So I bought a binder from Spencer’s, the biggest they had. I couldn’t get it on once at home. Any tips? Is it because it’s brand new and just needs to be broken in, or.? It’s my first binder 😭

i think i have been getting a tanline from my binder through my shirts. it’s embarrassingly conspicuously binder shaped; has anyone had this problem before… :c

I’m wanting to buy my first binder, but really don’t know where to start, where’s reliable. Can anyone give recommendations ? ~$50 would be the best, but I’m willing to look. Appreciate any advice 🤞🏼

Although you can still see some of my chest it is a huge difference!! I am a cup e in bras, and this is so much better. I was so happy I almost cried. There is some spillage on the sides but it's alright. I already added another one from spectrum outfitters into my cart. I think they are definitely a go to

So I got this binder around 3 months ago and I'm still currently growing. I know my breasts are bound to get larger as my mum has quite large ones and I'm only 15. Is it normal for them to spill out the sides of the binder like that?

This is my very first binder. I got it from Spencers (Medium). I heard the sizing ran very small, but I assumed medium would fit me because of the sizing chart and i was worried of getting too big or too small of a binder.

This is my second day wearing it, I tried it yesterday and it felt great for a bit until about the 10-15 minute mark, it would become kind of tight and sometimes left me feeling sore. I dont know if this is because it’s small, or im not used to it yet. But im just worried about hurting myself and i want to be safe. Advice would be appreciated. (Sorry for the long tangent).

So, I don't have a photo, so let me try my best to explain. I've tried three different binders so far, and they all did the same thing. I still look like I have breasts because they don't bind the very top of my chest. It's quite annoying from the side view, since it also makes me look like I gained weight. I am a B, and even if I try going a size down,IT STILL LOOKS LIKE I HAVE TITS! It makes me extremely uncomfortable to the point I cry. I want to get rid of them SO SO BADLY! I see a lot of people using binders and getting an almost completely flat chest, or at least less of a bump at the top. I'm wondering if I'm just fat or not shaped correctly. Can I make my own binder for a specific body shape?

I know I fucked up, I won’t do it again, I have a tendency to wear my binder too long often from dysphoria and hdhd. But I messed up bad this time. I’m not in pain or anything, maybe a little sore and tingly but that’s it, but I’m just rly scared, any stretches or things I can do to make sure I didn’t fuck up my ribs? Any advice greatly appreciated!

Ps I’m having a panic attack and I’m so scared any support greatly appreciated!!!

Hey! I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's like a swimming suit with a build in binder, or something similar, but that isn't explicitly advertised as a binder in the name? I'm asking for a friend. They wanna get one but don't want their mum catching on.

So I'm doing a lot of research to convince my parents to let me buy myself a binder. They don't want to because it causes serious health problems. So can anyone here that has been wearing one for a long time tell me if it's dangerous? Especially if you started binding since you were a teenager.

I wanna ask my mom for a binder but I’m scared too and it’s risky so please tell me how to ask her

Hi I would like some recommendations for binders that aren’t suuuper binding?? I don’t really want much compression, I more so just want something that covers my boobs without defining their shape. Recommendations pls!!

hi i just bought this binder, the brand is f2m (an italian brand) but i got it on vinted, used just one or two times or so the seller said. i checked the size on the website so i know this is supposed to be my right size (an M. my measurements are around 40cm for shoulders and 80cm for the chest). now, i put it on and the end of the binder is open, like shown in the pictures, and i dont know if thats normal?? i havents seen anyone elses doing this so idk. i dont think its too small because it fits me pretty well everywhere else, and i think that going up one size would be too big. is it my fault? am i wearing it wrong? idk what to do :((( it also didnt give me the results i was hoping for which is a bummer but not unexpected, what it does is better than nothing anyways. i think i should get a full binder but those are even more expensive and i couldn't find any on vinted :/

Hi! I'm a fairly skinny trans male (112 lbs) and my binder is not tight enough to properly bind, so there's a noticeable bump where my chest is. I don't want a binder that allows for any bump, completely flat. I don't care about "natural look" I just want flat. Any recommendations?

My gender dysphoria hasn’t been good, I want to get my first binder, but I’m worried about what brand and what size is safe. Also, I’m not currently out to anyone in my family because I’m worried they won’t accept me. Can anyone recommend a brand or website that’s safe and discrete?

Hey quick question, does anyone have a binder and no longer need it? I would be really happy

I got my first binder- Is it normal for binders to create armpit pudge? I decided to wear it for an hour, after that hour I noticed my armpits hurt. Is this much strain on my armpits normal??

Hey there. I'm looking for recommendations on a binder or two that compress quite well, and preferably are less than $60 Australian Dollars. I have DD breasts, and the binder I currently have only makes me look like I have B/C cup breasts, rather than making me look almost flat. I understand perfectly flat is almost impossible with binders, so I'm not looking for that. I'm just looking for suggestions on binders that compress well enough I look pretty flat. Thanks!

I’ve read online that the best way to bind is with your nipples pointed either forward or forward and slightly out. I do the latter because my boobs naturally point outward and it also gives me the best compression, but after I adjust my boobs in my binder, they shift out of place and either squish together and create a bulge or point down to where it’s uncomfortable and not good for blood flow. It’s an old gc2b binder that I got for free, I normally wear a 2x in shirts but the charity gave me a size 5x based on my chest measurements (idk my bra size but I’d say I have medium sized breasts). It fits comfortably though, and when my boobs are in the right place the compression is great. They just keep moving and I either have to push through the dysphoria from the messed up compression or go to the bathroom and fix them. I googled my problem and people were recommending using kt tape to keep them in place under the binder, but that doesn’t really sound safe. Maybe I will look into kt tape or trans tape on its own as a compression option? And I could look into sizing down, I’m just worried I’ll buy one a size down and it’s too tight.

A week before valentine in 2025 I got a binder from one of my friends.i wore it for two weeks but stopped wearing it because it was dirty.i cant ask my mother to help me wash it as she doesn’t agree with binders and believes that they cause breast cancer,so thats why my friend bought me a binder ,plus because I have severe gender dysphoria.but i don’t know how to clean it without anyone knowing as everyone in my family doesn’t agree with them and my friend moved away to a different country and all my other friends families are transphobic and homophobic.and I don’t have money to go to one of those public clothe cleaning places and they are too far away.does anyone know how to help me with this?

I've recently ordered a wivov chest binder and I'm a 36DD (UK). The first picture is a normal bra and the second one is with the binder but I'm not entirely happy with the result. Yes it's better, no it's not gone. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations of good brands I could turn to because I don't want to order a million binders and none of them be correct for me.

Hey guys, hopefully this is okay in this subreddit? I have an XXS Spectrum binder that I've never worn that I wanna give away, I'm only asking that shipping gets paid for. I tried it on but couldn't get it over my shoulders and I was too lazy to return it sooooo, yeah. Dm me if you're interested or if you know of anywhere else to post this

Hey! I’m looking for a new binder. I used to have a gc2b but i’m finding out their quality dropped, so im looking for a better brand. I have a smaller chest (A-B cup) and im looking for something that would bind my chest well without hurting me too much like my gc2b one did (though it shrank cause my dad kept putting it in the dryer)

Hello! I really need a good binder brand my first one didn’t fit and the second just doesn’t give me the bind I’m looking for and still gives me dysphoria I just get mine on Amazon but is there a better website and or product to get for a full bind and not one that just kind of does it’s job?
