“I recently came out as a transgender man, and because I'm pretty active/athletic, I wanted something that would be more comfortable than a traditional binder and allow for less restricted movement for my first one. Comfort is a big thing for me, and when I saw the reviews of people saying that this is the most comfortable binder they own, I decided to try it out. If I can say anything about it, I would warn that it's more of a sports bra than a binder. Of course, it's advertised as such (a compression top), but if you're looking for something that's going to flatten your chest substantially, I wouldn't recommend this top. While it is definitely comfortable and great for working out, it doesn't do much to ease my chest dysphoria. I've got a pretty athletic, lean build with an average sized chest, so I was surprised that it didn't flatten as much as other people said theirs did, and yes- I did get the correct size. Because of where it lays on me, it squeezes my stomach pretty bad and makes it stick out over my pants when I sit down, which causes further dysphoria. I can also confirm other reviews about people saying the band slips/rolls up. It definitely does that for me, and there are times when it rides up so high that it actually creates more cleavage and acts as more of a push-up sports bra for me. There are a lot of reviews of people saying it keeps its compression if you don't wash/dry it, but be warned, if you're working out in it or planning to wear it in warm weather, this thing gets pretty rank, and it significantly loosens after you wash and dry it. I'm leaving three stars because I do plan to use it for exercising going forward, but I've ordered a stronger binder from a different company for daily wear. Just be mindful and consider how much compression you're looking for before you expect this to completely flatten your chest or stay in place!”
“With the issues traditional binders will cause, this compression top acts as a perfect half way point, it goes Bras - sports bras - compression top - binder, if that makes sense at least to me. I love it! sometimes i wish i was flatter but im really greatful as i dont want a traditional binder and it does the job amazingly. Only thing i don't like is the creasing at the shoulders? but I got it around January and its still in great condition”
“This binder has a snug fit that feels comfy, while providing an even compression. Compared to traditional binders, the compression may not be as strong so you might not get a completely flat look. However, I have a smaller chest (32A) and this binder helped minimize my chest a lot better than most sport bras. Plus, I still get to breathe and move around easily. Great product with a reasonable price.”
“this is mu new favorite garment i don’t know how i lived without it before. good snug, not excessive compression. perfect coverage for a slim and rigor fit (;”
“When I wore bras, I was a 34D, and the large size of this compression top is very comfortable and makes me feel great. If I were trying to pass, I don't think it would be quite enough for me, but it does a great job minimizing my chest for the comfort and price!”
“This is so comfortable, I have a medium-sized chest (34DD) and it flattened about 2 inches from my bust. Also, the band at the bottom does not leave a big red indent/irritate my skin as most sports bras do, which is really nice.”
“Though I'm cool with being a woman, I have never related to or cared for my breasts. I wish they would just go away. I've never owned a 'regular' bra and just wore sports bras because that's all I thought I could do to keep them out of the way and out of sight. Then I found this! I can wear it all day with no issue, can eat, sit, breathe, run, do anything I want with hardly any movement. I also experience breast pain occasionally, and the only thing that relieves it is this top. I'm going to buy another one ASAP, because I don't want to be without this one when it's in the wash!”
“I use this compression top as a chest binder and it does the job without chaffing or being uncomfortably tight. I'm not completely flat, but I like to think of my smaller chest swell as just really built pecs. :) Definitely recommend as a cheaper alternative to other more expensive options if you're okay with not being totally flat.”
