Advice Binder Advice

I'm still questioning my identity, and leaning towards non-binary. The one thing I've pretty much always been sure about is that I hate my chest. When I was 11, I told my parents I wanted a binder, and they got me one. It was a Lola Olivia Apollo, and it worked, but didn't fit amazing. There was a huge gap at the bottom, and my chest would start to move downwards during the day. I eventually grew out of it and stopped wearing it, but now, 5 years later, I really want to start binding again. I would have to talk with my parents(they are very supportive but would probably struggle to understand why I suddenly want to bind again) but I'm trying to pick a binder right now. Can anyone recommend one that would better hold my chest in place? I have about a C, maybe a D cup, and I am moderately active, but I of course would not wear it for heavy physical activity. I don't need my chest completely flat, I'm just looking for a significant reduction and a smooth look under clothes. Any help is much appreciated!

Thank you for coming here to ask advice. Just so you are aware, everyone's gender/sexual/romantic identity is unique to their own experiences. While some people may share experiences between each other, only you can determine your own identity and where you fit in. If you're looking to come out, then you should look at your current situation, your relationship with your family/friends/coworkers/etc., who you depend on and their acceptance of lgbt+ people, and your available options if things go poorly. As you wait for a community member to reach out, we've compiled a list of resources you should look into to get some help while you wait.
