Does anyone know of any good binders on amazon? That will allow your ribs to also be safer? I'm looking for a safe binder but have never done this before....i'm just wondering if you know of a good binder If u could send the link or even the site address thanks
I've been warned by several people on here and other sites not to use amazon binders because they can be unsafe, though they are considerably cheaper. I know Underworks binders can be a little more expensive (mine was around $40) but they are way safer and worth a little extra money.
I think Amazon sells Underworks binders, but don't invest in the super cheap ones from ebay because those can hurt you. GC2B also has some great stuff for pretty good binders as well.
To both of you (I'm looking into a binder too) When you say Underworks, do you mean this company? FTM Chest Binders for Trans Men and Cosplay from Underworks - F2M Binders
Underworks: Men's Compression & Women's Shapewear: Girdles,Maternity,Post-Surgery | Underworks - Underworks GC2B: GC2b FTM and transgender male Chest Binders -------------------------------------------------- OP, if you do get one from amazon, make sure you do invest in a good one. Sometimes you do have to go more expensive in order to get a decent one.
Loveboat also sells great quality stuff, but they're more expensive. The best part is they sell a lot of different types of binders; from zippers and pullovers to strapless and velcro. - LOVE BOAT Chest Binder www.lesloveboat.com/shop - Love Boat Shop
I can't speak for a lot of binders available on Amazon, but I definitely agree that GC2B binders are really great. I find Underworks binders more awkward to get into and out of and overall a bit less comfortable (although I will say they bind the most effectively out of all the binders I've owned), whereas I can easily forget I'm wearing my GC2B binder a lot of the time. I've owned a few cheap binders from Amazon, and they were all pretty awful. Either they were uncomfortable, didn't bind well, or they were of bad quality and broke (which happened to my only comfortable and effective one, haha). But yeah. I'd avoid things by Ancient Fish King or similar (the binders most easily found on Amazon and Ebay) and go for something by Underworks , Les Love Boat or GC2B - they'll last you longer and be better for you.
How much does GC2B binders cost for someone with DDs? Underworks are hard and awkward to get into at first, I had to have help for the first five times till it stretched out. But at the time they were the only ones I really knew and my cosplay friend recommended them. If they were easier to get in I would really wear it more. Sorry for thread stealing ;-;
The long tank-top style ones are $33, I think? I couldn't recommend them more if you can afford one. You can literally just pull it on over your head, and the fabric isn't all rough like Underworks binders so it's a lot kinder on your skin - most of it is basically stretchy spandex-like material (I don't know how they manage to bind so well with a stretchy back, but my lungs are super glad about it).
