I wanted a first binder but this is basically just a sports bra, very little compression. I was last sized as an f and got 2XL; maybe it’s too big?

Definitely comfortable, but it doesn't do much for compression tbh. I'm an a cup and this binder performs only marginally better than my sports bra. I can't imagine that it would do much of anything for a larger or more "well-endowed" person. The material is comfortable, and the seams are barely noticeable. Some brands have very prominent seams that tend to itch and irritate, (GC2B ilysm but fix your seams pls) but these seams lay flat and are smooth enough to ignore. I do really like the lower neckline so that it doesn't show underneath my favorite shirts. My under bust measures 30" and my bust measures 33" and the medium fits me quite well. It has its pros and cons. Not sure I'd order one again, but it's worth keeping around for lower-cut shirts.

It does not fit big boobs at all! There’s not enough space between the top and the band. It doesn’t exactly minimize, more like it squished the bottom of your boobs and maximizes the top of your boobs.

Fits well and definitely compresses my chest! Not completely flat but flatter than other sports bras I've worn. Feels small when you're putting it on but then fits well. I wasn't sure what size to get... I am skinny with big chest. 5'5 118lbs and 34C or D. Medium fits well. Was debating between ordering that or the large. Armpit area is kind of bulgy with this on, probably wouldn't wear this with just a tank top because of that. Looks super good under t shirts though, I'm super happy!

My bra size is 36DD and I ordered this top in XL. The compression for me is very minimal, as in less than a tight sports bra would do for me. It is comfortable, and I can wear this as a normal bra. But from reading the product description and other reviews, I expected this top to compress somewhere between an actual binder and a sports bra, and that expectation was not met. This top compresses slightly less than the Full Spectrum sports bra I've bought (also in XL) while being much more comfortable to wear (the Full Spectrum size XL does feel a little constricting on my breathing). For folks with larger chests, I think this top works as a bra but not as a binder alternative.

if you want an actual binder, not for you. its literally just a sports bra, and honestly it gave me more gender dysphoria bc i was so excited. i will not be shopping here again.

Wore this during my wedding and I highly recommend! Super comfortable and not restrictive like my other compression top! I wore it all day on the beach and it was like I was wearing nothing! Cannot recommend this enough!!
