Binders: why and how!

I just had my TT 12 days ago. Does the binder help with swelling? Mine doesn't cover the whole abdominal area - if I wear it up to my bra line, then from under my belly button down is not covered at all. If I wear it down low, the opposite happens. Do/Did you all have a larger binder? Should I look for one that covers the whole area at once? Maybe I should just buy a full length girdle from the store? And, again, what is the real reason we need a binder? Thanks so much!
