Review any binder/binders you own or have owned/used before here.
Try and post as much information as possible. Here's a general guide to help you out.
Style:
Manufacturer:
Size:
Price:
Body type:
Comfort:
Binding:
Overall:
Do not use ace bandages/duct tape (or tape of any kind) for binding. Ace bandages constrict with movement, and can cause a lot of damage including fractured/broken ribs. Tape does not allow for any movement, and can cause skin irritation, rashes, skin abrasion, etc. No matter how desperate you get do not resort to these measures, and do not under any circumstance recommend binding materials that can be harmful to any member of this guild.
Binding with proper garments alone can cause serious health problems. Bind at your own risk, but please take the dangers into consideration.
Some of the dangers are bruised or cracked ribs; lung problems; back problems; vessel or tissue damage; decreased blood flow to heart (increased risk of heart attack); decreased lung capacity; blood clots; inflammation of the ribs; permanent loss of sensation/numbness among others.
Do not bind too tightly, or for too long. Never sleep in your binder.

Style: Tanktop
Manufacturer: Underworks
Size: Small
Body type:
Comfort: pretty comfortable
Binding: Binds the chest and waits some, and to the hips
Overall: I got the binders cheaper on Amazon.com. Spending about $20 some instead of $40 some off the Underworks sight.
I usually end up wearing 2 at teh same time. They do tend to streach out over time.

Non-Adult Situation Hmm haven't tried one but thought to get one. (Sadly they aren't for heavier people) I'm heavier, hence why I need to wear 2 most the time, and they streach out after a while. I have double D's, and not sure how much I weigh but latley it's past 170. My weight kinda goes up and down. I gained weight since I lost my job and hadn't gotten out as much.

Style: Double front compression shirt (997)
Manufacturer: Underworks
Size: Medium
Body type: Little on the heavy side. When I had this particular one I was about 200 lbs and I am 5'2", now 185 lbs
Comfort: Comfortable, though it had a tendency to ride up a lot because of the extra length, and my torso isn't very long in general.
Binding: Decent amount of binding
Overall: It's alright, good for the price, but if you have a large chest or are larger in general I recommend getting two for the extra binding.

Style: Power compression vest (Double layer)
Manufacturer: Underworks
Size: Large
Body type: 185 lbs, 5'2", on the bigger side
Comfort: Very comfortable. It has hook and eye closures in the front so it makes it very easy to get on and adjust, unlike the 997.
Binding: Too big for me, so the binding is sub par. About the same I'd get from two tight sports bras. It's fine for the winter when I wear layers, though.
Overall: Probably my favorite binder so far. The hook and eye closures are the best. I've had it over a year now, and it's starting to fall apart though, good for under $40 all in all.

Style: Double Front Compression Shirt ( the 997)
Manufacturer: Underworks
Size: Small
Body type: I'm 5' 8'' and 140lb.
Comfort: Great. It's never given me any pain and doesn't feel restrictive. I've found that pulling it down and underneath the waistband of your underwear completely fixes the problem of it riding up. Getting it on and off takes a little working out for the first few times, but once you get your technique it's easy.
Binding: Very good. I'm able to wear what I like without worrying how my chest looks.
Overall: Overall, I love it and never leave the house without it. I'll be getting the same type to replace this when it wears out. I've had this one for around seven months and it's still going strong.

Style: Tank top
Manufacturer: Mansculpture
Size: Medium
Price: $43
Body type: Slithly wider than average
Comfort: Not comfortable at all
Binding: Full torso
Overall:
This thing is a waste of money in my opinion.
I got it because i was curious about the new company, and it was a big mistake.
They boast that it doesn't roll up, this is a lie. It's also way too hard to put on, even with the proper size.
I know my binding vest size, it hasn't changed in over five years.
The fabric barely stretches, which makes it constricting, and the seams on the sides cut into you.
The arm holes shove all of your excess skin and fat at the armpit area outwards, making you look horrible if you're not in an overly baggy shirt.
Do NOT waste your money. Only reason I still use it is because my other one fell apart.

I think I'm going to look into buying a Peecock Products binder.

I had to cut half of it off in order to even put it on without my partner's help and being in major pain.
