Title: GC2B disappointment

I had heard so many positives about the GC2B binders that I ordered one. They are midline priced so the expense is close to Underworks. Let me say first off I love the feel and the design of the GC2B, fantastic product. I even had one of their team size for me off my measurements. It fits great in the belly and even across the main portion of the chest. However the armholes are cut wide (extend further into the chest area) and as such, while the front of the chest looks nicely flat, it gives me serious underarm boobs. Back to the drawing board and put this one in the "if I ever lose weight category"

Have you tried moving things around once your binder is on? I found the best way to get myself completely flat was to put the binder on and then manually pull things in different directions until I was completely flat, usually in a down and out direction but if you're struggling with large arm holes maybe up and out would work better.

I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. The arm holes are cut large to prevent the formidable under arm rubbing and cutting that other binders can do. I too get sideboob from their binders but it hasn't given me any unwanted effects when my shirt is on. Is it at least passable if you were wearing a jacket or something a little heavier over it? It is winter :)

Wanted to add: in addition to the moving things around, I would also wear a tanktop over my binder to smooth out any weird lines. Maybe you could try that as well?

I/m going to try it with a light compression shirt like underarmor over it. With a coat or jacket it was fine but a tee, polo or regular shirt was highly obvious
