I've been using layers of sports bras to bind for a while, and while they kind of work, I was wondering if there was a binder that flattened smaller chests without too much pain?
I have scoliosis and posture problems, so I'm extra prone to binder pain. I was just wondering, thank you!

If you can afford them, I'd recommend Loveboat. Kind of pricey and you pay shipping from Taiwan (?). However, they are very comfortable. You can go up in size from what they recommend as I think they bind nicely. The sizing is quite odd and they run small.

You can also look into gc2 compression vests. They don't bind extremely well but they are quite comfortable. They are also cheap ($20). I a muscle type tank over this which works okay.

Thank you! I'll look into getting them.

Just bought a GC2 Gynecomastia FTM Chest Compression Tank because I occasionally have to revert back to my male persona, someone in the FtM forum put me on to the site, whoever you are thanks dude! I'll be a total guy at the appropriate moment and make everyone feel comfortable. Ought to change my name to morphy!  :D  ;D :laugh:

I'm just putting this out there, and people will disagree with me, but IMO your binder should NEVER EVER EVER be painful. Did I mention never ever? If it hurts, it's too tight. I know people with lots of dysphoria can feel that they need to go as tight as they can stand but it's just so detrimental to your body on a whole. I would suggest making changes in attire if you find your chest isn't flat enough for you. A loose t-shirt, a loose hoodie, an extra layer, all these things will make you look flatter without making you unable to defend yourself in a bad situation nor will you be putting your body at risk. Pain means somethings wrong.

Just my two cents.

Hey Morphy :)
Glad it helped. I think they are pretty comfortable. Wouldn't work if you were DD or something...

No big A small B which is no big deal really, but there are some occasions about forty days out of the year where I have to revert back into full male mode and this will be just the ticket. Some MtF's wouldn't feel comfortable doing that, but since I don't wear makeup and dress all girly I get clocked as FtM half the time anyway it really doesn't faze me. Gee, maybe I should change my name... :laugh:

Thanks for the input guys!
