If you're used to other brands, but have not used an Origami Customs binder before, please WATCH THIS VIDEO or READ THIS BLOG first!

We want to make sure that our binders are the right choice for you before you purchase.

  • How other binders are built-

With other binders, there is a non-stretch panel in the front and a very thin, stretchy panel in the back. This means when you first get them, they will feel very uncomfortable, and even hurt after a few hours. Then over time, they will stretch out and no longer fit.

The one thing they WILL do however, is compress every tightly at first, and have a flat panel in the front that will give you a very masculinized look. If this is the look you're going for, our binders may not be for you.

  • How our binders are built-

We build our custom binders with an allover power mesh that offers compression binding with some flexibility to help you breathe and have a range of motion. This means that the front panel has some stretch for your safety.

However, because the front panel has some stretch, you will experience a slight contour that you may not be used to with traditional binders. If this isn't what you want, or will increase your dysphoria, our binders may not be right for you. And that's okay!

  • Why we do this-

Our binders are made with your health, safety, and comfort in mind. We use stretch fabrics to help solve some of the problems we see with traditional binders.

-Unlike most binder brands, Origami Customs’ binders do not restrict breathing.

-Our compression binders don't lose their shape over time, due to a dense high-quality stretch panel throughout the interior. 

-Our custom binders can be safely worn all day, as well as for exercise and swimming. Because of the quality, flexibility, and perfect fit, you can breathe and move easily.

-The breathable mesh instead of a flat panel front helps keep you from overheating.

-We want to make sure you stay comfortable and safe so that you can bind whenever you want, without worrying. 

-Origami Customs is also the only company on the market that offers custom sizing for your binder, FOR FREE! Having a binder that fits you perfectly will help with your range of motion, breathing, and comfort. Say goodbye to pinching and back pain!

      Things to know about binding:

      Breast binders are used to compress your chest tissue to create a flatter front under a shirt. Not all people love their breasts, and breast binding reduces the look and feel of having them. 

      Compressing your breasts to get the silhouette you want can help you with body dysmorphia and help you feel great in your body. When done correctly, binding your breasts is safe and can be an excellent alternative to more invasive options like top surgery.

      Our quality customs binders are safe and comfortable to wear every day. All our binders are sweat and swim-capable, so you can wear your binder to help you feel safe and affirmed while you work out or swim.

      There are thousands of reasons that binders may make you feel great in your body! These gender-affirming garments help people of all ages, bodies, and genders to feel awesome, no matter what they are doing.

      Binders work by compressing the chest/breast tissue in order to redistribute the tissue into a shape that resembles the pectoral muscles. Compression breast binding may help to alleviate dysphoria in folks who want to achieve a more flattened or masculine appearance.

      Origami Custom’s binders with a free custom fit are comfortable, and compress the chest tissue in a safe way to make sure you stay healthy while feeling great in your body. Binders with stretch (such as ours) are safe to wear all day and when exercising. Binding should never be painful!

      Breast binders can also help to alleviate discomfort caused by larger breasts. 

      While our binders are made to be safe and healthy to wear all day (even while swimming or exercising!), here are some binding best practices.

      -Make sure you stretch after wearing a binder for long periods of time. 

      -Try not to wear a binder on long flights or while sleeping.

      -Wash your binder after every wear to avoid skin issues. 

      -If you work out in your binder, try to shower as soon as possible (to prevent acne). 

      -Refrain from binding if you have a respiratory illness. 

      -Binding should never cause you pain, so if it ever hurts, take a break!

      Why Choose Our Chest Binders?

      A good quality chest binder is more than just a piece of fabric; it’s a tool for empowerment and comfort. Many people who are unhappy with their chest seek a solution that is both effective and safe. At Origami Customs, we understand the importance of feeling confident in your body, and our chest binders are crafted to provide exactly that.

      Our binders are specifically designed to help you safely bind your chest. Unlike other products on the market, which can cause discomfort, pain, or even injury, our binders prioritize your well-being. Made with an all-over power mesh, they offer a comfortable and safe fit that allows your ribs to expand naturally when you breathe. This means you can wear your binder all day without experiencing the negative side effects that often come with other products.

      Safety Comes First

      Safety is a top concern when it comes to breast binding. Many people turn to alternatives like Ace bandages or poorly made binders, which can lead to serious health issues such as breathing problems, rib bruising, and skin irritation. Origami Customs’ chest binders are different. We use a dense stretch panel throughout the interior of the binder, ensuring that it compresses your chest tissue evenly and safely. This design prevents the common problems associated with non-stretch panels found in cheaper binders, making ours a safe chest binder option.

      Comfort You Can Trust

      Comfort is another crucial factor in choosing the right binder. No one should have to sacrifice comfort for the sake of binding their chest. Our binders are not only safe but also incredibly comfortable. The stretch fabric we use is designed to move with your body, whether you’re working out, swimming, or just going about your day. This flexibility ensures that our binders are comfortable chest binders that you can wear daily without any discomfort.

      Custom Fit for Every Body

      What truly sets Origami Customs apart is our commitment to providing a custom fit at no extra cost. We understand that every body is unique, and a well-fitting binder can make all the difference.

      Our binders are made to your exact measurements, ensuring a fit that is both secure and comfortable. A custom fit not only enhances comfort but also reduces the risk of health issues, making it easier for you to bind your chest safely.

      Made to Last

      In addition to being safe and comfortable, our binders are also incredibly durable. Unlike cheaper alternatives that lose their shape and effectiveness over time, our binders are made from high-quality materials that stand the test of time. You can trust that your Origami Customs’ binder will maintain its fit and functionality for months to come, providing you with reliable support whenever you need it.

      If you’re looking for a chest binder that is safe, comfortable, and of the highest quality, Origami Customs is the brand for you. Our commitment to safety, comfort, and a perfect fit makes our binders the best choice for anyone seeking to bind their chest effectively and comfortably.
