GCTBLChest Binder for Transgender Half FTM Binder Trans Breathable Compression Bra

Very comfortable and true to size. It’s very good quality for the price. It’s very safe. It looks and feels great. It binds very well my size was XL and I’m very flat when I wear it.

So, ik how important reviews for trans kids buying from random online stores is, so here you go. So far, the binder is pretty good. Comfy, binding, breathable, all that good stuff. I will have to say, measure yourself first. Don't just measure with a binder, bra, or something else, measure right after your shower, straight up fresh in your bday suit. This is the correct way, or you might be in pain :(In my photos, I have my old purple gtcb that I've had forever, and in the second one I have this product in 3XL. I have a big chest tbh (still nonbinary tho), around 42 in, and I got pretty good results. I'd recommend you def measure yourself first, and if you're in-between sizes, try going down.Good luck friends <3

It flattens our quite well, and fits like a glove! I know I should not bind for long hours... but it does feel comfy, not confining. Skin-tone, I love looking in the mirror, pretending I actually do have a flat chest. I can slip it over my head so easily. The quality is awesome, it functions remarkably well.

I don't typically wear binders anymore, i usually stick to wearing sports bras because they do the job most of the time. But i lost my GC2B binder i had since middle school & i needed a quick fix until i could buy a sturdier one when i had the money. That was my first mistake :,). If you're thinking of buying this, definitely upsize one or even two sizes up. I typically wear an XL in binder, and even a XXL is barely enough space for me. It's really tight and not breathable enough. It's not very stretchy either, so the ability to get it off and on when you're a bigger person, isn't all that easy. It will flatten your chest though, but be aware, it isn't the safest binder on the market. I'd save up your money and get a higher quality one off of amazon.

The binder fits so well. For reference, I am 38C and 220lbs. I bought the 3XL size and crossed my fingers hoping it would fit, and it does!I had to do some research on chest size, in spite of my worsening chest dysphoria, but I recommend it for this. My first "real" binder, a GC2B binder, was size XL. I got it when I was around 225-250lbs, same chest size, and it did not fit. I had to force the binder around me, and it was tight and constricting. I thought the 36-36 chest size for XL meant it would fit 38C chests, but it's more than that.I did some research and found that over-bust chest size differs from the number-and-letter combo size used. I'm using size 26 as an example.26AA: 22-26in (26 + 0 = 26)26A: 26-27 (26 + 1 = 27)26B: 27-28 (26 + 2 = 28)26C: 28-29 (26 + 3 = 29)26D: 29-30 (26 + 4 = 30)26DD/E: 30-31 (26 + 5 = 31)26F: 31-32 (26 + 6 = 32)There is a pattern. For each letter, there's an amount that you add to the number of your number-letter chest size to accurately estimate the size of your binder. So, for me, im 38C, and the biggest over-bust chest size is 41 inches, so 38 + 3 = 41. 41 inches fell within the 3XL (40-42in) range, so I chose that.So for AA, you add 0. for A, you add 1. For B, you add 2. For C, you add 3, for D, you add 4. For DD, you add 5. For F, you add 6. And next letter sizes you go up a number and add it. That's how you get your chest size in inches.If your chest size falls within two sizes, it's recommended to get the bigger size. Weight and body size matter too.*NOTE: I know some have very debilitating dysphoria so the “wear a binder no more than 8 hours" rule is not an option. I completely understand and i don’t judge, I wear my binder for more than 8hours.Wear a binder that fits and won't impair you in the future. Any top surgery, should you pursue one in the future, depends on chest health. Be careful, gauge your binder and length of use. If you can (depends on dysphoria), invest in compression sports bras, and consider other methods of safe binding, like trans tape.*Overall, this binder fits very well and doesn't feel scratchy, it doesn't have a bad texture. I ordered two and only got one, the other came in next day. I'm very happy with this binder, and I'm happy that I didn't have to spend twice as much for something like gc2b or underworks. Hope this brand stays around and continues to make these binders, this is worth it.

this the first binder ive ever purchased. ive tried many makeshift methods which were quite uncomfortable and restricting. so i finally said "YOLO" and bought this. it actually works very well to flatten my chest to a reasonable amount. it fits pretty decently too. and while i'm wearing it, my breathing is not restricted at all, i can breathe the same way as usual! it's lightweight enough that i hardly even feel it most of the time. i won't lie, it does make me sweaty, but that's likely a mix of the binder doing its job and my teenage hormones making me sweat 24/7 💀 but i say with confidence, that this is THE binder for anyone who needs a lightweight, comfortable binder!! :D

I have a pretty small chest, and after measuring myself (~29) I ordered a S. This binder is very comfortable, but clearly meant for larger chests. It didn’t bind for me at all, in fact, it made me feel worse because it compressed as much as a sports bra, despite being snug around the shoulders and hem. Will be returning.

I have never worn a binder before, so I was a little wary to buy one from amazon, but it worked surprisingly well and with very few setbacks.Pros: 1. The size for me was accurate. 2. It is surprisingly breathable, at least for me. 3. The fabric and the stitches aren't very bothersome which is good if you have sensory issues. 4. Yes, it does flatten the chest a good amount.Cons: 1. I myself couldn't wear this binder for more than 8 hours without feeling some discomfort or pressure. 2. Occasionally if I move to fast to the side or to sit up it will start to hurt where the sides of my ribs are or maybe that's just a me thing (It probably is a me thing). 3. And in the beginning it did im fact hurt my sides and my underarms but that might've been because I didn't know the proper way to wear it at first. (If this is your first time wearing a binder please search for how to properly wear one. It will help a lot.)
