Size Guide

How to measure: With arms down by your sides, take a snug measurement around the fullest part of your chest, over the nipples without clothing.

Care guide: Hand wash regularly in warm or cold water, or wash on a gentle cycle in a delicates bag. Dry flat or hang to dry. We don't recommend ironing your binder. Do not tumble dry.

Colours may vary slightly across different devices or screens due to variations in display settings and calibration.

Light skin coloured short binder

Very comfortable and cooler than the long binder for hot weather.
I feel great wearing it.

Comfy but not the best flattening

I’ve had this binder for about 3 months I think, and firstly I have to say it’s incredibly comfy. It’s not incredibly breathable, but more so than others I’ve had. I’ve even had times I’ve worn it longer than 8 hours (don’t do that I know), and I only had minimal irritation, no bruising at all like others have given me. The only downside to this binder is I think the pictures are a little misleading with how much it binds. It definitely flattens, but doesn’t squish if that makes sense. It’s about a step between a sports bra and other tougher binders. But it’s still high quality, I’ve got no fraying threads or even fading colour, despite leaving it to soak in products longer than I probably should on accident.
Overall, I think it’s good binder if you forget to take one off or have sensory issues with a lot of compression, and I’ll still be using mine until it breaks :).

Hi Rocky, thanks so much for your review.

In terms of the compression level - we have not edited our product photos in any way to make them look like they are more flattening than they are, so the product photos are showing the true compression that our community models genuiely got from our binder. But there are many factors that affect compression level including fit of the binder and, importantly, chest tissue density. This could be impacting the level of compression you get from your binder.

We're really glad you're happy with the comfort level and quality of the binder, we just wanted to let you know that different people will get different levels of compression because all bodies are different :)

Thank you for supporting our small trans-owned business!

Great quality

An excellent quality garment, they are great at providing solid compression. The sole and only reason I have a four-star rating is because they tend to ride up on my body. They end at a point on my torso that causes the bottom to roll upward, so I need to regularly correct that. However, that is a minor annoyance.

The binders are very heavy compression, and if you wear a properly sized one for eight hours, you very much understand why the eight hour limit exists. I personally would advise no longer than six.

I have worn these binders while engaged in sports (historical fencing/HEMA) and have found them able to handle the movement comfortably, however you will need to remember to breathe from the diaphragm and not the chest. Also, you will need far more breaks than usual, particularly if you are in hot conditions. Make sure you keep an eye on your hydration and comfort while wearing it.

Very comfy

Great binder! Unfortunately I misread the sizing directions and got a size too small. But the material seems high quality!
