If you like the GC2B Racerback, this is a pretty good clone
So, for the sake of comparison, I'm currently a little too small for a GC2B 4xl, but have not tried a 3xl. Chest/ribcage measurements are 52" over and 44" under. I ordered a 4xl and a 5xl in this binder, and also in the mesh back half binder style .This binder has the same issue as all the GC2B half binders, in that the front sort of floats away from the body if you have a big difference between chest and ribcage measurements. I was definitely falling out of the bottom of the 5xl, but the 4xl seems snug and secure through a lot of goofy windmilling arm movement. There's definitely a gap at the bottom (see photos), but it doesn't flare out a great deal.The neckline and armholes have a thin elastic binding and don't stick out under clothing as much as the folded and double-stitched hems on my GC2B, and the size of the armholes doesn't lead to a lot of spillage, so that's good. On the first and second try-on there were a few thread-popping noises that made me worry about stitching quality, but I haven't noticed any damage so far.Overall, well worth twenty bucks. Maybe check out the non-racerback version if you have very wide shoulders or need a tight bottom band.

A pretty good first binder.
I'll start by saying that this is my first binder, so I don't really have much to compare it to. What I've worn previously have been high impact sports bras. This is more *and* less comfortable than one of those. The material of the front is very, very stiff. It has no stretch whatsoever. Honestly, it feels a little like a tarp. All of the stretch (which isn't much) is in the back, particularly in the racer back portion. There is a very hard seam just below this where the fabric changes to something stiffer and less breathable. I feel like this seam could really start to cause irritation after a while. However, as someone who struggles with acne on my upper back, I appreciate the fabric change at the top.I also like that all of the pressure is around the middle rather than on the shoulders as I've experienced with the high impact sports bras, which has been increasingly causing me pain lately. I wasn't expecting to get that relief - if anything I thought it would be worse.I also liked that the lack of a band around the bottom actually made this *easier* to breathe in than a tight sports bra. I have a disabling medical condition that causes fainting, so I have always been afraid to bind, no matter how bad the g.d. is. I'm glad to know that this is possible for me now!As far as the fit is concerned, I have sort of mixed feelings. I was in between sizes, and I chose to size down because I have a smaller ribcage, and I knew there would be significant gaping there otherwise. It wasn't that hard to get on.It it fits pretty well, though there is still loose fabric at the bottom. It's not terribly visible under clothing, so the only concern I have is that the binder will stretch out and my chest will spill out the bottom. Everyone's body is different, but I haven't found there to be much more of a back fat/underarm fat issue than I've had with sports bras, so I'm pleasantly surprised by that. I would probably wear this with my tank tops if it were hot enough without feeling too self conscious. For reference, I am a fairly medium-sized person, but I have broad/athletic shoulders and arms.I think it looks better under loose clothing because I think it still looks the slightest bit lumpy on me. It may be different for others, but my chest tissue is very dense and firm, so it's kind of hard to flatten *too much*. I find that it tends to push toward bulging in the center a bit more than I'd like, even after rearranging. Again, this is my first binder, so I don't know if that's a common problem experienced with all brands.Overall, I'm keeping it, but I'm not sure I'd buy a second one of this style. I'm glad I got it because I'm learning from the experience. I tried it under looser clothing and how good it looked shocked me. I was not prepared to see myself looking even as flat as this made me, and it was kind of emotional. If I find that it doesn't stretch out much with wear, I may still decide to buy another because of the racerback and the price.

Great product!
Fits perfectly & despite my 44DD breasts, was able to keep them in place & with little to no spillage on the sides.

Not great
The material is not breatheable and feels the same as a plastic halloween costume. Yes, it does compress and flatten a tiny bit. However, the cons outweigh the pro.Pro: Flattens chest a little bitCons: Uncomfortable material (a little itchy), hard to put on/take off, and has a lot of loose fabric at the bottom.If I went running in this, I feel it would chafe the skin overtime and retain all sweat making it incredibly uncomfortable. I wear bra size 34C. The flattening is more of a smoothing and the size of my chest hardly changes.

Odd fit
I bought this for minimizing under certain clothing. It is fine for that, however it is just as wide at the bottom "hem" as it is across the chest so the "hem" does not touch your skin. And the garment is not very long - midriff at best so if you are larger busted, the garment will rise as you lift your arms and then your bust will drop below. It could be comical! The garment should be longer and/or elasticized in the front enough to bring the "hem" in to the chest in order to keep the bust within the garment. I popped a stitch putting it on so will keep it and add my own elastic, but if I had to do it again, would keep shopping and not buy this manufacturer's product.

works perfect for my first binder
I was on a budget trying to find my first binder. I wanted one that looked discreet and isn’t too noticeable by my parents.I’m around 5’2” right now and ranging from 175-180 lbs. My bra size varies but i usually wear a 38C. My body shape is kind of like a rectangle but i am a little over weight for my age. I got an extra large racer back one based on their measurement chart. It fits so well. I wore it for about 5-7 hours the first day and i never felt any pain. It flattens my chest almost entirely!This is a perfect option for people looking to buy their first binder! I’m hoping to get more soon!

The material is smooth and comfortable but the size is not is accurate
When buying a product keep in mind that it would truly be a lot smaller than your normal size so buy a larger size I made a mistake and got a size there was one up more than my average I am a 42 Double D and I ordered the 4X well let's just say it feels like I'm wearing 2x if you have a nice full set of jugs the 4x will definitely not cover your jugs it would be short so definitely get 2 times larger than your size. But I can say that the material feels smooth and comfortable just wish I got a larger size

Do not buy
This had Only worn three times and all the thread came out of it leaving holes so no longer fit properly and hadn’t even been washed yet rips far too easily material is horrible! Definitely would not recommend to anyone or buy again so please do not buy this product as the price is not worth paying for the product you recommend.
P**.

Large at the bottom
Its amazing and does what it’s supposed to the only thing is at the bottom of the binder it is baggy but for me that doesn’t cause any issues. This is the best binder on Amazon that is affordable for me.
