine out to the sides as much as possible, and the only problem I've had is again with the weird collarbone lumps. Not NEARLY as bad, though, and I'd rather have weird lumpy things than discernible boobs.

Hey guys. Thanks yeah. Hmm.. I still can't make up my mind as to which binder I should get. :/ I wanna get the tritop from underworks, however, many reviews i've seen states tht it's uncomfortable to be worn. Also, as for Love boat binders, so far, i haven't seen reviews from people who are bigger in size up there. Any idea if it's suitable for people like me? :/

I wear a tri top and don't think it's uncomfortable.

Hey, my thread might be of use to you: https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,92241.0.html

In short: I'm an F-cup and think my LoveBoat binder is amazingly comfy.

Thank you guys so much for taking the effort to reply yeah. I really appreciate it. And, Xyrenth, which binder are you using from loveboat? The jerseyMesh? It seems pretty comfortable by the way you described it. But, how well does it bind? &, it would be great if you could post up some pictures of it. If you don't mind, that is. Thanks alot.

LOVE BOAT ALL THE WAY!

they are so comfortable you forget youre wearing them.
plus you can wear one layer and look great.
even a fairly tight one.

but with underworks you def need to layer and even then it's no where near as good.

I have a pic of my loveboat ill see if i can find it

Love boat



Underworks



the underworks one bunches up and makes them look like boobs  -  love boat makes them more peck shaped if anything is visible

Wow, i can see the difference. If you don't mind, Xander, may I know your chest size? :/

Wow Xander, thanks for sharing! That's awesome! I second the "can we know your chest size :/" and what model binder did you get from LLB?

I'm a 34DD and can review 4 for you.

997 from underworks.  Argh.  No.  The medium was a little too big and it's just uncomfy.

From loveboat:
The new jersey mesh ($35 or so) in Large.  Just put it on literally 5 minutes ago but I love it.  Flatest I've ever been and it's pretty comfy.  It is NOT as comfy as the LB v-neck (L as well), but I'm a bit flatter.  It's more comfy than the high performance (???I think, the $54 rounded neck) which I also have a large.   The downside is it's pretty short.  I'm 5'4 and it fits ok, but any taller than me and you might have issues.  Would be great for shorter guys who don't want anything digging into their ribs/waist.

I'll write a big review for everyone but I like this jersey mesh. It's not as stiff as underworks but it's closer than most loveboats.  It's like a short 997 with velcro that has a bit of stretch.  Wider coverage than my other loveboat binders and I don't have any underarm or uniboob going on.  I wouldn't exercise in this one, like I would the v-neck but for going out and actually trying to wear a t-shirt, this is SUHWEEEET!  I'll get a pic later or tomorrow

i think i'm a B or C
if i can locate a tape measure i'll check for you guys

i bought the high performance binder from love boat and it just looks like a rash vest. nothing like the 997 at all.

Xander, sorry if you already explained this, but exactly which Love Boat one are you wearing in this pic? Thanks!

High performance binder.
Best thing I ever purchased.

EDIT - Might just add that if your boobs are bigger than mine it may be worth while going for the full length because sometimes I feel like i need a little extra room for my boobs to spread.

Thanks to everyone that posted about the Love Boat ones. I finally ordered one yesterday just for special occasions. I hate to have anything "binding" on on a regular basis but everyone seemed to say those were comfortable so I think I could deal. I like the velcro factor too cause even getting in and out of tight fitting tri-tops is a pain in the ass!

Thanks, Xander! & lilDoberman, do post up the picture. It's greatly appreciated. Am still stuck between Love boat's jersey mash and high performance binder.

Sorry for my filthy mirror; I really do clean it sometimes.

997 medium


High Strength (v-neck)  Love, love, love.


New generation mesh.  Like it but it's a tad short and the velcro is a bit wonky.  Pretty darn flat though.


So yeah, there's no way to get rid of these huge things but I'm flat enough that I can cover it up if I want to.  Mesh is flattest, v-neck is most comfy.  Good luck

Awesome!! Thanks so much lildoberman, I've really been wanting to get the 2nd gen jersey mesh, but haven't heard much of anything about it. I will definitely be getting it in the next month or so now. Yay!
