If you even want to experiment with binding, you've got to buy a breast binder that's actually designed to be a breast binder. People have gotten hurt from commercial binders (generally rib injuries, not the skin and tissue problems), so you've got to be careful about safety with them anyway, but commercial binders are still much safer. | If you even want to experiment with binding, you've got to buy a breast binder that's actually designed to be a breast binder.

For people who have breasts that are about C cup size or larger, there are really only a few binders. Which also happen to work great for people with smaller breasts. It's just that these are the best binders that actually work as ''binders''! (A lot of the binders that only work for small breasts are like that just because they're poor binders that don't have any binding power.) Here's a list of the binders that consistently get the best reviews. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages: | For people who have breasts that are about C cup size or larger, there are really only a few binders.

'''The "Tri-Top style 983," by Underworks.'''

It doesn't have any fasteners. You put it on by stepping into it and pulling it up. Putting it on over your head requires a lot of agility in your arms, which can get tangled in it, but some people who are wider in the lower part of their body find that this is easier. Either way, try practising by putting on a normal tank top over and over, thinking carefully about how you're moving your body to do it. Think of putting on the binder as like putting on an amazingly intractable tank top. It's very, very difficult to put this binder on over your head when the binder hasn't been broken in yet. After it's been broken in, and after you've had some practice, you can get so that you can put it on as quickly as a bra. | '''The "Tri-Top style 983," by Underworks.'''
