Okay, I'm looking to buy a binder, and money isn't an important issue so I'm able to buy from underworks, etc..The problem is I have no idea what I'm looking for. I don't know the right fabric, the right effect or anything like that. I want something that can get my 'tumors' away as much as possible. My chest size is 41 inches (which would be around 104.14 cms for those everywhere else but USA). So does anyone have any idea on what would be a good binder to buy? Or if not, ones that did or didn't work for you? Any information would be good

What's the measurement around the widest part and the measurement right under your lumps?

Under my tumors are around a 34 inches

Is your chest really dense/firm or droopy?

I would go with the 997 (double front) or tri-top

Droppy? Haha I don't really know the answer to that xD
Okay
I will try that out then :3

Yeah, 997 or 983. As Nygeel stated lol

997 seems to be the usual "starter" binder, it seems to work for most people, but don't expect it to be infallible. It doesn't work great for me except in certain hoodies, if you get it and it doesn't work great (and you want to keep it) try flipping it up over itself, it might work a bit better.

997 doesn't work for me so well, the 983 works better for me. My problem with the 997 is that I have larger stomach and hips so what fits for my chest doesn't work for my stomach and the reverse is true too.

You'd fit perfectly into a large v-neck high strength from Les loveboat as well   It's my favorite.

Okay well to give more of a description of what I look and what I need xD I'll just say.

I do prefer binders to go all along my torso
But that's because I'm just use to that kind of binder (Although like I said. Not really a binder as it doesn't really bind..)

And my hips and tumors are around the same width.

There's a dip between my stomach and chest.

My pant size is 34"

xD
So if this helps at any. I was just looking and I saw a few people put down more of their body type and thought I might as well just say mine to help out.

Thanks for the help

I really, really don't like the underworks binders.  They're itchy and dig into me.  I'd get home from work, strip it off, and be raw.  It seems like they make them different now?  I haven't worn one since 2006ish.  I switched to the Nabay shirt.  It's made out of a nylon similar to stockings and is insanely comfortable.  It took a while to break in the arms, though, but it stays put and clings to my hips, binding them, as well.  I had similar measurements to you when I first got it, and got a medium.  If you or anyone you know can place the order in Japanese, I say it's a must have.  Pricy, but worth every penny.

Does anyone know what's up with  Nabay? I checked out their site and was super excited to see a rash guard binder (currently needing one badly) but every single one of their products is listed as sold out. What's up with that?

Haha I can finally put my Japanese to the test xD
But, what would be the size I need in Nabay? (BTW looks like a very cool site xD)
I think I would need a Medium?
Is that correct?

Nabay shirts used to come in a larger array of sizes, but they also used to let you email them if you needed a size not offered.  It cost more, but it was there.  Don't know if it still is, and I can ask if you want, although if you know Japanese you're better than I am since I know kana and an entire three kanji 

I emailed them about placing an order, and this was their response (translated with google and a bit of editing by me):

I did place an order with them on Thursday or Friday night, since I got nervous with my LoveBoat binder being stuck in Customs for three days (it's since cleared) and I'm waiting for paypal to release the funds so they can ship it.

Basically, go to the url mentioned above, and click "Online Shop".  I found it easier to do in Google Chrome since it gives you the option to go ahead and translate the page.  Once you log into paypal, though, it'll be in your native language.

I have a 35 inch waist (at my largest recently I was a bit over 40 inches) and bound in the nabay I'm 41 inches in the chest, and I wear a medium.  I probably should have gone up to a large, but I'm starting to lose weight pretty fast and didn't want to have to shell out the money for another one so soon.  They are pricey, but they are awesome and totally worth it.  When I placed my order it was $144.14 with shipping.

Hope that helps!

The long sleeveless binder from Nabay is $140. For that much it better be the ultimate binder that's comfortable and makes your chest perfect.

LOL!  That's what I said, but considering I was bleeding everyday when I took off my underworks binder, I was willing to test it out.  And, for me, it is.  It's lasted for years, and could last a bit longer, but I don't wanna push it.  I can run in it without getting odd looks, it doesn't ride up, and the only rolling it does is where it's just a tad bit too long, but it's still not uncomfortable.  In fact, I use that slight bit of roll and keep my stp there.  When it's new and not as old and worn out from stretching it 2 sizes beyond where it should go, I could wear tight t-shirts and no one batted an eyelash and I passed 100%, even after only a few months on T and no noticable changes.

Yeah, I've tried two underworks binders. One is amazing and made from a different material then most but it doesn't do anything. I still have to wear XL shirts when I really only need to wear a S or M because when I duct tape I can wear that. So I know that binders are actually suppose to get me somewhere.  The other binder I got from there was way too small and gave it to a friend to use, and the material didn't see that comfortable. So, currently Underworks doesn't seem that amazing...

With NABAY though, I'm wondering really how effective the binder is. Right now, I'm just worrying about the effectiveness rather then how well it feels.
Although those Rash Guards seem amazing D:
I wants one xD

And now I'm having trouble ordering from NABAY xD
I get to the registration parts and I can't get away from the filling out somewhere in Japan, when I don't live in Japan...
So I'm still a bit lost on where to begin to order .-.
I went to the Japanese site and the mobile site and still keep getting the registration parts .-.

Hmmm...what's your chest size?
