why get a binder?
We know that not everyone who’s born with chest tissue loves it. If this is you, you’re not alone! Many people desire a flatter chest and find that wearing a compression binder is a great solution to help you feel comfortable in your body.
Binding your chest can be an excellent way to treat body dysmorphia and the anxiety or depression associated with having chest tissue. Boob binding can also be a cheaper and safer alternative to top surgery or a first step in deciding if top surgery might be right for you.
Wearing a compression breast binder will compress your chest tissue to create a flatter front. While you can achieve the silhouette you desire with an Ace bandage or a cheap binder, a poor-fitting compression system can cause breathing problems, rib bruising and fractures, chest and back pain, overheating, and skin irritation.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
We’ve created safe binders that don’t constrict your breathing when you bind your chest. We make our custom binders with an all over power mesh that flattens your breast tissue while allowing for some flexibility. Our safe binders let your ribs expand when you breathe.
Our compression binders are comfortable because we build them differently than other brands. We have to a dense stretch panel throughout the interior that allows for freedom of movement. With other binders, there is generally a nonstretch panel in the front and a very thin, stretchy panel in the back. This makes them uncomfortable and even painful after a few hours.
We provide high-quality binders that don’t lose their shape over time. Cheaper binders stretch out through wear and no longer fit. Because we make our products with a full stretch panel and high-quality products, you won’t have to replace them after a few months.

FAQs about chest binding-
Make sure to choose a binder that fits you correctly. It may be tempting to size down for that super flat look, but wearing a binder that's too small can affect your health.
A binder that's too small it can affect your breathing, making things uncomfortable and potentially impacting your respiratory health.

Every person is different, and the larger your chest is, the harder it will be to get a flat front. We try our best to show each style in various body shapes so that you know exactly what you can expect.
Below we've ranked our binders in order of the compression they provide, so you can choose the level of compression based on the silhouette you're aiming for.
1. If you have more prominent shoulders, we suggest a side-open style to make sure you can get it on and off easily.
2. If you are choosing a binder with a side opening, it’s important to note that it does take some upper body strength to close the binder tightly around the body.
4. If the difference between your chest and your ribs is 9 inches or more, we highly suggest a side-open style to ensure that the binder can be tight enough around your rib cage.

Need Help Deciding
which binder is for you?
The main thing you'll need to decide is how flat you want your chest vs. how comfortable you want to be. Watch this video explaining chest binding compression levels!
Choose your compression level-
Highest Compression
These are our max compression options, but unlike many other binder options, you can safely wear our high-compression binders all day long. (See the video!) They offer high support with a flexible, healthy bind.
Medium- high compression
These binders are perfect if you want to wear a binder every single day. (See the video!) They offer a great level of compression while remaining comfortable during workouts, swimming, and all the ways you move.
Medium Compression
These binders offer moderate compression, with less coverage. (See the video!) Both options come with lycra panels, so you can choose from a wide range of colors and patterns. These options are ideal if you don't want your binder to show under your clothes, you don't need high compression, want a swim binder, or you don't like the feel of thick straps.
light compression
These top are included here, although *technically* they are not binders.
We offer them as super-comfortable, soft options for folks who want some compression (like a sports bra) but with a longer, binder-style cut. They're sensory-friendly due to the hidden seams and buttery soft lycra. And you can choose two colors on our Reversible Lycra Binder! (See the video!) It's a win-win!
