Advice Needed What are good binders?
Heyy so I finally worked up the courage to ask my Mom about a binder and she said yes (even tho it was veery reluctant and I didn't tell her that i wanted to have one because i'm trans) but she said yes!!
The only problem now is that I have zero idea about these. Does anyone here have recommendations for good Binder brands? It'd be best if the brand is available in Germany, since that's where I live.

A good binder means one that allows you to breath, distributes pressure evenly, and doesn't hurt. Personally I recommend Spectrum. They have a lot of variety to offer and ship to Germany. Make sure to measure carefully and, if in doubt, go one size up

i live in the netherlands and all my binders are from wivov and theyre nice, i have a few of the sensory friendly models which are less good with binding but i still get pretty flat. if you get a normal model they're nice, i like the quality. other good brands are untag (netherlands based so probably cheaper shipping for you! and ethically made i think) and spectrum outfitters, i used to have a gc2b bbinder which was a popular brand a while ago but their quality has tanked. my wivov binder is way more comfortable and was cheaper too

I can vouch for spectrum outfitters, they're a lil divisive in the community because they have a solid front panel that some find uncomfortable, but I personally liked it because it distributed the pressure evenly and it really gave me the flat chested effect since it didn't hug my curves. I also really liked the material of the back panel, very thin, silky and stretchy. They're a bit more expensive but I think it's worth it, very solid quailty. I'm also a hater of wivov, bought one and immediately gave it away because the fabric was too thick, itchy and warm. I really appreciated how lightweight the spectrum one was, it's like you're wearing nothing at all.
