The primary function of breast binders is top support and protect. The mammary gland is an organ that lacks muscles and, because of this, lacks fixation. It is supported only on the pectoral muscles through ligaments that are not very powerful, which are the Cooper ligaments and is a fibrous tissue that needs an external agent such as the bra for support. If not properly supported, over time, these ligaments will break down, which can lead to swelling, stretching, and pain. This support becomes even more important during pregnancy and after surgical procedures such as breast augmentation and c-sections; and while a standard bra does provide adequate support under normal circumstances, it will likely not provide the support needed during these situations. That’s where breast binders come in, providing a wide array of benefits including:
- Increased recovery
- Pain relief
- Enhanced support
- Maintaining proper body shape
Now while using any breast binder is better than no breast binder at all, not all breast binders are created equal, and it is very important to make sure you find a high-quality breast binder to provide the support you need. Here are a few key points to look for in a good breast binder:
- Straps must be straight
- The back of the bra should not go up the back, but should be horizontal
- The ring must be flat in the thorax area
- The bra has to cover the entire chest
- Must have more than two pins
- The straps must be two fingers wide, at least
- Designed for FTM transsexuals, tomboys, Ts, show lesbian or stage care, or as a sports bra, strong chest support elastic band, make chest flat and cool.
