I do up and out to the sides, but my friend who is also large chested prefers ‘down and out’.

I wear v-necks the majority of the time and you would just believe I was wearing an undershirt. I can eat as much as I want and there is no pressure on my stomach. It has Velcro fasteners so putting it on is easier the over-the-head binders. It’s like wearing a high compression bra. The bottom of the binder doesn’t dig in my sides or armpit.

Very comfortable, can go the whole day with it and completely forget I was binding.According to the measurements on the Underworks website I have the right size for me, so I think it’s just a factor of the design versus my chest.Ĭup & band size & chest measurements in inches at time of use: 40C or 42 chest I won’t be able to wear this every day, and I don’t think I’ll be able to wear it while doing anything very active, it cuts in too much. This looks like under-arm fat, which isn’t nice, and the arm-holes themselves are digging quite uncomfortably into these rolls of tissue, bringing overall comfort down. My big problem is that some of my chest tissue has been pushed out of the arm-holes and I can’t seem to adjust myself in any way to stop this happening. The top stops at the base of my ribs, so doesn’t compress my stomach at all, which is good. When I first put it on it made my back ache and my breathing felt constricted, these both passed within a half-hour or so, and I expect were factors of being unused to wearing something this tight. This is my first binder, so I have nothing but cotton sports bras to compare it to, but I’m not finding it very comfortable.
