Underworks USA Econo High Power Chest Binder Top - FTM, Non-Binary, Transgender - 943

I'm a woman and got this for cosplay, so I might not have that many insightful things to say.My chest is 43 inches, so I got the large. On bra size I'm a 36 G, so I have big breasts that are usually very noticeable.If I wear a tight shirt with the binder, you can still tell I have them, which is to be expected. All that tissue can't just disappear. But, as I hope you can see in the pictures, if I wear a lose fitting shirt, you could be convinced I don't have giant breasts!!I'm very happy with this purchase and it will make my male cosplays look so much better! I haven't worn it for extended periods of time, but it does feel very comfortable and not super tight.

Almost thought I'd have to return this when I initially pulled it out of the package because it looked *tiny* despite buying the accurate size according to the measurements...and when I tried pulling it on, it was so tight that I thought the size wasn't right. But, I forced myself to get it on, and was surprised that once it was actually in place, it's not nearly as uncomfortable as I expected it to be. Just very, very snug--this is clearly not a brand that you can risk going a size down on without hurting yourself. I'm assuming that with regular wear it will break in some and loosen the way other binders do, but the arm holes run a bit small so it does pinch a bit at the armpits if you're built thicker or more muscular like I am, that's something to keep in mind. But this already seems to have better support and control over the amount of tissue I have (a lot) than other binders because of the intense level of compression, and doesn't ride up when I lift my arms the way other short binders do. Depending on how it lasts, I may get another as a backup!

This saved me!!!!! Really effective and inexpensive binder I definitely recommend. Just please know about binder safety!!Over time there’s definitely some damage so I suggest hand washing and air drying. Really stretchy around the arms and back so you can actually breathe and move. But it’s quit like a hard right padding in front to keep you flat. Amazing product this is the one!!!

For my first binder. It barely binded much as I do have a big chest myself and it felt more like a sports bra. It is loose around the band, not sure if it is suppose to do that. Armholes are tricky, but was able to fit into.I bought the XL one as my bust size is 44 in, do what you want with this information. I did feel comfortable and able to breathe in this binder.1st image is braless 2nd image is with the binder on. You can tell there’s little to no difference.

*For size reference: 5’6”, ~110lbs, 29” rib measurement, 34” chest measurement which makes me a C-cup but close to a D*TL;DR: get the correct size for the best bind, could see the material being an issue for people with more sensory issues (the edge seam is thick and the outer layer doesn’t always lay perfectly flat) but for under thicker T’s or shirts with patterns it’ll work great.Second time I’ve ever worn a binder, but this one is the correct size (first was one size too big) and can def see more flattening.With the extra flattening comes the warning of NOT working out/heavy activity while wearing this. I had a slightly larger size on yesterday (different brand) and could easily see doing some light exercises, nothing crazy. But with this I can feel the compression more and am being mindful about it as the day goes on.I have bigger boobs that I’ve never felt comfortable with but a small frame so it’s been tight sport bras for most of my life. Finally thought I’d give binders a try. While this one does bind me the best so far I’m only wearing it under a T-shirt. If I pull the shirt tight against my body I can definitely see the outline of the edge seam so keep that in mind if you plan on wearing it under thinner or more sheer clothes.Under a thicker shirt/sweater or anything with a pattern I think it’ll be hidden pretty well.While wearing a size too big (which is better for more activity) yesterday, I did catch myself hunching over a lot more because I felt like my boobs were going to start sagging and I’d have to go readjust. But so far with this one I don’t feel like they’re going to go anywhere. Haven’t done much arms-over-my-head movements to test that though lol.Overall I feel like this will be a great binder if you’re on a budget and don’t mind the thicker edge seam

Let me preface this with "I may have gotten a dud but..."Like I've read in other reviews, the fabric is fairly see-through which is not shown in the product photo. I don't care how see-through the material is, however, so I purchased one anyway. First the good: the cotton inside is very soft and comfortable, it is easy to move in, and compresses just as well as my other garments. Now the bad: the front (stretchy) panel had more length or fabric to it, so no matter how much I adjusted it the seams could not lie flat, causing giant rolls around the neck, bottom ridge, and one armpit. Upon flipping the garment inside out, I could see several large wrinkles and buckles in the cotton fabric. To me, someone who sews and crafts occasionally, it looked as if it was hastily put together and not cut or aligned properly. This garment is impossible to wear out, because even through a very loose shirt the "rolls" are INCREDIBLY visible, as each is at least a quarter of an inch in diameter.As a final note, my correspondence with customer service was less than satisfactory. I was told something along the lines of "this is an entry level product which is probably why it seems different than others you've had in the past" with no acknowledgement of my detailed description of the problem and the shoddy craftsmanship of the garment and the fact that it looks little like the product image. If you have problems with it, don't bother, just return it. Definitely not worth $20.
