Kannon, although they aren't in North America it may be worthwhile filing a complaint with the BBB. I did that with regards to Mango and it had an interesting effect and response.

Yeah, I should do that. I contacted paypal. I know t-kingdom is a member.

Well, the size range has improved over the years. They do have customization for your exact meausurements, but there is a charge for that, yes.

DapperButch 06-25-2011 01:10 PM

Hi, guys. Just wanted to say a couple of things. One, my binder did come from T-Kingdom the other day and I am pleased with it, as usual. I have found through trial and error, that with the T-Kingdom binders that I need to go down one size for a correct fit. I don't know if others have this same experience with them, but for what it is worth, that is my experience (and I am not one who tightens hys/her/his binder to where hy/he/she can't breathe, either...I am not looking to "pass", I just like a flatter look to my chest). It was model 801 and I found that the fabric in the back is thicker and more solid than the last 801 I purchased about a year ago.

Additionally, I did order from another Taiwan based company, Kuya (I am pretty sure it is Taiwan), through the site I posted the other day (http://www.lesloveboat.com/shop/index.php?cPath=78), just to check out their stuff. I ordered the High Performance Velcro Short binder, as it has the highest rating for flatness and ventilation. As a side note, I looked to see if Kuya had their own site (in case I could get the binder for a cheaper price), but couldn't find one.

The positive about the Love Boat site is that they have sizes up to 46-48 inch chests. Although T-Kingdom makes larger binders than they used to, you have to go custom if your chest is more than 40-42, according to their sizing chart.

I will let you guys know what I think of the Kuya binder.

I would like to hear if others have experience with other companies besides the couple we have already discussed, as it is nice to have reviews from people you know, prior to purchase. Binders are so f*ing expensive and in some cases, not refundable.

Thanks for posting these up. Which kind did you order?

Please give us a follow up review when you get them!

I actually was able to get them in the local sex shoppe store. We have enough transmen in LA that they do now have a very small section for us. The nice thing is they have a pair of each size to try on so. Luckily the ones I was interested happen to be the size medium. The large they had to try on were I believe the commando ... they were a jock strap style. I didn't mind them but my preference is for the trunks. So that's what I got and they seem to be great.

I am an inbetween size I think the medium is 32 to 34 and the large 36 to 38 and of course I run 34 to 36 so it was nice to try on. Due to the material and since they were for packing purposes I opted for the smaller size.

I've only been able to use them once though since I got them. They mainly are for social times out. In the sense that when I work I don't pack, it's just easier not to. I have a peeing device I just roll i put in a piece of cloth with velcro on it. Attach to the band of my underwear and roll the band over it a couple times. With all the outdoor elements when peeing on my job it's just easier not to have to deal with a packy.

I'll give you an update later as I wear it more. I need to use them a few times to give an accurate analysis since i'm not use to packing these days.

Nice product line. What shop in LA? I was at LAX yesterday with a ridiculous delay and would have loved to shop in town if I knew that I would have had the time.

The only thing that does not appeal to me would be the logo.

What is the spandex/lycra blend on the fabric? I dont pack all the time but when I do I want a secure fit.

I've seen the link before and it looks cool, but isn't that material the same/similar material that under armour uses for their workout shirts? If so, even if it keeps your body dry from sweat, it starts to stink pretty fast. Plus I can't see myself buying a week's worth, lol.

I'd be more inclined to save for a pair if it could be used instead of a harness for a hard pack. If they came out with something like that in trunk form instead of jock form, I'd be on it like crazy, lol. Hmmm...maybe I should contact them about that :D

The Oopster 09-12-2011 10:20 PM

I see the questions i'll answer at the end of the week when i have hopefully a couple days off. I really haven't worn them much because it is easier to not pack in the forest and since i'm mostly working or at home they have been stowed away in the drawer!

Yeah, the link's been dropped here a couple of times. Personally, I think it looks amazing, it's just a matter funds for me right now. Although I've heard people rave about it, I don't think I've heard from anyone who's actually ever ordered one... So anyone here who has it should speak up, imo :p

Maverick 06-06-2012 08:03 AM

I bought a Peecock a few months ago and used it once. Unfortunately, my partner prefers a larger package than it provides and didn't get much out of the play part of it. I am a smallish person, height-wise, and didn't enjoy the packing experience since the length flaccid is the same length erect. I felt like it moved around too much and wasn't comfortable for me to wear all day. I guess if you wear tight fitting underwear it would be ok but I'm a boxer briefs person so there's just too much freedom for it to move in there. As far as peeing, I think it's a good design and, although I only tried it a few times, it seemed to work fairly well. Also I purchased their harness and I think it's totally worthless, but that's my opinion. Others might love it.

