Idtswch Chest Binder For Transgender Breast Binder Half Ftm Binder chest compression Bra

First, I will say that I am quite used to chest binders not fitting me well. But this one is a whole new level of sizing tomfoolery.I ordered what I was supposed to order according to the size chart. There's about 4" of loose fabric all over (except for right around the bust). It's quite entertaining. I'm keeping it because somehow it manages to bind somewhat while not hurting my back, but I'm also going to try and order a size or two smaller, lol.Definitely doesn't run small, IMO. But I guess it's also constructed much different than GC2B binders, which is what it gets compared to a lot, so maybe it just depends on your body shape/type. Apparently mine is uncommon. This thing goes on as easy as a t-shirt. I'll update my rating as soon as I have the right size.UPDATE: Ordered 2 more, one in a Medium (32) and one in a Large (34). Basically exactly equivalent to GC2B sizing, or their old sizing at least. I haven't bought one from them in quite some time, but there's a picture of this brand's medium next to a VERY worn out GC2B medium. Both sizes go on easy, the medium "fits" and the large is a little loose but more comfy which is exactly what I was going for when I re purchased. Basically exactly the same as GC2B sizing. Happy I purchased in the right size, and I wish I hadn't listened to the reviews the first go & that I had just stuck to my instincts about interpreting the size chart. (basically measured around the largest point of my chest as the manufacturer instructions say, that resulted in something 4 sizes too big. So I'm not sure exactly how you're supposed to get the correct size but I wear a medium in GC2B and this medium fits pretty well.) Skintone was the og 2X, black is large and white is medium

I'll preface by saying that over the past two months, I've made it my mission to go through and try out different binders to see what's available as alternatives to gc2b. this was one of my first purchases, and while it isn't my favorite, i am still happy with it.idtswtch itself is not a trans-geared company. any company that makes and markets zip-up and clasp style binders is not doing so with safety in mind. i do, however, have this company's regular compression and racerback models, and the sizing is consistent between them, as well as accurate. To test this, I bought both the recommended size and one size up, and the size up was in fact too loose.Quality-wise, I've worn this one a handful of times, and the back mesh has already separated from the shoulder band on one side. Upon arrival, there were loose strings, and the stitching is inconsistent in places. It is comfortable, however, and the biggest plus is that it doesn't hitch up into my armpits, even after an entire day of wear.As others have pointed out, it has a weird elastic band on the bottom that I haven't found anywhere else. This is both good and bad.The good: it makes it very secure and is great for working out in. This binder has a slightly looser fit than gc2b/xuji, but the elastic keeps it in place and makes it easier to breathe while still keeping your boobs down. I love doing light exercises or physical work in this one, and running has become much more enjoyable now that I don't feel my chest curses moving around as much, and I don't have to worry about the binder slipping up or twisting. (Please don't do heavy exercise in a binder, though!)The bad: the elastic fits tighter than the compression fit, and I end up with a weird 'boob pocket' where they meet. It looks awkward more than feels awkward, but minutely so. Honestly, to other folks who probably aren't looking that hard, it really isn't that noticeable. The elastic also makes it harder to take off and so I end up pulling on the shoulders to remove it.Overall, I do like this binder a lot as a workout or back-up binder, and I will likely buy another when this one comes apart, which I do expect. For the price, it isn't bad, but if you're looking for a solid binder closer to gc2b, I would go with Xuji, which is only a dollar more.

This is perfect for the price for sure. 10 out 10 must try again. Just stick with your normal shirt size and u good

I was a little scared at first and bought a bigger size bc people said to size up but it was too big I stuck to my size and i love it

I got the long tank version thinking I could tuck it in like an undershirt, but if I raise my arms at all, it just scrunches up. Also since there's no bottom band in the chest area, I have to wear a sports bra under it so my boobs don't just smush out the bottom of the binder part, which I feel like defeats the purpose. Aside from that it does a pretty good job flattening, just don't plan to do any physical activity.

This is a unique binder in my opinion. I like the full torso ones because they help with my curses but they always seem to roll up. This one has a good amount of chest compression with a looser belly fit. It takes some getting used to but I have started to like it. Since it fits looser in the belly area it does not roll up as much. But it does not compress the curves as much either. So take that with a grain of salt and see what type of belly compression you like. The only issue I have with this is that I am 5’9 and 130lbs and I had to get a medium because the small was too short and fit like a crop top lol

Great! Already I’m p flat, but this just helps out really. Cheaper than GC2B, and according to friends that use GC2B, last longer too. You can swim in them, which is nice, but as expected it takes a while to dry. It has a good mesh on the back for ventilation, and it doesn’t squeeze too much, so there’s not too many issues with my chest hurting! Great!

This binder is extremely good as I was looking for an alternative to gc2b that isn’t one of the ones with the dangerous clasps on. Did get a bit itchy on the first couple of wears but once it had been washed a few time it was fine.However if u are buying this with the intention of swimming in it bare in mind that the polyester panel at the front is black and as soon as u get it wet the skin tone goes see through and it just looks black. This may make some people dysphoric. It’s great for just wondering around shirtless though if ur the kinda guy with enough confidence for that.Also the sizing chart for this product looks like it’s taken from gc2b website so I just got the same size as my black full tank gc2b and it seems to fit me well.Hope u found this review helpful

Second binder I've bought, had the cropped version but after a few wears discovered it didn't keep my chest in and I'd fall out the bottomI've tried this on for the first time and already I have a problem - by the armpits are small folded bits of excess fabric which would poke out through a shirt. I also feel this doesn't bind as well as the cropped ones, I have slightly more noticabley round shape from the front even if my chest is tucked to the side to my armpits. I'm a big guy I wear a large/xl and it isn't restricting in my stomach which I was worried about. It does feel just like the cropped one with a sewn on bit to cover my belly so will update if I fall out the bottom again like last time, good value for the price so far though and would work well for smaller chested guys - I'm a 36DD for reference

I am not happy. The binder came Saturday looked really great. My daughter could not wait to ware it after 2 days the stitching had come lose on either side of the arms it looks like she has had it for years. I tried to upload few photos but not allow me too. I am cross as this took 3 weeks to arrive . Although looking at first glance it looks great but the quality of the material and stitching is very poor hence why stitching came un done. The fit was great and it did what it was suppose to but the stitching was not great. 😢😡

As a trans man I've been trying my best to find a binder that flattens the chest and gives a more masculine look. I'd tried other websites and been disappointed. I never thought I'd find the best one on amazon. I could not be happier. It find well and I'm able to breathe properly. I wear it to work and I feel very confident. The material feels good. Highly recommended. Will be buying more

So i was getting this binder because well it looked good and why not but once i tryed it on it barley fits. It can’t even go past my neck and i keepedon trying to put it down . I picked out M because it’s my usual and it usually fits with my other binders but this one doesn’t work for me atleast .If u want u can buy this but this is just to let u know
