I'm snooping around for a binder, and I need some inside info. Right now I'm poking around lesloveboat. I like both the strapless and the pullover, but I can see a downside to both. Velcro wears out and loses hold, but cloth stretches out and loses compression... I'm looking to get the longest use for my money, and I'd like something that's going to hold up to pretty constant use. Anyone with info would be greatly appreciated! TIA

I'm not permitted to bind, myself, but going by reviews the strapless binder is really great and velcro binders in general are awesome. When I finally manage to get a binder, the strapless one is on my list.

Also, you might want to check out sohoeva-they're a brand new site that sells a strapless pullover binder for $15. Some people think they're a bit risky, but they're worth a try.

I have the strapless from lesloveboat, but I only have it because I was having a bunch of problems with scarring on my upper back (don't want to get into why) and I felt like it would be necessary for my skin to heal. My shoulders have gotten much bigger and anything with straps would hug them too tightly.

I wear a small and sometimes I have very little problem with it slipping down when I wear it; other times it'll slip down several times a day and I'll have to constantly adjust it. It binds fairly well, but I have a problem with the binder not hugging close enough to every part of skin it covers and therefore I can often see a box indent beneath my t-shirt if I'm not wearing an undershirt over it.
