Did you remember to measure your size?
By measuring yourself carefully, you ensure that the size of the Binder is correct and you avoid unnecessary returns.

This is how you bind securely
-
Choose the right size
Never intentionally order a binder that is too small! The binder is designed to flatten and is sized for its purpose. A binder that is too small does not flatten more effectively, but the binding result may be uneven, lumpy, or the tissue may start to fall out from the armpits and hem. A binder that is too small can cause discomfort or, in extreme cases, even a health risk.

Binder shouldn't be hurt
Binder is supposed to fit snugly, but never cause pain or shortness of breath. You should be able to move and breathe freely with the binder on you and it shouldn't dig into your skin. If you feel unwell or short of breath while using Binder, take off the binder and wait for your feeling to improve. If the feeling of malaise recurs, consider a larger size.

Take care of your body
Never sleep with Binder. It is recommended that the binder is kept continuously for a maximum of 8-12 hours. If possible, take days off from bandaging to allow your body to rest. Also remember regular stretching and body care to avoid neck and shoulder stiffness. Breathing exercises can prevent pain in the accessory respiratory muscles.
