Underworks Discount Code: under10

Just tried this code and it does work. 10% off Underworks products. I can’t afford to buy a new much needed binder. But you guys have at it. Again 10% OFF Underworks binders with code under10

Reblog as somebody needs to save a couple bucks off a binder.

So here it is my review and pics of the Les Love Boat Juuya Strapless Velcro Binder!

First Some info!

Bust size: 46 inchs the large goes up to 50 inchs

Height: 5’4

Weight: 222lb

Bra size last I checked: 40 D

Pros:

-Easy to put on

In comparison to other binder styles like the Underworks Tri Top and 997 it is much MUCH easier to put on. I had some help from my partner (who took all but the bathroom pic) the first time,but since then I’ve gotten into it super fast and easy. As a chronically ill person with pain issues getting into the pull over style binders can often be to hard, but with this one I should be able to comfortably do it on all but my most painfull days.

-Strong Freaking Velcro

They were not kidding when they said this velcro is strong.I really had to put some force into it the first time to get it un-stuck.So far it has not come undone even a little bit.

-Insanely Adjustable

-CONS

Armpit Irritation

The ridge on it hits me right in the armpit which can be pretty irritating and it will also most likely get filled with sweat there so some baby powder along that area is a must.

No idea how to wash it!

-Still Can see Chest Shape at Times in Some Shirts

The red tank top is a women’s tank top so it is cut more close.But you can still see the side outlines of my chest,not as noticeable but still there.I’ll buy a men’s tank and see if that is the same.(Probably not). It took a lot of moving around but by the time I got to the Bathroom Picture I had turned it around so the velcro part was in the front and had re-positioned my chest to smooshed-together-up instead of the typical underworks -down -and o-ut and that helped a lot.

- Creasing

The material under the chest line DOES crease fairly fast and some of overlap fabric seems to want to roll.

-Cost

At 50 some dollars after tax and shipping this one was the most expensive of my binders.I will once I get more money buy one of those waist cincher wraps they sell in Wal-Mart’s work out department to see how it compares.

Over-All

This is over all a really great binder.It does what it is supposed to do and it is easy to get on.If you have issues getting in and out of pull-over style ones this, if you have the money is a great alternative.I’m at the top end of their size scale so people smaller then me will probably not experience the same problems I did with it (chest out line,creasing) It is wear able under tank tops, just not very tightly cut ones(womens) unless you want some side chest to poke out.A mens cut tank should have you at no chest visible.

So there you have it, a strapless binder on a fat person.

Strapless Binder Odyssey

So I ordered it. I am a 47 inch around so I ordered a large size of the Les Love Boat Strapless Velco Binder.

It should be here in 7-14 days.

According to the site it fits chest up to 50 inchs so I have some wiggle room.

If funds permit I may also get one of those ab binder things from wal-mart for a try out to see how it fits and works in comparison along with a few other things I’ve seen out there.

Because I’ve yet to see how these types really fit on fat bodies and work with clothes on fat people so here goes!

I found custom binders for $10

Ah ha! Step in means step into the bottom part!! This is the video that saved me from being a Silent Hill monster forever trapped in a foggy binder other world of flailing limbs.

Underworks 997 Review:Now on Purpose!

So I recently purchased my very first ever binder. Up until this point I had relied on sports bra’s ranging from one that was to small and cheap, to an ultra comfy one with padded freaking straps and space age moisture wick fabric and one that did a good enough job but after several hours of wear would smell like cat pee no matter what I did.My cat did not pee on it though.Perhaps it was the material?
So after mustering courage I asked my partner if they would be ok with me getting one(we are a bit tight on cash and it wasn’t a necessity at the time,just something I wanted.REALLLY WANTED but didn’t NEED like you know food or hot water) we looked over some options and pricing and such and came to the conclusion Underworks was the best choice for our finances.Les Love boat has some AWESOME looking binders but 60 some bucks a pop plus shipping was just to much.

So I ordered,with many recommendations the 997.
Info Dump: I’m fat person.I’m about 220 lbs, 5’4 and have in bra size 40D queerjugs.

Also WARNING: Clicking on Silent Hill Links is Scary you guys so do so at your own descrition!!
So with a little help from my partner and no thanks to the cat we busted out the measuring tape and measured.I came down squarely into the LARGE size.I was really expecting to be an XL or even 2XL so I was suprised a bit.It shipped SUPER CRAZY FAST.

