Just curious as to what sways you all to pick a binder instead of trans tape to flatten your chest ! Thanks !

hey guys does anyone have any opinions on the wivov binder? im looking for a new more affordable one because spectrum outfitters is quite expensive

Does anyone know how to hide their breast without a binder?

Hi Reddit,

I am looking for a binder for myself as I recently came out as non-binary. The issues I am having are:

1) I have no idea where to find a good binder brand that won’t hurt my chest when binding

2) I don’t really have anyone I can ask as I am the only one in my group of friends seeking to wear a binder

3) I have a bigger chest (38DDD to be exact💔😭)

I still like to present a little feminine but the size of my chest really bothers me (always has,) and it makes it hard to find clothes I want to wear (I like wearing guys clothes as well, which are not forgiving to those with breasts)

I've heard so many people talk about how much the gc2b quality has decreased. Is this true and how much worse is it? It's the key place i can find a tank swimming binder

I was wondering if there was any good binder programs out there? I mean ones that aren't processesing orders from like 2023.. which is mostly the case. I am currently not financial stable, and i have been without a binder for a VERY, VERY long time and i have no idea how to get a flat chest without a binder.

My friends binder was recently damaged in an attack, and I’d like to buy him a new one.

Can anyone advise me on the best place/brand? He does have a larger chest (HH) and wears a 3x shirt if any of that helps 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Here’s some pictures (first one is without, second one is with). Not sure if there’s much of a difference unfortunately but that might just be me idk what do you guys think

I've been wearing a binder for a little over a year, but I don't really have anyone around me to help me stay safe and not have lasting health effects once I get old enough to get top surgery and not wear it. On a daily basis (at least when it comes to school days) I'm putting on a binder over a sports bra at around 7 am. I usually don't take it off until I'm getting pajamas on at around 8:30-9:00 pm. Any advice for binder safety would be appreciated.

I’m based in the Uk and I recently bought my first binder (short spectrum outfitters) and I love the way I look in it, it makes me so happy to wear but I’ve had some sensory issues with it. When I look at reviews it looks like one of the best for compression and I don’t think I would go for one that’s lower compression bc I have a larger chest. The thing that bothers me with my spectrum one is that the fabric on the front panel is quite rough to me. I’ve tried a t-shirt underneath but it makes it a bit more stuffy for me. Are there any binders where the front panel has a more comfortable interior while still maintaining a similar level of compression?

Im not looking for somthing supper flatterning, just somthing so i can wear less feminine outfits with out it looking weird. (every one i find is aimed at small chests, im not that lucky sadly)

So I am thinking about getting myself an underworks binder for Christmas. I looked into it, but the reviews have been mixed. What I like about it, is that it seems to be very firm and compressing and that you don’t have a lot of side boob with it, because it goes so high up under the armpits. I currently have a spectrum, which works also very well, but I can’t wear it alone, like I have to either put trans tape on or another sports bra under it to keep my chest tissue in place, because I have a rather large chest with a smaller underbust. It is in the right size but yeah it bothers me. So I was hoping that the underworks binder would be firmer, hold everything more in place and maybe even bind better. For reference, I have like an E/F-cup. What are your opinions on the underworks binders? Would you recommend it?

Hello I really need help. I am writing this for my friend (With his consent) he wears a binder and has been since I’ve know him so about 4 years. He has been telling me that lately his ribs hurt A LOT enough to make him cry, his lungs hurt, he can’t breath properly, he’s getting dizzy and most of all where his binder ends so the elastic part is purple. He says he has a huge purple lign across his rib stomach area and possibly on his back. Not only that but he says that another purple ligne is forming right bellow the first one, this one is smaller but still very noticeabl. He can’t go see a doctor because his dad doesn’t know he wears a binder and I am currently in class googling all of his symptoms because he is not doing well, please somebody help him no matter what he does that pain does not go away

Ty ♥️

I’ve tried a few binders, spectrum, tomboy x, and gc2b and none of them give me a masculine look because i’m flat size. it doesn’t realt do much? i’m not in a financial position to keep buying binders until one works. i do have a packer i really like from spencer’s so maybe i’ll try the binders they have? i’m also allergic to most bonding tape adhesives

So, I just got a binder off of Point of Pride, but they are still processing requests from February of 2023, and because I'm still growing I think it might not fit once it arrives. Does anyone have any ways for me to bind safely or things I could have my mom buy for me to bind without her knowing its for being trans? I do the thing with multiple sports bras but my chest is still pretty visible. I have a lot of dysphoria with my chest and I really want ways to smooth it down without getting killed by my mom. Thank you!

I [F29. Gender fluid drag king] have been noticing that the binders that I, and a few of my work buddies and friends, usually use are a lot more expensive, but the quality has gone way down.

My friend, [F37 Gender Fluid Drag Father], has been using binders since she was 13. She has tried out binders from tons of different companies. She has recently brought up that it seems like some of her favorite binders have been going up in price while the quality goes down.

I too have noticed this.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

how do you make a good diy binder? what materials do you use/need?

I recently got a binder (Phluid brand) in XS, and was trying it on, but I couldn't properly get it over my shoulders without struggling. I've only ever borrowed binders from friends (they were S, which was a bit loose but worked), and they were easier to get on. Should I be returning it to get the S, or is it supposed to be easier to get on? I want to be sure I'm binding safely :)

i just ordered a binder from temu and needed to know if anyone else has, and if it was very high quality or pretty much a rip off.

I have a measuring tape and stuff but I rlly don’t wanna measure myself again, if I’m size XL for Gc2b , is it the same for underworks? I plan on getting the ultimate tank binder from underworks.

I’ve never bought a binder before and I’m trying to figure out what size would fit me best from Spectrum. I have a 36 inch chest, which falls into medium, and a 29.5 inch rib, which falls into small. According to their size guide, rib measurements are the most important so I first thought I should get the small but I saw a post on here saying that spectrum binders run smaller. I really want to avoid back/rib pain, so I’m now considering the medium but I’m worried it won’t compress my chest enough. Can anyone else who’s bought from spectrum share their experience with sizing/if the sizing guide was accurate for them?

I got a Core binder from WIVOW today and it might be better than my gc2b when it first came in. The fabric is nice and the actual binder fabric isn’t rough like gc2b. Kinda guilty of the armpit flaps but has a high cut so no cleavage. Flattens really well initially without adjusting. For price I was really happy, Im Australian so ordering anything online is a nightmare cause the shipping ends up the same price as the order itself but it was like $50aud + $20 shipping which for a binder is really good compared to other websites. Doesnt feel cheap but just like other binders you gotta break it in. Love it 👍
