Make sure you are taking the correct measurements for the band you are about to buy.
As with any product we carry, please use with safety in mind.
· For folks under 18 it is best to take the binder off after 6 hours and never wear it more than 8. If you can safely take break during the day while wearing that is even better. Even taking a 10-20 break while in a bathroom or any private space. can help lot. Giving a gentle massage while it off and light stretching can also help.
· Never sleep in a binder. This is one of the most important safety concerns for binders.
· Never double bind
· During the heat of the summer, it is easy to overheat in a binder so try to wear breathable clothing over them

Things to look out for:
· pain in the chest, back, abdominal or shoulders.
