Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I bought my first binder two weeks ago and it finally came. I'm pretty disappointed in it. I'm kinda chubby with a 36B chest or something like that. I'm 17 and still in the closet so its not like I can buy a bunch of binders. I bought a tri top and it rolls under my chest and you can see the outline through my shirt. It doesn't bind very well either. I mean there's little difference between how the binder compresses over a sports bra. I also noticed it has no compression on top and though it's the correct size it just gets my moobs crowding the armpits. Am I the only one that has this problem? It's comfortable but, nothing magical or really worth the money.

That does sound unusual. I was a 36 B and bought the medium size which bound my chest perfectly. I was chubby too although not overweight. Maybe buy a bigger size? Good thing about GC2B is they make it easy to do exchanges and their customer service is very good. I'd email and ask for their advice.

I just received my new binder from them about two weeks ago too and it doesn't seem to bind as tightly as the others I have from them either. I did go up a size though from a medium to a large because my back has gotten wider and the medium was cutting off the circulation in my arm. I figured it just felt looser because it was the next size up but maybe there's some kind of production issue. I would call or email them and see if you can exchange it for another one. I'm not sure if I'll bother since I'll hopefully be having top surgery this spring and mine's not so loose that it affects the look of my chest too much except in tight shirts.
