recommendations for first binder

[YBtheOutlaw]

My background story aside, I'll get straight to the point. I'm thinking it's high time i ordered a binder. I don't know if I'll end up buying one but I'm seriously considering it. Here are the details... I live in south asia. I'm fairly large chested, say on the larger end of C, maybe even D but haven't tried D yet. And i don't have much money on me, although i would consider spending if the binder is really worth it.

So what will be the best choice for me? I'm kinda lost since it's my first, and i don't have an idea about price ranges, like if this or that is worth it's price. I've seen good reviews on gc2b binders, but since they're shipped all the way from US I've been wondering if there may be better options for me. What would you recommend? Thanks beforehand!

Hey there,

Do you have a particular price range in mind that you're willing to spend? That would help narrow it down.

I would wager that GC2B and Underworks will be the two most recommended brands. I believe they're both shipping from the US. I've only ever owned Underworks, and they worked great for me. The full length tanktop is the one that I would recommend if you're on the larger side.

You could also look into buying one from someone else. A lot of guys post theirs on Tumblr or FTM Facebook groups after they have top surgery. You could offer to pay to have it shipped to you.

about prices, well i maybe expecting them too cheap since price range for clothing items is quite low in our country so my instincts are built on that. Around 15$ maybe?

Haha it's gotta be much higher than 15$ i suppose. Just looked around the underworks site. There's this 'ultimate chest binder tank' for 30$ which i think is a good choice. is it? Do you have an idea how they might charge for shipping?

Also looking around on gc2b site, tank top binders are for 35$. Well what will be the better option...

I've got an ultimate chest binder tank from underworks, but it's my only binder so i can't say for sure it's the best.

All i can say is i had to cut it down because it was quite long and crumpled up a bit, making it less comfortable... and that you should remember to measure yourself properly first, check the size guides on the sites

I think i might have measured my bust size and not my chest size because mine's a bit loose.

I'm going to try the GC2B ones next wooo
