First Criticisms: I thought about taking off a star because of the description, but I don't think that would be fair. I do recommend the manufacturer's change the description though, it says "Wearers often include mastectomy, transgender, FTM, tomboys, Ts, lesbians, or stage performer persons"... the target demographic should be FTM people, not "tomboys" or "lesbians". Sure they can purchase one if they want, but branding it as that is kind of spitting in the face of those who need it medically. It would be like branding prescription drugs as "Often used to treat medical problems, but also works if you just wanna have some fun too!"... not very appropriate. You wouldn't see a listing for a dress that says "Often worn by male to female transgenders!", because that's just dumb. The same logic applies here. The Binder: I've only just put it on, but my first impression is it's pretty comfortable. It's very thin which is nice, because it makes it lightweight instead of hard, bulky name-brand binders that are very visible through shirts. The wide neck allows me to wear most shirts without the straps showing, which is very relieving. I like how flexible the fabric is, it compresses instead of just putting up a flat "wall" like name-brand ones do. I also really like the ability to tighten it, whilst having it on. With over-head slip on binders, my big ahh head always ends up stretching them out, so it's nice I can avoid that. So far, it is well worth the price. Although, I have a small chest, so I'm not certain on whether it would be suited for someone with a larger chest. My expectations for the durability are pretty low, though. Although the thinness and flexibility is nice for comfort, this makes me doubt it will hold its shape for very long. In a month or two I will update my review on how it holds up. Read more
This is honestly the most comfortable binder/bra I have ever worn. Straight out of the bag it fits exactly right. Pros and cons down below, but some quick raving about the product; this is the first binder I've felt comfortable wearing to work as an EMT with 12 hour labor intensive shifts. I'm an E/F cup and got the 2XL Gray and 2XL Black binders. Pros: -Super comfy and soft fabric, even on the inside/binding fabric -Fits perfectly if you use the size chart -Easy to put on (I recommend snapping the hooks and then pulling over your head as it's hard to see the snaps once its on you) -Can be worn on the looser snaps if you're wearing long term (but always do what is best for your body, if you get uncomfortable it's time for a binder break) -Flattens just the right amount, no weird bulging and not so flat it's awkward Cons: -Could be about an inch longer to account for tissue overflow with larger chested people (Leftie likes to peek out of the bottom just a tiny bit) -Slightly visible at the top with a texture line through shirt -A little too low cut, as someone with a larger chest there is about a half inch of cleavage showing, so I'd wear a different binder if I were wearing something like a lower scoop tank top. As a larger chested person, I understand the frustration with finding a binder that actually works in the right ways. This one is a great option if you're most worried about being comfortable, and don't mind a little cleavage. This binder would be most perfect on A-D cup sizes, but is absolutely doable for my brothers and siblings in the DD+ range. It binds well, is true to size, and is very soft on the skin. Read more
Comfortable, stretchy, and good quality. It made me go from a B cup to less than an A cup. The clasps are easy to attach once you get the hang of it. However when I wore it on the tightest and second tightest clasps, there was some chafing. There’s a seam on the inside of the clasps that annoyed me, and the flap with the clasps chafed my armpit. On the loosest clasps, though, this wasn’t an issue. It fit as expected, and didn’t hinder my breathing. The only time I really felt it on my lungs was when I was rushing around for a couple minutes. I recently had a good experience with this binder. I wore it with a sweatshirt and jeans. I also put on some makeup to make me appear more masculine. Now, I’m tall for a woman and have an androgynous voice. However, I also have long hair and very feminine facial features. I went to a coffee place to order a drink. When I finished, the barista asked me, “Is there anything else, sir?” I’m not out of the closet yet, and this is the first time I’ve ever been gendered as a man. It was an awesome experience, and this binder helped! Read more
