    Hi, I really need advice on binders. Though I'm not transgender I often crossplay (cosplay as guys) and need to bind my chest. Most of the binding methods I've tried so far aren'y particularly ideal compared to binders. But I have no experience with binders of any sort and was wondering if I could get some advice on what and what not to buy. What works for you? (cosplayers, FtM, anyone)

    Also I was wondering about strapless vs. strap binders. Which do you prefer and do strapless ones slip at all?

    Thank you for helping me out!

    Underworks has some pretty good options. Another thing that you'll want to consider is if you want a long binder (which is more like an undershirt) or if you want a short binder (which is more like a sports bra).

    I've personally never used a strapless binder. I've only used velcro binders and pull over binders. The binder that I have used off of the underworks website is the tri top binder. It works pretty well and it is cheap.

    The velcro binder that I have I got from a different website. I got it from lesloveboat. I really like this because it is not as hot as the other binder. So, it's good for summer. There are a ton of binders on that website, so it's another option as well.

    I hope this helps you out some!

    I'm afraid I don't have any advice to offer but I'm a trans* guy hoping to buy his first binder eventually so I'd love to hear recommendations. :3
