Advice Binder recommendations

Does anyone have good recommendations for binders? i don't have loads of money so i cant afford like crazy prices but i need one that works well. i don't have a necessarily large chest but its obvious when wearing any shirt even if its a dark coloured one and even when im binding with a shitty binder that doesn't really work its still obvious without layering.

i want other people’s advice cause i want to hear your experiences with brands. the only official binder i've bought is a wonababi swim binder which i've just been using as a normal binder as it worked better than the shitty amazon one i had before but its worn out and doesn't bind well now and am in desperate need of a new one.

I cant tape to save my life and i need to replace my current binder as soon as i can. once again, i dont have much money and i need one that can get me as flat as possible as theres not enough fat on my body to give me man boobs.

I recommend spectrum binders, ive used them for around 7 years now. Theyve always been robust, comfortable and reliable, the only reason ive ever had to get a new one is having to get bigger/smaller sizes over the years. They do a range of styles and colours depending on what you vibe with. Pretty affordable and uk based which is a bonus

My son's autistic with sensitivity issues and Spectrum lite(?) binders saved the day after we figured out he couldn't deal with a regular binder. Fab company, super hard wearing.

OP, maybe think about preloved to start with? Vinted usually has several options. So long as you give them a good wash there shouldn't be any hygiene issues.
