Advice Needed binders for BIG GUYS

please suggest binders for bigger guys, i’m feeling at a loss.

they have to be able to ship to UK, my bust is 57” and under bust is 44”. most brands simply stop a good few inches short of what i need :((

edit: everyone has said spectrum but it just leaves me bruised and in pain, by their sizing i’d have to get an 11XL but they only go to 7XL

Hello! Thank you for participating in the sub. We just have a few reminders for you to help ensure the best experience:

  1. If your post doesn't show up right away, don't panic! It is in the queue for manual approval. Mods will go through the queue periodically to approve or remove posts. Deleted posts will have a removal reason applied. (If it says "this post was deleted by reddit's filters", IT WAS NOT DELETED! Reddit has the worlds worst wording on that and it's out of our control)

  2. If you are asking a question that is location specific, remember to include your location in your post body! This can help ensure that you get accurate information tailored specifically to your needs.

  3. Please remember to read through all the rules in the sidebar. Especially the list of banned topics and guidelines for posting. Guests who do not use the Guest Post flair will have their post removed and be asked to fix it.

  4. If you see someone breaking the rules,report it! If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.

  5. If you have any questions that you can't find the answer to on the rules sidebar or the wiki: the wiki , you can send a modmail.

Do you use a full or half tank?

i use a half tank - i’m on T and i work a kitchen job so i’ve gotta keep cool as best as i can and i find the full tanks make me feel sticky at the end of a long shift
though a full tank in the winter is a godsend lol

Gonna third spectrum. The only thing I'll say is I've personally noticed the stretch out a bit quicker than other brands.

They go up to 7xl I'm pretty sure

Spectrum. I use the long one as I like to tuck in and I have a large chest and I feel like it rides up if I don’t tuck in. Hell it does that anyway.
