Underworks remains my binder of choice and I've started using their cotton/lycra based binders. These have been working well (a beard has also helped) and are very comfortable. The roll-up issue is reduced. A trick is to also wear a shirt (like an A-shirt) under the binder. I've found this to lessen the roll-up effect. Additionally, making sure the size is right and not going for the ultimate compressing one helps. Those, I find, tend hurt too much and sizing better helps reduce that as well as reduce the roll-up effect.

I've had a few ask me what an A-Shirt is. Here's an example: http://tinyurl.com/4gc7uwb

Same site as weatherboi's, however a different style. It is called "show it" and there is a pouch in front where guys put their junk that lifts it up to give a sense of "enhancement". It looks as though it is deep enough that a small packy (one of the 3.5 inch ones), could fit and not fall out. Watch the video to see the pocket itself.

(click on one of the pics and you will see video bottom right)

I like the look of the other ones more (wider waistbands), but these are a bit cheaper.

But, I digress. I found it interesting ... thanks, Alpha

The rod looks to me like it would hurt too. So I'm wonderin about that. Plus they don't sell the required adhesive glue stuff.

I checked out the sites and while the products look great there's always one or two things that I don't like about them. So this has me thinking... I've bought plastics that you heat up and pour into molds to make fishing lures... I wonder if there is a silicone dildo kit or if you can buy the silicone and make your own mold (which is what I'd do). I would prefer silicone as opposed to rubber. Does anyone have any info on this? Thanks

I just bought the binder. It will be my first, so I don't have anything to compare it with but I'll let you know what I think of it. Thanks again. :cigar2:

FYI: Frog Bra is no more
 
Many butches/FTMs have used the Frog bra from title nine sports alone or in conjunction with binders. I have been meaning to come on to post to let folks know that title nine is no longer making it, and evidently, the replacement sucks according to the comments and riot over the discontinuation of the Frog Bra. Supposedly, it was discontinued b/c they were unable to get the fabric they had gotten in the past.

Here is the replacement.

thanks for this. Has anyone tried this? I gather the mid section compression would be good...but what about Chest compression?

Any feedback on the chest compression?

Blade 02-05-2011 08:06 PM

I have found a product made of X5 materials. Does anyone have any experience with X5 materials or know what they are.

Is it or does it contain silicone? The product description says...."Made from X5 a unique material with superior properties. Most importantly, it's phthalates free for safe fun.

If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

It didn't work well. I'm not satisfied w it. It's hard to put on and doesn't compress much more than a good sports bra.

It's my first experience w one so I don't have anything to compare it to. It would be nice to have one that I could put on and adjust like a vest.

What size are you? I have 4 binders i'm willing to send people. I would prefer to split them up. (That is give them to atleast 2 people)

i have a medium black and white Tri-top Chest Binder - Extreme Binder Waist Length from http://ftm.underworks.com/

I have another black tri-top that seems smaller so i'm guessing that it is a small.

I have a white Double Front Compression Shirt. I think it is also a medium.

I'm 5'8" and around 160 lbs for an idea of my size and i think the small was when i was around 140 lbs.

If I needed any, anymore I would be tempted to get the Extreme Chest Concealer FTM Chest Binder Extreme! Chest Only Compression! Relaxed Mid-Section!

kannon 02-19-2011 11:12 PM

I'm not sure what the double front compression shirt is but it sounds good. I'm short but pretty stocky - about150. The small one i bought might be too small. The binders are really hard to pull over my shoulders and down my chest and waist. I appreciate the offer and would love to try em. I can send u my addy and I'll pay for the shipping.

I would recommend anything with double front compression. When you buy them new, it's always most uncomfortable because they are not worn in.
I wouldn't recommend putting them on over your shoulders. Try stepping into it, and pulling it up. MUCH easier.

kannon 03-23-2011 01:07 PM

I would say 60 % of people address me as a man now. I'm thinking I should just go ahead and have top surgery and get rid of 'em. I get down every time I see or am aware of them. I notice people looking at my chest in a perplexing way. *shakes head* Most of the time I can conceal them but not always 100%. It takes a combo of binding and wearing the right type of clothes. I just want them to go away. Disappear. Poof.:fastdraq:

These are impressive but so is the price.

I've found that you can end up with an adhesive allergy after a while using prostheses that adhere directly to skin. If this occurs I recommend switching off to a harness only model for a while or the jockstrap method while you reacclimate.

They would be more impressive, but I don't care for flat balls

Does anyone have a highheat summer friendly binder? I use the underworks cotton concealer series right now. But that extra layer is horrible in the humidity.
