- when someone catches you putting your binder on
- when you try putting on your binder after a shower and you’re still kind of wet
- people asking where your boobs went
- not getting the right size
- seeing the binder through your shirt
- SUMMER
- the constant doubt that your chest is lop-sided
- having to exersize with one on
- those terrifying seconds/minutes when your stuck half-way in your binder
- roll ups
- back pain

Generally speaking, I think people just get one which you can wear for a few days until it needs to be cleaned. Obviously you should clean it more often if you’re sweating a ton (yay summertime), but once a week or so is pretty good.
I also know some folks who have one that fits really well for everyday use and then one that’s a little looser so they can give their back a break once in a while from all the intense compression.
Anyone able to help this person out?
Sunny S Tank Top Binder – General Info
This is a review video of a binder from a Japanese maker called Sunny S ordered from The SLG Store. In Japanese it is referred to as a “ナベシャツ (nabeshatsu)” and it is designed for female crossplayers (females cosplaying as male characters). I ordered mine in a medium and it cost 3,000円 (31.94USD at the time of my purchase). My entire order (of three items) took two days to be processed, shipped and delivered. This binder is essentially a tank top with a binder built-in. It hasn’t been warm enough to wear it on its own much. Sometimes I wear it under T-shirts when my primary binder is being washed. I have had it for about a month and the material is all still in great condition.
I ordered and received a gray binder. The binding area is made of very breathable mesh that is not stretchy. This is a hook and eye binder that fastens on the right. The hooks wrap around from the back over the front panel, which consists of three columns of eyes.
The Good
This binder is extremely comfortable and doesn’t restrict my breathing, which is great for those who have respiratory issues (such as myself). When I wear this I generally do so for about 12 hours (from when I get dressed until I shower and bathe in the evening. The breathable material makes it a great option for hotter weather since my primary binder holds heat like crazy. It also may be more suitable for exercise, though I haven’t worn it enough to say one way or another.
The Bad
It’s a pain to get on. I have to struggle and twist my wrists and look in a mirror and basically battle the darn thing to get it on because the fabric has absolutely no give. Obviously, this is annoying. But it’s worth it in the end. I’m also not crazy about the shape of the shirt, but that’s just a personal preference.
You kind of need to be able to read Japanese to order it. If someone finds this product on a site with English info, please let me know so I can update this information.
Image Info
I have included images of the binder showing the front and back of the tank top, the front and back of the binder , the hook and eye system and the binder material. I also have included images of the binder being worn alone and and a set of comparison photos. I wasn’t able to take more because I didn’t have any more time before someone came home. As the images show, I have a very small chest (thank goodness), but there is still a definite difference.

Okay so I got a new binder and decided to do another comparison review. These are my before and after shots with my new tri-top from underworks. It’s a large but surprisingly pretty good! I’m much more confident with this one on now.

EW. I actually can’t even look at this anymore, because how gross is that… Sorry, old binder…
my befores and afters! my binder is an Underworks 998 I’m sure. I cut the sleeves off though cause they were kinda tight and i cut the neck line so it wasn’t so visible but hell, it binds pretty well!
does anyone else use deodorant on their underboobs? cause I do, and it’s awesome.
yeah i have to because otherwise my binder’s even sweatier and grosser.
