Binder reccomendations with zippers or clasps?

Hey so im looking to buy a binder (its not my first, i already have an underworks ultimate) but my problem is i have limited mobility (if you tell me to wear sports bras instead i will literally scream i am so busty it still looks like i have a full C cup in my tightest sports bra it does not bind me hardly at all and im tired of hearing it). Its really hard for me to get in and out of my binder, so i cant always wear it when i need to. A binder that has a zipper or clasps to close it instead of having to step into it or pull it over my head would really help me, but it seems to be a pretty hard find to get one i can afford and is safe. Can anyone reccomend a good binder?

You seem like someone who may know what they're doing (saw your post about chest binder patterns) so I was wondering if you could answer a question of mine - I'm a trans person who desperately needs a binder. I have one but it's unsafe for me to use as, due to limited mobility, the first time I put it on I got stuck and had to cut a shoulder strap to get out. I don't want to risk putting on a new binder without knowing I can get out of it. I've seen shapeshifters binders with a zipper on them and shapeshifters is from what I remember pretty reputable, so I'm assuming it's safe

Now I've written an essay of a backstory (apologies, but I felt it was necessary for context as I absolutely cannot wear another normal binder), my actual question. Could I sew a side zipper in myself (with a sewing machine)? And would it be safe? Because I'd assume it would serve the same purpose as a seam there, but I wouldn't know and this is something that is damn near impossible to find information on online

So, I've been looking around a bit and I feel like I can just summarize what I know for you to decide:

I've used a zipper in a corset (which is under much more tension than a binder), but the zipper must be metal (it's stronger) and you shoud wear something underneath as I've had my skin pinched by the zipper and it wasnt fun. But I've made it three years ago and it hasn't broken since.

I also have a sports bra with a zipper in the front, and it's really easy to put on as long as you use the hooks before zipping to pull the sides closer.

I don't know how comfortable an underarm zipper could be, the pulley is usually bulky (unless you use an invisible zipper but those are really weak). But it's also the most invisible place, as bot front and back zippers show up under t-shirts

as for adding a zipper to an existing garments, it's usually best practice to place it where there is a seam already as not to disrupt the structure of the binder

As for safety, as long as the zipper doesn't pinch you it should be fine, the only problem I see are the metal rubbing on your skin causing irritation and the stress on the seam. A few solutions could be to add a guard (a piece of fabric behind it, like in the fly of trousers and jeans) and some hooks and eyes in the most stressed places (at least the top to help keep the sides closer, I suggest also a few spots down the lenght: if you can place a hook behind the zipper you should be able to hook it before zipping and it makes everything easier, but the hook must be flat (my sport bra does it and it's a plastic hook like the one you use for taking on and off bra straps and an eye made of flat ribbon))

Another thing to consider is that a zipper isn't elastic, you should first check the lenght of the seam when worn and then match it to a zipper. If possible when installing it you should unpick the stitches in the seam instead of cutting straight down as it's important to keep the right size .

If you need any help feel free to send me a message!!