I then struggled for a nearly an hour to get the thing on.I got my head in it but my arms stuck which resulted in me looking like this silent hill monster. I flailed my now creepy torso around a bunch and after some doing managed to free my self.I then tried the “step into it” methos.I stepped on into the head hole and pulled up.And pulled and pulled.Only to get my arms trapped around my sides now looking like this Silent Hill Monster. I wadled around sadly,spraying police women,and wandering husbands with my acid from my chest hole errrr I mean I waddled around my bedroom, hopping around trying to get free.
Finally I looked up how to put on a binder on youtube and viol! I was supposed to turn the thing UPSIDE DOWN and step into the BIG PART so it could slide on itself.
I did that and it worked!

I was nearly 100 percent flat.My chest in the binder looks like I have pecs, or queerjugs like Capt Kirks Circa season 3 and sometime in some shirt I look like I have the pecs of Zak Beggans from Ghost Adventures!
So here is the breakdown:
Cost:5/5
Shipping Speed: 5/5
Ease of getting on: (before youtube) 1/5 (after) 3/5
Flatness rating: 4/5 (not 100 percent flatness,more pecs then boobs/queerjugs)
Material: 5/5 (I feel like it is some sort of magic kevlar or mythril, super light but hard as dragon scales)
Comfort: 4/5 (I’ve only worn it for short periods so far) Not as comfy as say nakedness,but more comfy then a bra,less comfy then my ultra lux sports bra.

So overall I’d give it a 4/5.

Looking for a decent binder for my extremely large chest…s.

Um.

So.

Are all trans* or genderqueer people, or people who just want to bind, slim with small breasts?

Is that a thing?

I guess that’s a thing.

Current mood:

Not around here they aren’t! Try an underworks 997! I have in bra-boob terms 40D chestmonsters and a large smooshes those puppies down to the point where I only look like Kirk in his slightly pudgy season 3 stage.Also cause it is long it smooths my hips a whoooole lot.I also find it to be pretty darned comfortable for wear and man it makes you stand up Spock straight.

This has a been hopefully helpful and Trekkie Nerdy post.Annnnd an inadvertant review?

➜ Fuck Yeah Trans Fats: Binding A Saggy Chest

fuckyeahftms:

Hello all, I’ve got a situation going on. I’m a fella with a gut (thanks T) and a saggy chest looking for a new binder. My current go to binder is the underworks 997. I love it to bits but want something a bit more comfortable. I’ve been looking at esha and…

(via nooffswitch)

Anonymous: <p>Hey! I’m realizing more and more that I’m genderqueer and that I’d really like to explore how I express. So it’s time to buy my first binder! Whee! I have a 36DD chest. I’m looking at the Underworks Extreme Series Ultimate Chest Binder Tank Double Front Compression Shirt 997. Yeesh, that’s a lot of terms. Okay. Since I have a 36 chest, it says to get a medium. But my cup size is insane, so should I get a bigger one? Do you have any ideas for other binders for large-chested people? Thank you!</p>

Okay, so the thing about measuring at underworks is that the number that goes with your size isn’t just your band width (36, for you). Here’s what they say: “How to measure: First take a snug measurement under the bust line with a tape measure. Next take another measurement over the fullest part of your chest. Again not too tight but not too loose. Take the average of theses two measurements and apply the result to the scale provided below.”

That average will, obviously, be larger than 36. So check that out- if I had to guess, you’re probably a large.

As for other binders, the 997 is your best bet from underworks. (Though, it depends on your body shape. If you’re more curvy, stick with the 997, but if you’re more straight with less tummy fat, you might consider the 988.) For people above a C cup, t-kingdom really isn’t worth considering. At lesloveboat, look at the o-neck (http://www.lesloveboat.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=78) or full coverage (http://www.lesloveboat.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=77_66&products_id=239) models- because of the size of your chest, you don’t want to get the ones with less coverage up top; you’ll spill over the sides. Search around the site for something that looks good for you. Any Juya or Double Collection binder is going to do as good of a job at compression, if not better, than the underworks.

No matter what site you use, look at the size chart specific to that site! Lesloveboat works a little differently than underworks, though often the sizes match up- I’m a medium at both sites (36C).

Stay excellent!

Binding!

So a lot of us fat genderqueers bind or want to.But sizing,info etc can be a challenge.So for the sake of everybody does anyone here have some good sites,sizes,size charts etc for binders whether you use a sports bra or compression?

I want to try and make one big ole huge handy dandy post on sizes,prices etc.

Unless something like this already exists?
