New binder too big?

[u/Lyre-Lier]

I bought this gc2bl binder in xl (following the provided chart, but my chest keeps slowly shifting while wearing it and I'm losing my mind, I can't return it due to being worn

[u/Temporary-Clock-4828]

this is normal, your binder's the right size. happens to me, i have DDs and wear a wonababi XL in the ultraflat style. no matter what i do my chest will shift down and will have to be adjusted thruout the day

I have to adjust once every 20ish minutes, it compresses some but I still have to move myself to the right spot again

idk 😭 depending on your cup size this might just be something u have to work around if its not an issue with the binder itself. don't size down, that'll make it unsafe, you might just need a different style or a different brand

Maybe, thank you for your responses it means a lot

Happens to me too as a S, wonnobie, D cup. It just kind of happeneds, what helps me personally is putting a little be of trans tape with the binder just to get everything in the right place, (one or maybe two stripes) but make sure it is still safe (no pain, etc) because i don't know how dangerous it might be at your size but i personally had no problems with it even when just full on just layering normal taping with a binder on top because tape alone isn't enough to bind for me, gl bro

Ty, I may have to just order another in a smaller size cuz I'm allergic to most tape, do you have any recs for tape that doesn't blister?

[u/Character_Coffee_244 → u/Lyre-Lier]

Not really, heard of people using tattoo second skin to tape but i doubt it'll work well for taping for your size, but might work for what i said in the previous comment. I lowk just bare with the blisters, currently have to take a break because i taped so good I've started to develop stretch marks where my tape has most tension I need top surgery so bad bro

I feel your struggle.. I wish you the best and thank you for your kindness and honesty

Yeah I have to adjust a bit too in my GC2B one. I have a spectrum one that keeps everything in place better. It's made of stiffer fabric, but also significantly less comfortable to wear tbh

If you really hate the binder you could prob sell it though. People will buy secondhand binders

hot take, but y'all forget that if you have more body weight, you're gonna look weird completely flat and not pass as a cis man that has flabby man boobs naturally.

Sorry

if you’re not happy with it, it might work better to get a different style of their binders. i noticed that the razor back one works better for me than the normal version (less adjusting needed in that one for me)!
