  Hii, 'tis Jeremy here. I'm planning on ...well, I am GOING to buy a chest binder before the new year. Probably as a christmas present for myself. I've heard really good things about underworks But I trust all of you guys, and would like to know what YOU think. So I have a couple questions that I hope you don't mind answering. 1. What binder out of all sold here http://ftm.underworks.com/Would you recommend for a slightly-heavier dude with like, D cup breasts. Maybe a little bit smaller than that, but whatev. I was thinking about getting the full body, just to smooth me out everywhere, but I'll leave it up to you. 2. Is the quality very good? The prices are unbelievably perfect, and that can be too-good-to-be-true sometimes. 3. Do you have any pictures wearing an underworks binder? Any of them at all. mmn...That's about it. Any other info about them would be great as well. Or recommendations for other brands. Thank yoou. <3

I have the power compression vest one. . . double layer. I'm over a D cup and it goes a smashing job.
I've also found the quality to be amazing. I'll be ordering a few more for myself for Christmas.

I have the double front compression shirt (first one listed) and it works great, and I think my larger-chested friend has the same and works for him too. It definitely makes me flat, and isn't too uncomfortable.
HOWEVER:
~The fabric is kind of scratchy, and doesn't breathe like cotton would.
~It tends to roll up, causing much pain on the a**/hips.
~Honestly, it doesn't do much to stop MOVEMENT, even though it makes you quite flat indeed.
Hope that helps you with your decision. If you really, really want a picture I could post one, but I won't unless you really, really want one.

I have both the Double Front Compression and the Tri-top binders, and wear both at once as I have a pretty big chest - wearing just one doesn't quite flatten me out.
They work pretty well for me this way. I can recommend them as being pretty damn comfortable too, considering the squishing of your ribs.
Oh, and if it helps any they both arrived very quickly with no worries - I live in Australia, too.

I use the Double Front Compression Vest. It's damn good and very comfy, but it doesn't get me completely flat, and I'm a B cup. And it is annoying when it rolls up on the hips and you have to go to the toilets to pull it down again.
Now, to be honest, I think complete flatness is unfeasible for most people anyway - you can't make mass just disappear, after all - but the Double Front seems a very popular and effective make. I'd just suggest teaming it up with a good thick sweater or jacket, since a binder alone won't entirely disguise your chest, and does nothing to get rid of wide hips.

Can anyone tell me how the binders arrive? Like, the address on the box/ etc.
My parents aren't. . . approving and I'd like to know if ordering one direct to my house would raise any outward trouble.

They arrive in a fairly ambiguous white plastic packet. Unfortunately, I believe the packaging does state what the contents are, though it's not in a prominent place.
Put it like this, I didn't order any until I left home, since my parents almost certainly would have intercepted the parcel and demanded to know what was inside (or, if they'd read the contents note, what the hell a binder was).

I sent my first one to my job at an LGBT youth center...if you want to send it to someplace that isn't your home then it all works out good.
I think the number is 997...double panel blah blah...it holds me in fairly good, sometimes I do feel that I start to grow a side-boob because things tend to move and poke out of the arm hole.
I think I'm around a 36 D? Hell I don't know I've been wearing no bra then sports bras the majority of my life.
Warning: 997 does roll up, and like it was said before it does hurt around the hips. I don't know if there is a way to modify it for length or anything. I tried to wear my binder on a 4 hour car drive. I wanted to die! But at least my chest was flat >.<
Does anybody else using that one notice that when they wear it they have to ehrm uh defecate more?

Well- if it hurts around the hips and stuff, would it be better to buy the full-body one? Or... Would that not flatten the chest enough? XD I love all this help. It's great <3 Thank you guys!

Spatterdash ...and does nothing to get rid of wide hips. Actually, it kind of does. I've noticed that my decent-sized pants will come close to falling off when I wear my binder, but then again I have to pull it down past my a** to make it even fit right... sweatdrop Spatterdash They arrive in a fairly ambiguous white plastic packet. Unfortunately, I believe the packaging does state what the contents are, though it's not in a prominent place. Ambiguous, yes, and, well, hmmmm, I don't remember it saying what it was or where it came from. And then when I opened the package it just said the model number on a sticker and it was folded up. It was a little shocking that it was just the shirt with some plastic wrap and no receipt or washing instructions or anything. But yeah, I checked a few times to make sure that no one in the mailroom would have known what it was, since it was sent to my dorm and I had to personally pick it up and sign for it at the mail window. sweatdrop Maybe you could order some CDs or other clothes around the same time and just excuse it as that to your parents??

While it looks like it might help with the rolling up in general (I was going to sew something similar onto the bottom of the double-front shirt since it reaches that far down on me anyway) but it could very well still roll up a bit on the sides. I think it's just going to be what happens with the kind of fabric it is. But another hypothesis is that it might hurt more the wider your hips are... It might be worth finding opinions from some thinner guys too... sweatdrop

I'm not sure what you mean by 'fullbody'. The one I use goes down all the way to the top of my thighs when pulled down properly, it just rides up sometimes when I sit down.
Thambos: now you mention it, the same thing's happened to me. It's actually a bit of a pain since none of my trousers fit very well around the waist at the best of times.
And I may be wrong about it saying what it was on the packet, I did order some shirts from another company at the same time, and I may well have got the parcels confused.

I just took these pictures and they're terrible but I hope they help.
I have 2 size small Double Front Compression Shirts.
The first one is white, and is apparently an old model. It's longer than the newer black one I have, and made of a different material.
From the front - pulled down so you can see how far it goes down.
The side
So you can see how far it goes down from the side, which is pretty far on me.
The second one I have is the same model only newer and black. In my opinion it's more comfortable, less scratchy and it binds better. However I seem to have a little more back pain and... I feel like I need to pee all the time. :/
From the front - pulled down so you can see how far it goes down.
The side
So you can see how far down it goes from the side.
-I have had trouble with both rolling up; When I tuck them into my underwear they stay better.
- I haven't had problems with hip pain or it cutting int me, but I know others have. If I just keep in from rolling up, it doesn't hurt.
- The only pai problems I do have as I said, are sometimes lower back pain, and feeling like I always have to pee.
-It does significantly flatten out fat guts and thighs under clothing. :]
- For more compression, I used to fold my old white one up over my chest and pin it so that it only went down to about my ribcage. I've done it a few times with the black one, but haven't needed to as much.
For reference I used to be around a C and now I'm a medium B. I think.]

How do packys come packaged in the mail?
