Top was more restrictive on breathing than a binder because of the band, and also barely changed the size of my chest. I was between XS and XXS and scaled down but it still had almost no affect on my breasts. Especially disappointed because this was my plan for passing at an event I’m going to, but I decided that I didn’t need a backup plan because of other reviews.

I love this top, super glad a tan colored one of these came out and i can wear this under a white t-shirt and have it be hidden. I cant wear standard binders because of my anxiety and claustrophobia so these have been so helpful to compress my chest more comfortably then a binder, i am already a smallish chest size so this compresses enough for me. in a bra size i wore a 32C and i wear a small in this if that helps anyone looking to try these.

SIZE DOWN IF YOU ARE PETITE! I have an A cup and my bust is 32-33 so there’s hardly anything there. I’m really lean and the top went on kinda low because there was some space around the underarm area. The band goes above my belly button so it wasn’t a bad fit. It was a little roomy at first but once you adjust it feels good. It also works perfectly as a binder for me since I’m really flat chested so it’s perfect if you have a small bust. It’s way more comfortable than the sports bras I use to compress my chest too. No more annoying spaghetti straps that show through your shirt or skin that pinches out so give it away. The back is also pretty low. Absolutely perfect!!!!!! I ordered another in a smaller size and will be getting more.

I bought this as a lighter binder to wear over the summer, and in that aspect it definitely delivers. The material is much softer and more comfortable than any binders that I’ve had (underworks, gc2b). But, the compression is much less, and is closer to what I get from sports bras than my other binders, and I am fairly small chested. My measurements were in the small range for the largest part of my chest and medium everywhere else, and I ordered a small. I thought that by ordering a small I would get tighter compression, but maybe a medium would have done more?

Way more comfortable than expected! Doesn’t bind as much as traditional binders, but it gets the job done and even looks great under tank tops. For reference, I’m about 110 lbs and wear a 32b bra, ordered a medium, and it fits well.

Love this! I'm a ~DD cup (last time I checked... years ago) and bind daily with a GC2B binder. I try to give myself a break from binding on the weekend and when I'm home and I also don't bind when I work out---major dysphoria all around. This compression top seems like a great option that is between a sports bra and a binder. It doesn't flatten as much as the binder BUT it feels great and is the perfect option for days I don't want to wear the binder. I might even try it out at the gym. It does dig a little bit under my arms, but other than that it's so comfortable that I don't really mind!

I am a little conflicted about this product. Overall it is the high quality I expect from TX, but as a plus sized person who has more boob to deal with, I want to share how this works for me. Basically the compression top flattens but also elevates my boobs, kinda giving a bra effect in a way? This is exastrabated by the low cut, giving me a bit of cleavage. I really like the low cut for wearing under things, but just an FYI. In contrast to my other binders, this fits WAY better, and I dont feel my boobs slipping out under the top, which often happens with my binders from other places. However, becuase they are well in place, I find wearing this compression top jigglyer than just wearing a high compression sports bra, even if i do like the shape/feel better. In general I would reccomend this product, and really like how it fits, especially the band at the bottom, but wanted to share my experience.

pretty good, I love how breathable it is, and the compression. This is my first binder, and I can wear it with most of my shirts. my one problem is the sides. literally 2 minutes into wearing it the top seams (right under the armpits) start pinching. It would be manageable if the whole thing was that tight, but it's only in those spots. I got an XL, because my underbust is 39 even though my chest is larger than 43.5, so that might be it, but then shouldn't the sizing be based on chest size? tl;dr this is a great product, but it might require some diy if you don't fit the measurements perfectly
