GC2B Binders

[Nygeel]

A friend of mine posted that they bought a binder through GC2B. I checked out the site here and it seems like a good alternative. The cost is only $35 for a long binder. Has anybody used this company?

I came across them when I was researching binders. I've heard a lot of great things about them too, but I don't have any personal experience with them. I'd be glad to hear others' comments though since I'm seriously considering trying them out.

I didnt' use their binders, didn't even know about them (now it doesn't matter). I have used their compression shirts. They make nice products, from what I have seen. They make them in the US which is rare for clothing.

I ordered two binders from them as they looked like they may actually work, still haven't arrived yet though. I'll post a review on here once they do.

So I've finally got them and to be honest I'm disappointed. I'm a 34 inch in chest size so I ordered the large bcos I thought that would be best. In hindsight maybe I should have ordered a medium. Wearing a t shirt I still look like I have two lumps on my chest,  although maybe they look like pecs, I'm not an expert on these these things. The material is nice though, much better than my tri top underworks binder and the quality is better too.

I ordered a gc2b binder for myself yesterday! Woot! I'll let ya know when I get it.

Also Elis, on the sizing on the gc2b website it says that a size 34 chest is on the line between a small and a medium. So I would definitely say return it for a medium and see if that works better for you.

I have 2 and they are useless for me, which is saying something cause my chest is very minimal. Could be because of the way my body distributes weight and me being light for my height though. I always have to get an XS binder, with exception to Asian made ones, where a small is efficient. I have to wear both of these and a tightish muscle tank to bind how I like to. I'm still waiting for my new one from another company so I don't have to do that anymore because it is far too hot where I live to do so. It doesn't restrict my breathing or movement but the sweat and heat rashes are disgusting

[AbeLane]

So this is my first binder ever and I don't have anything to compare it to, but I'm really liking it. I took some pics so you guys could see. I'm fairly small, but I can really see the difference. It's not too restricting, about what I expected from a binder, but like i said, I don't have much to compare it to.

Actually you look fine, would not have seen moobs there, but then I think we might notice them more than others. Like you say, you aren't too big without anything. But I do see a difference. This is to Abe, btw.

Thanks. Yeah I can hide them pretty good depending on what I'm wearing sometimes, but when I have tighter shirts on I feel like it's so obvious. And there's just something about feeling flat when I put my hands there that feels so right and great.

[Elis]

Thought I'd better update this. I exchanged the binders for a medium and my chest is now really flat, better than an underworks binder. I would highly recommend it. Just make sure to measure yourself correctly and buy a binder that's within those measurements, don't do what I did and go for the size up bcos I thought it would be too tight. The material is really nice too (better than my under works binder) and the customer service was great.

Glad you got it all worked out Elis!

I wear a medium from underworks and got the small from GC2. I measure 35 around my chest and the small is for like 35-37. I'm wondering if I should have gotten an XS. But I'm 6'3 I haven't worn an extra small since middle school. It's definitely more comfortable than my underworks. And I've slept okay in it when necessary, but my underworks bodysuit makes me much flatter, and I can shift my chesticles so i look like I have pecs. In the GC2 they still look round, like breasts, instead of more square. I needed to replace my bodysuits because I've had them for sooooo long. Thought I'd try GC2 because they're supposed to be more comfortable. Now I kind of want new bodysuits but don't want to spend the money. But Top Surgery is still another 6+ months away. I think I have to suck it up and splurge.

In the size chart I'm looking at, a 35 is a medium, are you sure you're thinking of the same thing? The small is 32-34, and the medium a 34-36.

The sizes must vary depending on what one you get. Seriously though, my small doesn't bind well enough and I'm an A cup, 35 inches around the center of my chesticles.

Did you order from site Nygeel posted? I'm only asking so much because there's just one chart on their site and I just don't want reviews for different products to get confused, you know? I've heard nothing but good about gc2b but I have heard lots of bad from a similarly named company (that I can't recall right now) so I just want to make sure we aren't confusing the two.

Damn.. That might be what happened.. Maybe I'll try one of these next paycheck..

Just posting this because I ordered a Medium but measured out at 38 inches. I had to return it for a large. I'm a medium in everything else so I was scared to get a different size but the binder wouldn't get on at all. So trust me, follow their measurements! I mailed mine back last Tuesday (the 20th) so I'm still waiting for them to contact me about the whole process of sending me a new one so I'm not sure how well they are yet. The material felt pretty good, but the front comes up higher than it looks in pictures. Not an issue for me but just throwing it out there.
