GC2B Binders

[Nygeel]

Alright, I took the plunge and bought one. I don't think it will work well for me because I need need need belly/hip compression for clothes to fit better. It might be a binder to wear under layers or something. We'll see.

I have to say, getting my first binder viva GC2B works well if you're a big guy. I'm in the J department and GC2B did very well. I might have gotten a size bigger, but for now, this is the binder to go for big chests.

@Nygeel: As for compression, your best bet is to find a compression shirt designed for men with gynecomastia and chub. Those work well and are thin enough to just wear underneath the actual binder.

The 997 from underworks is the only thing I know of that has good hip/belly compression.

I've yet to experience it sadly. It is something that is something I wish to try though. Once I get that experience I'll let you know if there are any other options or things that can help.

Just wondering...when did you order yours and when did you receive it? I got an email saying it can take up to a week to process.

[FriendsCallMeChris]

I ordered mine on Feb 15.  Got an email saying it was shipping on Feb 23rd.    Most of the colors for my size (L) were out of stock. I picked one that was in stock.  I ordered the short one in gray.

Just wondering...when did you order yours and when did you receive it? I got an email saying it can take up to a week to process.

in addition to that, i was in the middle of the blizzard that kept everyone home for over one week, so i can't really give you an accurate timeline. i think it normally takes around one week, but that's merely a guess....

[Nygeel]

Hoping to get a message that it's been shipped today.

[FriendsCallMeChris]

received mine.  Not completely flat. Not pec-like.  Visible monoboob.     but better than my other  binders.    Also, comfy.  Just a small pinch at the back of each  armpit.  But I have a full (both fat and muscular) back, so YMMV.

[CursedFireDean]

I forgot to post and say I ordered one. I had some concerns with sizing and asked them for advice. They were terribly wrong. So I have to send it back for a bigger one. It won't even fit over my shoulders at all.

[Nygeel]

I'm also concerned about sizing. I measured 38 which was large and extra large so I chose the extra large.

Also, if you don't have a measuring tape, go to best buy. There's usually a bunch of paper measuring tapes in the applience section. They are supposed to be used to measure refrigerators and stuff to make sure they fit your space.

[Nygeel]

Tiny bit of an update, no email yet. I'm guessing things aren't happening with production or the ability to process orders at the speed originally predicted.

[Nygeel]

Alright, so i got my binder today.
Put it on, it's REALLY uncomfortable. I measured 38 inches and bought an XL binder. I felt like there was tons of room in the front. The issue is there's two seams. One at the waist (ish) that goes all the way around and one in the back that's in a really weird spot that goes from the underside of the armpit to the other. I feel like the stitching was too tight and didn't allow for stretching. It made for basically two points in the binder that pinched me and formed a fat roll on my back. When I took the binder off two of the seams ripped. One in the shoulder that goes around the neck of the binder and the one on the back of the binder. I only had the binder on for a couple minutes to take pictures and there were marks from the seams when I took it off.

So, this obviously isn't the right size due to the pulling, but I didn't feel compression anywhere other than the parts with the seams. If I go larger then the seams will be comfortable but I'll have much too much room in the chest since there's already very little compression as it is. Overall, it's just not made for my body. Pretty bummed about this.

So I just got my GC2B BINDER today. Honestly it is really good. The binding effect and the how comfort it feel, no doubt its the best ive ever had. But one thing, when I order my 3 binders, they made me pay priority mailing which is like $24? But if i just order one I'm just paying for 7 which just gonna be a week faster. I can't choose. Finally I got them today which took a week for it to ship. When i opened the package, I was reallyreally  disappointed! I ordered 3 XL, they gave me two L and only one XL! I got too much to complain about it. The binder itself is really good. Just the company sucks.

[CursedFireDean]

@nygeel I've popped several seams in mine too, both in the weird back part and the binding part from the front. It fits properly otherwise, it's just that as you said it doesn't really stretch, so I popped those seams getting it over my shoulders.

I did not want to start a new thread, but I wanted to let you guys know that due high demand the waiting time is a week to process now.

Also the coloured half binders (in Red and Blue) are back in stock now, which was the reason why I finally bought one.

I ordered on 11 August, a red half binder size small with 30 as a measurement. The size chart stating that it was the borderline between XXS and XS but after I saw a YouTube video, how tiny the XS was. I just went for the small (which is also my size in Juya, Underworks, and Double T). I also have broad shoulders.

It got shipped the 18 August in a plain usps envelope, together with a card how to wash it. I recieved it on 26 August, and I live in Europe.

Subtotal  : $33.00 USD
Shipping  : $11.25 USD
Total     : $44.25 USD

Slipping it on wasn't as hard as I expected, it is just like the Underworks (slip it over your head). The neckline is higher and smaller, so be careful. The small size fits perfects on me, and I like the light fabric. Also the small size is fairly comparable in size small with other companies(laying it on Double T high strength and Underworks Tri Top). The only difference is that it doesn't stop at the belly button but higher up.
The comfort factor is really really good! High breathability, no scratching fabrics. It binds just as well, as the brands that I mentioned.
I would recommend to anyone else.

I heard someone saying that the half binders fit different in different colour options, so I also ordered a blue one. If that one arrives I can give you a comparision.

ps. I did not have the lose thread issue

Hey guys so i measured a 46in which is a 4XL binder for gc2b but i tried it on and it was way too big. I'm on the heavier side. I wear a 2XL in mens shirts. I was wondering if in regards to my tshirt size should i get 3XL binder or a 2XL. I've checked other size charts on different websites for a 46in measuremnt and the sizes vary from L to 2XL. Its crazy. This is my first time ordering a binfer and i'm about to exchange it for a smaller size. Just not sure what to get. Looking for advice.

I would just email them and ask their opinion. Their customer service is really good and they make exchanging a painless process.

In case this helps I was between a medium and a large. I'm stocky but not overweight.  So I ordered a large which felt loose and didn't bind really at all. So then ordered a medium which felt snug especially after the first few uses but fit well. I'm a size Small in mens shirts and an X small in tshirts

This was also pre T
