What kind of binder do you have? Underworks or T-Kingdom? I've heard T-Kingdom usually lasts a bit longer than Underworks.

I've had several binders since May and they're holding up well.  Mainly because I can rotate them.  I'd guess they're ready for replacement when they're too loose and don't do the job.

Mines an underwords tri-top and only have the one D: lol

seems like drying the underworks ones burns them out QUICKLY.

Yeah, air-drying binders is best.  I accidentally threw mine in the dryer (Underworks muscle shirt) & the material definitely compresses less now.

Ah! That's probably it then, still binds but it makes breathing differcult
Cheers guys.

Dono.  think it depends also how much it's having to compress.  Mine don't last very long.  Then again because of my body shape have had to alter some of them and that can weaken them.  I've found the tritop has lasted longer though.

I always hand wash/air dry my binders because I heard it makes them last longer.
