Binder Help, sizing?

[ItsNick]

Alright, so I've always been small breasted. I mean, I still wear training bras that my mother got for me when I was 12-13?
I used ftmbinder's (underworks) sizing and measured my bust and fullest part of my chest. When both were averaged, the result was 29 inches.
Although im still not comfortable as I want my chest to be completely flat, as I can still see lumps when I wear a shirt.
I'm really tired of wearing flannels or sweaters in the blaring heat because im so insecure.

I was just wondering what was a good binder for small breasted people, if anyone can help me.

I wore GCB2s my last few months before I got my top surgery. Before that I wore underworks. They're both good binders underworks is a little more expensive though. GCB2 you can get full length or half length which is nice when it's hot out. I'd check out the measurements for them on their website and get yourself a measuring tape or a tailors tape. I believe you want to measure just under the nipple? I might be wrong though. I always had to get a binder a size or two up because if it's too small you're going to be struggling to get in it.

If I wore t-shirts I would wear a size up from what I normally wore. Also, short sleeve button ups are great too. Linen ones in particular are good for when it's hot because the fabric is light, and keeps you cool. I wouldn't wear my binders at home, only if I went out or went to work.

Oooh GCB2 sounds good, especially that half length. I'm still attending school and have PE (which is a whole nother problem considering lockerooms) so that looks like it would help a lot. Using their sizing it appears I would be an XXS.
In your opinion would both companies technically be equal in quality, or is one a little better than the other?
Yeah, I wear large shirts but it still doesnt really help since then it kinda just drapes so i always put something over.

They are both good quality, same materials. The GCB2 has a panel on the chest part that flattens you out way better in my opinion. I also didn't sweat as much with it like I did with my underworks. Also underworks seems more geared towards cis-men who have had gynecomastia surgery. GCB2 is made specifically for FTMs so they know what they're doing when it comes to binding. I believe the GCB2 would be great for you especially because you are a small chested dude.

Underworks also makes a half length. They also maintain 2 different websites, one of men with gynecomastia and one for FTMs. I am not sure if they still are, but at one point the measurements for the same products on the two different sites were a little bit different.

I've never personally owned a GC2B, but they tend to get good reviews here. The thing most people have issues with is the initial sizing. I'd measure yourself, then have someone else measure you and see if there's any difference in the two. It's no fun to get all excited about having a binder in X number of days, only to have it arrive and be the wrong size.
