Just the ticket

I was looking for something like this for ages. Good smoothing compression, and an old fashioned wrestler sort of look to it. It is quite long, longer than I expected, it goes a little lower than my swim bottoms but that's kind of nice. It did take me a few tries and getting stuck in it to realize you need to use the zipper to put it on and take it off from the bottom, not over your head! I love feeling like me in a swimsuit finally!

So good

It arrived on time and it’s also amazing quality and makes me comfortable. It makes my chest a bit flatter but it is tight around my stomach and it’s hard to take off my other than that I really like it

Unexpectedly good as a regular binder!

Admittedly haven't tried swimming in it yet- But surprisingly, when dry, this is the most comfortable binder I've ever worn! I dunno about everyone else, maybe just me?

I went through multiple spinal surgeries as a squishy kid, so, binding is more risky, and finding a comfortable binder is always tough. BUT The moment I put this on I was super shocked with how comfy it is(?!)- It's not as uncomfortably tight as other binders, but still feels shapely masculine! Made for moving and activity, which is good for my hobbies. Even being short and stocky, I still definitely look and feel flatter in this. The material is admittedly thicker and the scratchiness will get a bit annoying:: but that's because the fabric choice is built for swimming!

But, I'm so pleased with the moveability, evenness of compression with a lack of suuuper tightness, and shape, that I'll probably buy a second one, mostly just for non-swim/daily active use!

Overall, can recommend this even just as a daily binder, especially for those who are just like me with physical disabilities who have trouble binding. Not sure about others who bought this, but for me this has been a great way to bind in a less-tight way compared to standard binders whilst still promoting moveability and looking /realistically/ flat (ie not super tight flat, still a bit of curve, but in line with my middle, so it distributes naturally!). Not so much for those with sensory issues, because that's because the material is made for swimmin! But that doesnt bother me personally so much :) I love it!

Helpful but not as good as I hoped

I bought this a while back thinking it was going to be great but while it's great for my chest a perfect fit even, I have a bit of extra padding on my stomach and I find it too tight in that area. I don't want to get the next size up because I don't want too loose in my chest area.

Excellent fit

I’ve not had the chance to wear it in the water but the colour and fit was amazing, discreet packing. I would highly recommend this company.

Exactly what I ordered

This binder is exactly what I needed for everyday life, swimming, light workouts, etc. I wear this almost everyday all day and the lighter compression really helps me be able to get through a day without the consequences of a normal binder. I'm a broad guy and this makes my chest look really nice! It gives me a fairly masc shape under clothes and the material is extremely sensory friendly too!

I highly recommend this to anyone who needs a lighter compression, something masc to swim in or just to experience a different type of binding in general.

5/5; swimming teacher

Best binder for swimming I've bought. I'm a swimming teacher so am in the water 3+ times a week and this binder holds up well. I was a little nervous that this job would make me dysphoric for how visible it would make my body, but this binder gives me so much confidence that I even pass as male in the water most of the time (pre-T, pre-op), which I love. I am now buying my second one of these to replace the one I've been wearing for the last 2 years.

Best binder i’ve bought

This binder is the best one i had bought in 4 years of binding. It’s comfortable and moves with your body while still supporting your chest in the right way. I bought it with the intention of wearing it only for swimming but will be buying a second one for daily use!

A Must Have

This makes it comfortable for me to use my local pool. So much better than putting a t-shirt over swimmers that floats about and drags on you swimming. This provides a nice flattening profile and is easy to swim laps in. Also stays where it's put.
And a thank you to the lovely people at SDH, beyond great customer service 😀

Awesome swimming top

I have used this top for swimming a few times and so felt it a good idea to leave a review.

I really like this swimming top and it has given me a lot of confidence to go back to the pool. I am a curvy person and have been wearing a sports bra and singlet for a long time to swim in - or just not going swimming. But I feel really good in this top. I like doing laps and although it is tight it doesn't restrict my breathing. It's good to exercise in. I still feel weird about my body shape, but I think a lot of people do maybe, but basically this top has given me the freedom to go to the pool just like anyone else.

Also some practical things. Like most binders it works best if you step into it to put it on (rather than over your head). But important to know that when its wet it can be really effortful to take off again - it takes some upper body strength to take it off. I had just done a lot of laps for exercise and my arms were jelly and it looked pretty funny as I got a bit stuck haha. So a better option is to bring a singlet with you and put your singlet on over the top, and then wait for your swimming shirt to dry. It takes a little bit of time to work out how to make it sit right, I am short and the shirt is a bit long, but its totally worth it and very comfortable.

Thanks for stocking it, SDH!

I am so happy I got this top and it was a really good investment in my mental & physical health.
