Yeah, I know, a regular topic, but I want to be certain on anything.

I'm gonna purchase me a couple of binders from Underworks, and I'm not sure about sizing. I take a 34B, so what would work best - a small or a medium? I want to be able to actually get it on (and yes, I know they're all tricky and first), but I also want it to be tight enough to work.

Any advice from the guys who know about this stuff? I don't want to waste my money on something that doesn't fit right.

For 34B I'd say medium. If it doesn't fit you can return it within a few weeks for a smaller size.

I live in the UK. I want to be extra sure about this, 'cause shipping costs a pretty penny.

I'd say it depends upon the rest of you above your waist. I'm a 38A and I have to wear a large.

I don't know about their sizing and such, but I've always gotten the smallest sizes available of things and usually they're not too bad. (I actually got that Frog one people keep talking about from Title 9 last week and it's very easy to put on for a small, just not the most comfortable thing after ten or twelve hours stressed . )

If you're getting more than one maybe get one in each size? That way you if you fit in the small then you have a more relaxed back-up size and if the small is too small then you haven't wasted too much money on it all.

Best of luck!

My upper body's pretty scrawny, especially around the shoulders.

I'm thinking Thambos' suggestion sounds like a good idea. Might as well hedge my bets a little, and see what works.

I buy from underworks and am able to wear both small and medium comfortably. I am a 36D. Hope that helps.

D: honey its on the underworks site

weird I never realised the FtM part of underworks was so.... secret/backdoor/underground/notlistedontheregularsite :/

Notes On Binders:

1. 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. Each item has a different scale based on the elasticity of the fabric used and the cut of the garment, so please pay attention to the sizing scale for each style.


so for me its like this
(Bra size = 34D)

underbust: 30
bust: 35/34
average: 32

and so if I wanted the Double Front Compression Shirt [first on the page] I'd get a small because its for 32-34

you just need a measureing tape, or string and a ruler ;3

Hey, thanks for that. I was sure there was sizing information somewhere, but my ability to ferret it out temporarily failed me. I'll take it into account.
Though judging by the sizes others are taking, it sounds like a small is the best bet for me anyway.
