There are several ways to put on a binder. Some people find it difficult because binders can be tight and not always easy to put on. Here are two methods to help you find the best one for you.

Method 1: Inside Out

1. Choose the right size: Ensure your binder fits well. A well-fitting binder provides the best support without being too tight. Unsure about the size? Contact us.
2. Hold the binder correctly: Hold the binder by the bottom and turn it inside out.
3. Pull it over your head: Put your arms through the armholes and pull the binder over your head. Carefully pull it down until it fits snugly around your chest.
4. Adjust the binder: Make sure the binder is evenly distributed and not twisted. It should fit comfortably and snugly without causing breathing issues.
5. Check the fit: Ensure you can move and breathe freely. The binder should be tight but not uncomfortable or painful.

Method 2: One Arm First. See the images above.