Personally, for me it's a no go and I'd be interested in selling it for half what I paid for it. Like I said, I used it to play once (with a condom), and packed with it part of one day. It's been sterilized and like new. Anyone interested let me know via private message and I can give you more details about it.

Thanks, Maverick

Maverick 06-06-2012 11:15 AM

Here is the link to the product I have:

http://www.peecockproducts.com/index...d&productId=10

It can be used with or without a harness just like any packer except to use the pee function it needs to be up against your body obviously, so a pouch system doesn't work for it. The one I own is the 5.5" in beige. It comes with a velvet bag to store it in and the insertion rod to make it erect. I didn't practice much but I think the pee feature is very easy to master compared to others. Like I said, flaccid it's the same length as erect and the insertion rod does not change the girth very much at all...mainly keeps it erect. I had no problems using it for play other than the fact that my girl likes a longer, thicker cock and didn't find it adequate.

I paid $139 for it and would like to sell it for $70 + $10 shipping if anyone wants it.

Thanks, Mav

Replacement for Frog Bra?
 
Hey, guys. I know that some transguys/genderqueers prefer sports bras to binders, or want to take a break from them, sometimes.

Many miss the Frog Bra. I came across this on my travels. It doesn't have as much spandex as the Frog Bra did, but it does have the full back and is advertised in the FTM section of Underworks.

Swimming
 
Hi, all. I heard about this swim gear for FTMs/butches who have not had top surgery. It is an alternative to the Underwork's one.

http://www.danae.info/en/female-male/swimwear

I would suspect that the Trans-vormer 305 would give the best compression as the zipper in the back would ensure less stretching. The only thing is, it is not common for a swim suit to have a zipper (especially those worn in the U.S.)! I noticed it looks like it has shorts, but the description says it is without shorts, so I guess they just put them on the model.



What I personally wore before top surgery was a women's competition swim top under a loose fitting sleeveless rash guard. The swim top didn't bind, of course, but the loose rash guard helped with disguising my chest. I will still wear the rash guards even though I have had surgery. On the bottom I wear board shorts.

http://www.rashguardshirtco.com/product/4106.html

Your mileage may vary on the items above, just thought it may be helpful.

Where do I start. Let me say this for the bigger guys don't try the mid drift tank tops binders they only roll up on you. You have to buy the full torso binder. After buying it I threw the others away. You will fill way more secure,and wont have the worry of pulling the shorter ones down all the time. Whatever you do don't ever put them in the dyer. Lay flat to dry on top of your dyer.I hope this helps a few peeps.

EnderD_503 04-03-2014 05:34 PM

Personally I used to love the tri tops and its all I over wore before surgery. They did roll up a bit, but for me I just never liked how constricting the full-length binders were. Also found that the full-lengths also rolled up, but just felt more uncomfortable when they did because then the material roll would just rest right across my stomach. I should say though that the main reason I didn't like those factors in the full-length is because I often had quite a bit of problem with bad stomach pain and the full-length wasn't great for that. I imagine it'd be better without the pain, though.

The tri top was my binder of choice too, prior to surgery.

EZP STP
 
Hey, guys, so I finally got this STP in the mail. It took 19 days in the post from Australia and about a month for it to get made. It is just a one man shop, made by hand.

I am very pleased, even with how expensive it ended up being (around $250.00). It is light, it can be worn without a jockstrap/harness/etc., and works!

Finally a STP that is comfortable and is not huge and heavy!

Now that I am out at work, I want to start wearing something in my pants. Until now, I only packed outside of work.

Very realistic looking. I am pretty sure it could pass at the urinal, although I don't know that I would ever try that.

http://transthetics.com/

He only opens up for orders after he gets done a batch of 15-30, which is every 6 weeks or so. Last time he was open, he got 30 orders in 5 hours. I was # 15 and I ordered within the hour of his notice he was open.

That was about 6 weeks ago. He says it takes about one day to make each one. Silicone is hard to work with. If you put yourself on his mailing list, he will let you know when he will be taking orders again.

What do other guys use to STP here?

The Oopster 04-06-2015 12:27 AM

does anyone know if travelmate is no longer in existence?

