So im Genderqueer and have been looking for a binder to feel more masc from time to time and this works great! The fabric is comfortable, breathable and not itchy, which is great.
It compresses well, but I think it could do more. But, I also think if I go down a size it be even better, coz my boobs slide around a bit. But other than that, its awesome!
The photos are under a singlet: with bra, without bra and with binder
Wonderful chest binder that did the job incredibly well!
I cannot describe the joy I felt when I opened my eyes to look in the mirror and saw my chest the flattest it has ever been in years!
I also love how breathable and comfortable they are, especially in warmer weather.
Not to mention the material is as soft as silk and how it hides extremely well under all the shirts I wear!
Shipping was super fast, fantastic quality and very snug
Got a size small, would recommend going for the M if you are 90-92 cm for extra space.
As a guy with a larger chest compared to my body size this does an incredible job of binding without any spillage/cutting into your armpits. Fabric is nice and soft, feels great sensory wise.
Will be purchasing more of these.

This was my very first binder so I didn't really have any comparison or set expectations for it other than when I've stacked sports bras to make my chest smaller, I ordered it on Monday and received it on Thursday of that same week, so super quick shipping! It came in a standard discreet Auspost package and inside the packaging was literally the cutest😭 I was in between sizes so I got the bigger size to play it safe and I'm so glad that I did, I thought it would be uncomfortable and tight since it was a binder but I kid you not when I put it on it felt just as, if not even more comfortable than my regular bras and sports bras, not only was it so comfortable, it flattened my chest so much without making it difficult to breathe. This is such a good binder literally the only con I can think of is if you plan to wear it on it's own or with a low neck top, the low neckline on the binder can sometimes show cleavage at the top, but if you're wearing it under other clothes with regular necklines it won't be an issue, in conclusion, I 100% recommend this as a first binder, it's so comfortable and makes me feel far more confident and androgynous :D 💙💙💙
I bought mine a few months, maybe a year ago, after deciding very carefully what binder to buy. And I'm very happy I went with sock drawer heroes! Its Extremely comfortable, and I like the cotton panel. Doesn't cause pain or soreness even if I wear it for far longer than I should (don't worry! i don't wear it every day so my chest has plenty if time to breathe). And isn't a little prison that makes me sweat, so doesn't start smelling funny/become dirty until several wears.
The one thing I have found to not like is that after a few washes, suddenly the outer shell seems to have gotten... too big? or misshapen or something? It fits fine but now has large lumps/wrinkles that make it very visible under my clothes, which i don't want :(
I'm not going to blame the binder, I don't have the energy to handwash it, so it Does go in with all my other laundry (and i've given up on delicate loads), but in my defense i always wash on cold and Always hang it dry. And the deformity seems to have happened suddenly, so I feel like it wasn't from washing? Maybe someone changed my laundry for me and tossed it into the drier :(
Either way, aside from that (which i'm sad about), amazing binder. Binds very well, and I think any binder that binds more would either be too uncomfortable, too dangerous to wear for too long, and/or too expensive. A very effective mix of effective binding, comfort, and cost.
Thank you soso much for the euphoria!
This was my first binder and it was gifted to me from sock drawer heroes! It fits so well and makes me feel so good!
Going to save up to grab some more!!
I received this binder as part of SDH Pay It Forward Program & I'm so so thankful 💖
After only every using sports bras (pictured in brown) to try to flatten, this is a HUGE (amazing) difference.
It's comfortable, relatively easy to put on (I'm sure I just need practice) & the flattening effect is mind blowing.
I was between a M & L sizing wise but went with the M & I'm glad I did, it is still quite loose in the under bust & back & I still have full range of motion.
I'm just so happy & finally feel a bit more like myself when I wear it.
Thank you so so much, I recommend this to everyone.
Ate and left no crumbs. I ordered 1 size larger than needed (M) to account for any weight gain as I proceed with my hormone therapy, and it is just as effective! Comfortable, breathable, and very subtle.
Probably the most sensory friendly and comfortable binder I've ever owned! Instead of the usual slippery, gym-wear stretchy fabric its this wonderful soft fabric AND there's no tags!
As a larger person it does roll up a bit throughout the day but that's expected from a crop style binder. It binds well too, its extremely comfortable and I honestly forget I'm wearing it all day because doesn't feel like I am wearing one!
Looks and feels really comfortable! Love this product and will be buying from here again!
Love these binders - the quality is great, I'm so happy with the compression and the sensory feel is great - there isn't anything digging in. Prompt shipping too - highly recommend.
As a teenager paid less than minimum wage, this was still worth every cent! I bought my first binder about two years ago and just recently I bought another: both are going strong and extremely well made and durable.
My first binder and it's so comfortable and compressed incredibly well (I got a size XS) The fabric is comfy and texture friendly. I'm so happy, would recommend! :>
I got this binder a day or two ago and am very happy with the results. It's not super compressing, but I was exactly between two sizes (went with the larger one) and am very happy with the results. It's super comfortable and easy put on and take off, and the fabric is very breathable. Overall, it's a really great first binder, and I would definitely recommend going with the larger size for safety if you are between two sizes, though that may be a factor in the binder being less effective.
It's really good, I wish there was a bit more compression but I understand there are a lot of risks with compressing the chest too much, however it fits perfectly and is very comfortable
Super comfy almost cried when I put it on. As a cis woman with larger breasts that cannot afford a boob job this is life changing. Thankyou so much
I like the fabric. It feels higher quality than other binder of the same price point. I also enjoy that this binder comes a bit lower than others so the elastic isn’t on my ribs. That being said, since it is a bit lower, it does move around a little and sometimes bothers me. Other than that. Would buy again.
I'm so happy to receive my first binder. It's comfortable and the compression is smooth and even. Since I am underweight, I was not able to get a fully flat look with a fitted t-shirt, so I still have to wear baggy clothing. Not anything wrong with the binder though, and I feel a lot better in my body. Thank you so much SDH for sending this to me for free, love you all!
The best one I got in 3 years, absolutely love it.
Super comfortable, easy to put on but it could be flatter.
Good first binder, I’ll be buying again!
Hi Max, thanks for your review!
Positioning of the chest can help achieve a flatter chest. We recommend:
Once the binder is on, put your hand into the binder through the neck hole and manually position your chest away from the centre, towards your armpits and slightly down. If the binder is the right size, your chest should stay in position.
Hope that helps!
Absolutely love it to bits, fits perfectly and provides amazing binding. 10/10 absolutely perfect
This was my first binder and I had to be rather sneaky with my parents to get it. I’ve been struggling with my gender for a while in silence and finally got an opportunity to get a binder! It’s much more comfortable than I expected and the euphoria I got after first putting it on was indescribable. The packaging was so cute on the inside but the outside was very discreet, which was just what I was counting on. I’m so grateful for Sock Drawer Heroes ❤️ thank you.
Really good compression, takes 11cm off bust.
This was our first attempt at a shorter binder and it keeps riding up which may be common in shorter binders or unique, otherwise good binder!
