ftm so I wear a binder all the time. I've only ever used TKingdom, but I
have a friend who had an underworks one and he got serious back issues
from it. To be fair, I have a pretty bad back these days too, but at
least I don't have stabbing pains. He's changed to TKingdom and says
it's a lot better.
Their quality has been getting worse, though.
The first two I had were fine (I think I've had five), but the elastic
does eventually go if you're wearing them constantly. The ones I have at
the moment seem to be lasting longer and I think it's because they're
not being tumble dried now I'm out of uni. These last two, though... The
bias binding has come off and then after I sewed it back on completely
shredded itself, and the fabric is fraying across the chest too. I'm
going to be trying to make my own when I have the time.
One other
thing I'd note is that when I originally measured myself I worked out
as something like an XL, but brought an L anyway, and that still turned
out to be too big. I wear a M still and I've put on two stone since
then. For reference I think my last bra was something like 34A, so
there's not much to bind in the first place. |
