As soon as I saw this post, I ordered one of these binders as well. I have some G2 binders which dont bind flat enough IMHO as well as Underworks 998's which had been my favorite, but I love these much better than Underworks. These get me flatter and with the one side elastic they move with me as well as stretch a bit when breathing so they're more comfortable to wear for long periods of time. I have large shoulders and a small chest which makes it difficult to find binders that compress tight enough and still fit loose enough in the shoulder area to not dig in, these ones definatly do the trick. These look great being worn as-is with no layering needed at all. The only negative thing I would say about them is the side that has the hook and loop closure is quite stiff so after you get the tank top on, that side tends to stick out a bit, my hope is after wearing and washing a bit more that hook and loop side will soften up a bit and lay flatter. My chest size is 36B, I wear Underworks 998 size Small, these tank tops I ordered a size Medium and it fits great. I will be ordering a few more of them today.

Both pics shown below are with just the binder on and no shirt over the top of either. First one is me in my Underworks 998, the second is the tank top binder that this topic was started about.

Okay, so this isn't me buying or selling a binder (I think this is acceptable). Somebody posted about binders on ebay.
This one is $10 in the US, and from what I saw binds alright. For $10, I wouldn't expect it to do much so if you don't have a lot of money to gamble, go ahead and try it out (then write back with what you thought).

Nygeel, this is awesome, ty! I want to get one now but I'm in a debate on whether to get one or not, I'm currently working out and losing extra weight I have so I'm wondering if it'll be safe to buy one and two months later I might be buying another one and so on.
I'm 5'2 and 134lbs atm, not a very tall person, seems the M one is right for me or S.

overdrive, the 998 isn't a very good binder from underworks. Try the tri top or 997.

Nygeel, since you ordered two sizes you might have an answer to my question. If I'm right in between two different sizes according to their chart, should I go up or down?

I'm guessing up since it's two sizes smaller than U.S, if you're a medium/small you'll be a large/x-large? I'm wondering that too.

I measured myself according to their size chart, and I'm literally right on the line between XS and S :/ (Yeah, I'm a tiny guy) It's only $10 so I may order both but I figured if I could get an idea from someone else, that'd work too.

Then go for a medium or large. I'll do the same, probably buy two just in case.

So general consensus would be go up a size or two from what they recommend?

If you are in between sizes on the chart, I'd say definitely go with the bigger size.

I looked at the chart again, The 2XL is for a band size of 85 - 91 cm, or 33 to 36 inches, guess I should have looked a little closer, lol, no wonder it doesn't work for my 46 inch band size.

That's conflicting, I'm pretty sure my "chest" size is 36in(I don't check much and when I buy "bras" they're sport ones anyways that puts me in a medium but the chart says Asia is 2 size smaller than america, I'm a small or medium when I buy shirts. So I'm conflicted if to get a Large or something b/c of the whole "smaller sizes in asia" but my chest isn't 37/38-42 and not even the weight would match.

Just saw these right now.

I measured my chest and saw that I was on the high side for the XL. I ordered an XL and XXL, and the XXL fit way better. Go based off the sizing chart, and if you're close to the high end, go up a size.

Alight, btw Nygeel, does that also work for underworks or is it regular for them?

My experience with underworks, and their sizing is that it's accurate. I measure the widest part of my chest, and just under then average it.

Finally got mine and am pretty pleased with it! It binds decently and is very comfy. The XL fits me perfectly on the loosest setting and I'm 5'5, 165 lbs and last I knew I was a 36B. As long as it proves to be durable, I'll probably order another one or two of these in other colors. I wouldn't get one if you are taller than about 5'5-5'6 though or have a long torso, it's almost too short for me. Overall though I'm quite happy with it for ~$15.

Also, Nygeel, was there any difference in length between the XL and 2XL?

I didn't even try on the XL because the 2XL was fairly tight. They are made for short people. The XXL is on the edge of being too short for me.

I've just received the L and it fits pretty good. I do think I'l have to wear something underneath it because the elastic annoys me (I can be a bit sensitive). I must be short because it's a bit to long for me and it's also kind of to broad at the bottom. The top however fits fine so I'm doubting about getting a smaller size next time.

Thanks for the reply Nygeel! I kinda figured about the length. Oh well, it's good for an undershirt and lounging around.

Thanks Nygeel, I'll check those out. Any experience with the 988's, as I'm very athletic I was thinking of trying one without tummy compression.

Thank you so much for this post. I received mine last week (took about 2 weeks to reach the UK) and they are AMAZING. Binds so much flatter and more naturally from all angles than my T-kingdom one which cost about 6 times the price. Extremely comfortable as well due to the stretchy elastic strips on the side. Only con is that the seams on the left (near the elastic bits) stick out quite a bit especially on lighter fabric. But if you get one in a darker colour or wear a shirt over it, it's not noticeable. The product pics show an obnoxious logo around the upper back area, but the ones I got were totally plain, thankfully.

I was in between an L and XL so bought one of each, have not tried on the L but the XL is a great fit for me (I am Oriental, 5'2, 68 kg, probably a C). Initially I thought even the XL on the largest setting was too small. But the trick to put it on easier, is to rotate the inner binding layer slightly anticlockwise so you can reach the hooks easier, and to first focus on stretching the elastic straps as far as they will go, while doing up the hooks (puffing out the chest helps with handsfree stretching). Once all the hooks are in position it is easy to reposition and squish the boobs down and out. With that technique the XL on smallest setting is perfectly comfortable.

In summary, these are absolutely amazing for guys within their size range. It's a shame they don't make it in more sizes as I think the design is ingenious. Worth at least 3x the price.

Contravene

I know it's already been mentioned but do these still come in discreet packaging? I just want to be 100% sure because there's no telling what will happen if it's intercepted before I can get it out of the mail. My family won't open my mail but all Hell will break loose if they see a package labelled with trans stuff.
