Lycra Bra Binder - Ember
Who says a chest binder has to blend in? Our Ember Lycra Bra Binder combines the softness of your favourite everyday bra with the compression of a chest binder in a rich, warm orange-red that brings a little extra confidence to your wardrobe.
Inspired by glowing embers, this earthy red-orange is bold without being loud. Whether it's peeking out beneath an open shirt, paired with your favourite swim bottoms, or simply making you smile when you put it on, Ember proves that gender-affirming clothing can be functional and fun.
Don't let the word "bra" fool you. This is a true chest binder, built with our signature Powermesh to provide significantly more compression than a sports bra or compression top. And unlike a sports bra with elastic bands that push up chest tissue for “cleavage”, our soft underband will help your chest tissue flatten. If you're looking for a flatter chest without the intensity of our highest-compression binders, this style offers the perfect balance of comfort and support.
We build our binders differently for your safety! Unlike traditional chest binders with rigid front panels, our binders are designed with stretch throughout the entire garment. This helps your chest expand naturally as you breathe and move, creating a comfortable, natural-looking bind that doesn't leave you with pain and discomfort.
Made with silky-soft athletic Lycra, this binder has no clasps or closures and features smooth, finished edges, making it one of our most sensory-friendly styles. It's also fully reversible front to back, with two scoop necklines of different depths, so you can choose the neckline that works best with your outfit.
Soft, Comfortable Compression
The Lycra Bra Binder offers medium compression that's supportive enough for everyday binding while remaining incredibly comfortable to wear for long periods. It can also be used as a swim binder!
Wide-set shoulder straps help reduce pressure on your neck and upper back, while the soft double Lycra band around the ribs provides support without the digging and pinching of traditional elastic.
Made to Move With You
Whether you're swimming, working out, travelling, or simply adding a little more colour to your day, this gender-affirming chest binder is designed to move comfortably with you.

Why Choose a Custom Chest Binder?
A properly fitting binder is one of the biggest factors in how comfortable binding feels. That's why every Origami Customs binder includes FREE custom sizing, so it's made specifically for your body.
Every custom binder includes:
-
Handmade in our Montreal studio by our all trans and queer team
-
Inclusive sizing with no added cost for larger bodies
-
Our Perfect Fit Guarantee. If your custom binder doesn't fit perfectly, we'll work with you to make it right.
If the difference between your chest measurement and rib measurement is 9 inches (23 cm) or more, this may not be the best style for you. We recommend our Side-Open Mesh Racerback Binder, which is designed to provide better compression for larger differences between chest and rib measurements.

HOW TO MEASURE
Chest/Bust: Measure around the fullest part of the chest, with arms relaxed down at sides and without a bra. Keep the measuring tape parallel to the floor. Keep the tape comfortably snug but not tight, which will include measuring the space between the chest tissue. Do not squeeze the chest tissue flat.
Ribs/Underbust: Around your ribcage where a bra band sits. Measure on the exhale. Make sure to measure under the breast tissue
Waist: Measure around natural waistline, which appears as a crease when bending to one side.
High Hip: Measure just over the hip bones, where the waistband of a low rise bottom would sit
Low Hip: Lift one leg to see the bend where the hip and leg meet. The low hip measurement is taken by measuring around the bum at this level. Keep the measuring tape parallel to the floor.
