Binder Reviews

I'm going to write a quick review of each of the binding techniques I have used and rate them out of 5 on effectiveness, comfort, cost and ease of use.

Cling Film: I used this as it was the only thing available. It doesn't let your skin breathe and I certainly wouldn't recommend using it. It can leave you with some nasty sores.
Effectiveness- 4
Comfort- 1
Cost- 2
Ease of Use- 1

Elasticated Bandages: They are time consuming to put on and take off but they bind fairly well, apart from if you are wearing one shirt, you can see the bandages. They are rather expensive to replace as well, the elastic doesn't last very long if you bind every day.
Effectiveness- 4
Comfort- 2
Cost- 1
Ease of Use- 2


T-Kingdom: These binders are great. I got my first binder here and loved it. I would recommend it for people with smaller chests. My chest is quite large so it did not appear totally flat. But it was comfortable and easy to put on and take off. It is also not very expensive. I would suggest getting two so they can be washed. 
Effectiveness- 3
Comfort- 4
Cost- 4
Ease of Use- 5


Zaggemous: These would be perfect for people with a small chest, for someone with a larger chest it is just not a good choice, but they are so unbelievably comfortable! And the boxers they make are fantastic for anyone; especially if you use a packer. 
Effectiveness- 1
Comfort- 5
Cost- 4
Ease of Use- 5


Underworks: By far the best binders I've used. I have the double front compression binders in black and white and they are so effective. My chest appears completely flat. They are totally worth the cost and last a really long time. It takes a while to get used to putting them on and taking them off but you will get used to it after a few tries.
Effectiveness- 5
Comfort- 3
Cost- 3
Ease of Use- 4
