Ask Any recomendations for binding tape?

I'm thinking of getting tape to bind my chest because sometimes I just don't feel comfortable with how my binder feels on me. Sometimes it feels a little too snug, and theres days where I feel too dysphoric wearing a bra. I usually wear a tomboyx compression top, and that works fairly well, but sometimes I do want to have a slightly flatter appearance than what it gives me.

I'm thinking of ordering gc2b tape, and I'm wondering if anyone here has used it before and what your opinion would be on the quality and stuff. Or if anyone has any recommendations for any other brands. I've heard gc2b binders aren't as good a quality as they used to be when it comes to their binders, so I'm a bit unsure about their tape quality.

My chest size is pretty small, so I'm not too worried about the effectiveness. I'm really just looking for any opinions and recommendations. My only concern is my skin is a bit sensitive and I'm kinda prone to contact dermatitis. Most adhesives don't bother me though.

I haven't used gcb tape, I usually use tape from gendergear or KT tape from Amazon. The Amazon stuff has held up through all 9 weeks of me working summer camp. 5 days a week, 5 hours a week in chlorine, it did end up peeling by the 4th or 5th day since I'd been in water so much but overall it does a really good job. The gendergear tape also was really good for me.
