Binder question

I had a regular TT almost 3 months ago, and I still wear my binder :/  Not b/c I want to, but b/c of the swelling.  They had a lot of repair work to do on me, plus lots of extra skin in my stomach area.  I'm guessing that's why.  I've got every kind of panty binder you can think of, but when you drink water all day with  multiple bathroom trips, it's kind of hard to shimmy in and out of those suckers!  And, they're so expensive, I only have one of each kind so I can't wash every day.  I wear them over my regular panties and then it's too much of a nuissance.  So, I've stuck with the wrap-around binder that my surgeon sent me home in.  I wear it during the day and then take it off when I get home after work.  Then I keep it off until the next morning.
