Ask a trans person!

[JDeere]

Any of y'all know where I can get a good binder, nothing super expensive, I am big chested and need another binder. I have 2x right now but its not enough compression on top.

Any idea or suggestions?

JDeere, you will find more information on products for FTMs if you look at this thread: http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...read.php?t=608 rather than looking through this one.

If you read the OP, this thread is supposed to be for general questions from non-trans people. I know that trans guys have also come in here and asked questions of other trans guys recently, but I think you will get more answers from transmen if you make a new thread, or use an existing one. The title of this thread is actually a "carry over" from another site, so I think a lot of old transguy members pass by it unless they want to answer non-trans people's questions.

With that said, let me see if I can help.

There are two binders that I would say are by far and away the most popular binders, due to how well they work, but also lower cost than other quality binders. They are made by Underworks and have been around for many years (you may already know about them):

The above is what most people call the "997".

This above most call the Tri Top.



Typically you hear of heavier guys preferring the full length one because if they get the tri top the compression causes their stomach to push out more.

The only other company that I have consistently heard people like is lesloveboat.com They are more expensive though, but a lot of people find them more comfortable.

I used the Tri Top for many years, prior to top surgery.

What brand(s) are you using right now?

"The Trans Zone" isn't used often, so I would love if it became more active.

Glad you came in because it seems like most of the transguys that come to BFP and post in this Zone are members who have been around for many years. it is good to get new blood (testosterone infused or not! )

Oh crap my bad! I didn't think to read the OP but now I know!

I am wearing an underworks style 473, I actually won it in an online contest. I think I might need to switch to the 997, no tri top for me cuz I got the bulge going!

Thanks again for the help, I am going to look into getting a 997 and see if that works.

Here is another up and coming binder. I would say outside of Underworks, it is the only brand I have seen a significant number of transguys say works for them. It has only been out for the last 4 months or so.
