binder brands + reviews
have you tried out some binder brands? what are some brands to avoid? what about brands you recommend? hopefully this is a useful resource for people to add on to!
personal experience:
gc2b half tank style: do not recommend. construction of the binder is bad, loose threads, uneven stitching. hurts my ribs after only 2 hrs of binding
fytist half tank: recommend. comfortable with a great bind, however the pits tend to cut into my skin. good construction. unfortunately, it seems like they've gone out of biz :(
wonababi/nonbinarystyle binder for beginners/ultra comfortable half binder: recommend. less bind than the first two binder brands mentioned, but extremely comfortable, like a sports bra with better bind. i had to size down. the binder has good construction and is very sensory friendly.
girlfriend collective dylan bra: partial recommend. not a binder, but a compressive sports bra. fairly comfortable but the elastic band at the bottom of the bra is very tight, and due to the rib issues the gc2b binder gave me, i can't wear this bra longer than 6-8 hours. i would wear the fytist and wonababi binders over this as they both give better bind for more comfort
if you've tried other binder brands like underworks and spectrum, or have tried the same brands i have, feel free to drop your own experiences down below :)
