Even after getting sizing help from their customer service, I had to do three exchanges for different sizes, and even then the fit and function was merely 'okay'. I previously tried one from a competing brand, since they're located in a country closer to me and have slightly better return policies. No pain what so ever and the shoulders are very comfortable This genuinely could just be a me thing with the sizes being way too big, but if you are looking at this, and you have the funds, I would suggest getting both the size you measure as, and one maybe a size or two smaller in case.Įither way, this binder works very well, is comfortable, and is easy on my lungs and ribs. The only "issue" is that the binder doesn't fit over my shoulders and I have to step into it, although this is what the actual package says, it still slightly irritates me. I have just ordered two more recently, and now that I measure at a 2xL, I decided to get an L and an M for when I lose more weight. I cut it down to around a 2xL and it fit very well. When I first got a binder from here last year, I got the size the size chart said, which was a 4xL. This binder is genuinely the only one I've found that works well. Made the order Saturday and got it in my hand in Wednesday (I live in a Nordic country btw).Īs a larger trans man, i find it difficult to find binders that are comfortable, compressive, decently hidden, great quality, and is careful on my ribs and lungs. I chose the cheaper shipping and I got it after 3 week days. The shipping was also really smooth and fast. But it still compresses as much as my old one without hurting me or my ribs so I’m all in all happy with it. The seams around the shoulders hurt a little, I don’t think it fits my body shape to good, or maybe I should have a smaller size(?), I can easily move around in it and even stretch it whilst wearing it. I’m not the one that follows rules to my ribs are f-ed and I’d definitely be hurting by now with my old binder, whilst this one feels like a hug. I’ve worn it today for 5 hours and I feel fine. One thing that took me as a suprise is the length of it, I got an XL and I’m 173cm tall, it goes over my butt. (Granted I probably had to high of an expectation for this one) My old binder was half, so I expected my chest to be flatter then with the old one, which when I compare from memory I would say the difference is too big. This is the second binder, so I can only compare it to one other brand. My wife sent me a TikTok of a trans man recommending this specific binder and I purchased one immediately. No other binder brand I’ve tried can even compare to the comfort of this one. □ It binds me well and keeps me remarkably cool for a binder. I live in the Deep South USA and wear a cotton t-shirt to work everyday in a hot fast food environment with the binder underneath and I can feel breezes on my chest and torso throughout my work shift if that tells you how breathable it is, even under a shirt. It’s super breathable out of the packaging and softens up once you wash it a few times and break it in. I neatly fold it up around the bottom until it sits on my hips comfortably though and it’s great!! The only con I can think of is that it’s longer than I would have expected and thus digs into my thighs a bit sometimes and can be uncomfortable. I’m a heavier set afab enby with terrible chest dysphoria and a D cup chest and this works great for me!! I got the 2X size and can’t praise it enough!!