I have a variety of products and i'm having the best luck with theirs. The devices with the wider mouth (the go girl and the whiz) just aren't working for me.

Anyone use the she wee? It looks like it's sort of in-between?

worse case scenario I will just have to make my own.

is the base very wide. I'm having problems with the ones with a wider base.

It's strange because it use to be the other way around but my medicine spoon ones I have had better luck with lately

Is the plastic harder also? by problem with the soft ones are they get bent out of shape. I need something easy to carry and discrete where I don't have to worry about having to change my undies!

I've been using my travel mate even at home just to make sure i'm good with it and haven't had any problems

Hey, man, I just measure it for you. The width of the mouth is around 1 inch. That is close to what the larger medicine spoon are, I think. The length of the STP is 6.5 inches, which I really like. The other ones I have tried are too long. It is nice to have a short one if you want to keep it in your cargo pockets. It is very hard plastic. I think it is worth the $12. Google it to see if you can find it cheaper with free shipping. I was able to get camo color off their site. I see they now have black, so that is at least better than only having pinks and blues before.

The page I am linking shows the product really well. You can click on another page to buy.

Thanks that helps a lot! I'll order one or two and give them a try. Never hurts to have them tucked everywhere since I work outdoors. In fact I might even have or two of my others hidden somewhere undiscovered. most the width and the hard.

I had some real problems last year and I'm determined not to have to carry extra underwear this year! I almost was tempted to buy depends to line my underwear with!

Jesse 08-06-2015 08:52 PM

I've ordered from TranZwear twice now and am happy with both purchases. That said, it took approximately 3 weeks from order, to delivery. I buy the Champion Athletic Performance- Boxer Briefs with the Snuggler insert. I like that I can "drop my junk" in the pouch and go about my day without having it ride up, or having harness lines and discomfort. There is also no worry about your junk hitting a bathroom or locker room floor when urinating or changing clothes. I also like that the pouch is sewn in along the manufacturer's seams, so it is not noticeable on the outside.

Okay so my turn LOL

Any of y'all used the GC2b binders? Are they as comfortable as the reviews say?

I am looking for another binder that binds better on top since I am a pretty large chested fellow. So any feedback is welcome!

DapperButch 01-10-2016 06:06 PM

Follow up. Alex made a new model, with a bigger mouth and a .5 inch longer. It is absooolutely fuckkkking perfect.

Now since he moved to the states, it is only $225, including shipping.

It is worth it guys....no harness and to be able to pee quick and easy is great. You don't even feel it in your pants when you are wearing it. Light as a feather.

There is no wait to get them anymore, either. He hired someone to help him.

They are ridiculously realistic looking, too.

Logicaly 05-06-2016 11:43 PM

I just recently got a GC2B binder and oh man is it ever amazing! Yes, everything they are saying about them is true. I have never had something fit so comfortably before and the compression is amazing for as loose as it feels. I seriously can not suggest this binder enough, and I wish I had discovered it years ago.

It is so comfortable that I eventually forget that I am wearing it. I was able to do yard work in the hot sun while wearing it, and because of how comfortable it was, for the first time in over 10 years, I was able to do wear just a tank top, instead of having to wear a more covering shirt. Also, if you keep an eye out, they will occasionally pop up on amazon where you can get them for free 2 day prime shipping.

Best thing I've ever found! Might mention they're $35/$37 in bigger sizes, and have half tank size and full length (down to hips) and come in at least white, black and grey.

Binders...
 
...can anyone could use a couple of just about new Underworks binders?

White chest-binder tank and black Tri-Top chest binder. Pretty sure they were XL - see their site for sizes. Tank rolled up from my hips at the time, and black was less useful than white for me. So both were worn 1-3 times.
Just had top surgery, so they are free to a good home!

Now that I am out at work, I want to start wearing something in my pants. Until now, I only packed outside of work.

Very realistic looking. I am pretty sure it could pass at the urinal, although I don't know that I would ever try that.

He only opens up for orders after he gets done a batch of 15-30, which is every 6 weeks or so. Last time he was open, he got 30 orders in 5 hours. I was # 15 and I ordered within the hour of his notice he was open.

That was about 6 weeks ago. He says it takes about one day to make each one. Silicone is hard to work with. If you put yourself on his mailing list, he will let you know when he will be taking orders again.

What do other guys use to STP here?

It was actually 30 hours in 5 minutes!

He now has The Rod. It's amazing.
