have u ever made a post with like, the pros/cons of different binder lengths? i'm a but overwhelmed with the options and really anxious i'll order sth in a certain length and then later find out that a different length would actually suit my needs better bc i have no sense whatsoever of how different lengths can have different experiences
Let’s see if this helps!
Crop top
Pros: Light, least sweaty, no roll-up.
Cons: No tummy bind, no tuck-in to the waistband, risk of popping out the bottom. (To mitigate this risk, add 2″ to your length measurement.)
Full length
Pros: Full coverage, light tummy bind, no chance of popping out the bottom.
Cons: Sweatier, risk of roll-up. (To mitigate, be generous in your waist measurement.)
Extra-long
Pros: Full coverage, usually strong tummy bind, possibly light hip bind. Tucks into the waistband for sure. Unlikely to roll up when tucked in.
Cons: If it does roll up, it will be SO uncomfortable. Sweaty in warm climes. More expensive ($20 add-on).
Extra-long outer layer only
Pros: Very unlikely to roll up! Light material covering all the way to the hips. Tucks into waistband.
Cons: No tummy bind, no hip bind. More expensive than standard ($10 add-on).
