Transgender Elastic Breathable Half Chest Binder

As you can see in the first picture, the binder I received was incorrectly made with the hooks facing the wrong direction. It's still usable it just sticks out on the side a little weird so I wanted to keep the binder and get a correct one. I contacted the seller asking if I could keep the incorrect binder and get a discount on another one and they said I could keep it and they'd send a replacement for free. While I was at it I noticed the small size was a little tight for my liking on the largest set of hooks so I asked for a gray size medium. The second picture shows them both so you can see the size difference. The gray one is perfect and I wear it on the 3rd smallest set of hooks for a some binding but not too tight. I can go tighter or looser as needed. For reference I'm ~100 lbs and 5'1" and my chest size is 34". My cup size is somewhere in the B/C range. This meant I was between small and medium and based on reviews I got small, but for me I needed a medium. I can wear the small but the medium is more versatile for me. Now let's talk comfort and binding ability. This does not bind as much as my GC2B, and you can't expect that. However, I prefer binders with hooks so if I need a break during the day it's so much easier to unclip for a few minutes in the bathroom then reclip than totally undress to pull it off over my head. I have another binder from somewhere on Amazon that's a long piece of elastic with three rows of hooks. It's pretty good, but the elastic likes to roll up at the bottom a bit which is a little weird to wear. I'd say this one is better. The mesh back is nice and feels really cool and interesting and it's just so comfortable. With tight things like this and even stuff like socks you get those lines in your skin from wearing them for a while. With this binder there are almost no lines on me when I take it off even after 6+ hours. I've only seen a tiny line under each armpit and a little mark on the side with the clips. To me this seems like it's digging into my skin less which seems like a good thing. Again, you won't get as much bind as a GC2B, but this does better than a sports bra. The one "weird" thing is that because I have it on a fairly tight set of hooks the mesh that covers the front bunches up a little on the left shoulder strap. This is only a problem if you wear a tight shirt or you're shirtless I suppose. It looks a little weird but you can't see it under normal clothes. This is just what will happen with multiple rows of hooks I think, so I'm not sure there's a solution, and again it's hardly a problem. With the mesh material I was afraid it was going to rip, but I've worn the gray one for around 24 hours total (over a period of like 3 weeks) and it looks like it's still fine. I wash it with my clothes on normal settings but I hang dry it. This binder is amazing, at least for someone my size, and I'd highly recommend it.

I got the biggest size that was supposed to fit, a 4xl, and my breasts were still hanging out of the sides. Waist band barely closed and it didn't even flatten like it was supposed to. It was well made and the quality was great. It will probably work for people who are smaller, but for people who are bigger with large breasts I wouldn't recommend this product.

I may have gotten a size larger than I need, but nonetheless, it fits well! If you want extreme flattening, these will not do the trick, but they flattened a bit more than my sports bras usually do! You may still want to wear slightly loose clothing, or dark clothing in order to hide the odd bumps from how it flattens (it's a little odd, but not horrible), but it's virtually invisible beneath my shirts! I got it in white, and it rarely becomes accidentally visible. I've been able to wear shirts that I wasn't able to before, and for a good price! It's also not uncomfortable, in that you feel breathless or any real pain when wearing it for long periods of time (I've forgotten I'm wearing it repeatedly). If you're looking for something cheaper than other options or something to start yourself off with, this could work for you!

I bought this when I was uneducated on binders and just needed one for the meantime, it felt nice to wear and it was good for temporary use but I strongly advise you get a binder that doesn't have a zipper or any form of clips, it is not good for your ribs. The quailty of the fabric is nice and stretches very well, the clips you could not feel on your side when you have a binder that fits your measurements. It was very easy to wash and doesn't take long to dry

This binder is great. Probably most comfortable binder I've ever used and better than any sports bra. I am 5'7", ~125lbs, 34B and I chose size Medium. It is a bit longer than other half binders I have worn before IN A GOOD WAY!! It properly reaches the bottom of my ribcage, so there is more room to evenly compress without too much pressure in one spot. The side clasps are great for getting it on and off by yourself. There are ways to make it tighter or looser with the clasps depending on your body's needs. It is nice to have control over how much compression the binder provides (i keep mine on the 3rd from tightest, and I still get a nice, flat, chest). Arm holes are roomy and prevent chafing..Also that mesh on the back?? Super breathable, huge difference from other binders. Hope this helps someone! Good luck everyone, you are beautiful and valid.

I had a lot of hope for this based on reviews I’d seen despite being a cheaper binder. The pro: * the fabric feels nice, cool and comfy. The cons: * I have a small frame (32) but a large chest (ff) so normally a small would be a little too tight on me. The product fits far too loosely and like a sports bra, only providing as much compression as a cheap Walmart compression bra, even on the tightest clasp on the size small. * The actual binding area does not cover my whole chest, so if you are smaller framed but with a larger chest you will have a lot of spillage, mostly up top, and very minimal compression. * The shape overall is also lopsided and again if you have a larger chest, compresses more on and leaves a noticeable indent where the strip that provides “compression” is. So overall: * For the first time out of every binder I’ve ever purchased over the years I recommend sizing down, unless I personally was just unfortunately unlucky with the sizing. * If you have a small chest, between a and d this will probably be great for you. DD and larger, honestly although more expensive it’d be better to go with underworks or gc2b to avoid going through the same dysphoria induced mini breakdown I did over the fit lol *If you are similar to me up top this might be nice to have to wear around the house with a very baggy shirt or hoodie, somif that’s what you need great. But if you’re looking for something that actually flattens you for public wear this is not the binder.

So first up, I am kind of between medium and large, so I went a size up and got a large because, y'know, asian sizes, you always go a size up. I am now confident I could have managed a medium, because I can comfortably wear this at its very tightest setting, but I'm very happy because: This is the MOST comfortable yet MOST effective binder I have worn in my entire life. And I've tried Underworks, Gc2b, and one or two others. This doesn't result in any weird shelfing, it doesn't hurt my shoulders or armpits or create bulges at the armpits, it doesn't bite into the skin anywhere, and I've accidentally fallen asleep in it because it's legitimately more comfortable than a sports bra. Yet it completely eliminates the appearance of boobs (well, mine, I'm a large B cup, maybe a small C.) I don't need help getting it on and off because of the side-closures, there's no rib pain, no back pain, and it doesn't make my back sweaty. Every con I assumed was "just part of wearing a binder", this doesn't have. Next binder I get will be another one of these. I cannot recommend enough.

I want to first state that I have lost a LOT of weight since I have first ordered this particular binder, the size might not be accurate for me anymore. I as well have large breasts, making binding much more difficult to achieve. I do not personally enjoy the clasping on the right side of the binder, I do not think that is very safe for binding (I read something like that online, might be completely wrong). Leaves a HUGE opening in the front, very disturbing for when I wear shirts that are a little snug. Makes binding obvious if I am not wearing over-sized shirts or hoodies. Spilling underneath the binder always happens after wearing for a long period of time, that is certainly a surprise for when taking it off...
