Cool. I had the same feeling when I bought mine. It's like magic. :D

Happy for you  ;D. There's no better feeling than putting on a binder for the first time and feeling how your chest is meant to be  :)

Just try to refrain from touching in public because people will give you strange looks  ::)

Can it be so that you need to open up your card to internet on your bank's site?

You need to log in and find somewhere to open up the card. Don't forget to close the card again. It protects you from card theft on internet.

Are you a minor? It might be that your parents need to call the bank and change authoroties on your account. Internet shopping might be blocked on your card.

When I got bank cards to my kids they asked if internet shopping is allowed. I said yes.

Have you bought stuff on internet before?

I don't think it's that either because I've bought things online before -Ethan

Have you pressed the wrong pin code too many times?

Do you have valid date on the card? The card is not too old?

Call the bank on tuesday and ask them what is going on.

I ordered from c2gb some months ago. I had no problems.

Yes I'm going to call them, I think it's because I am in the UK and GC2B is in dollars so my money is in pounds and I'm trying to order in a different currency but I'm really not sure. -Ethan

Currencies should not matter.  I live in Sweden and ordered without problems.

I would just set up a PayPal account;  it makes buying things online a lot simpler and quicker.

Congrats!

Just be sure to do your research and learn how to wear it safely, okay?  I'm sure you don't need any broken ribs.

First of all, congrats!! How did you figure out the sizing?
I went shopping yesterday and got some stuff from the female section and 1 item from men's! I felt so great I decided to go out just with my new clothes :D But I also bought something like a sports bra (an XS tank top that is very tight), I wore it for an hour in an attempt to 'bind'. But I got this awful chest pain that hasn't gone away yet even though I've been without that shirt for 24 hours straight. Any ideas guys?

Had the same problem when trying the sports bra method. Should go away within the next few days; probably just bruised your ribs. Unlikely you caused any permanent damage.

I found with GC2B it caused me no pain whatsoever; even when wearing it all day.

I also found when buying a binder you'll often get it wrong even when measuring your chest carefully. With under works I wondered one too small; with GC2B I ordered one too big

I got help with sizing by messaging the staff of the GC2B website and I found them extremely helpful. ;) and I'm sorry I've never bonded before so I'm not sure

Is your chest pain worse when you press on the connections of the bones? (Worse when you press in but let's up some after you release pressure?

It could honestly be because your body isn't used to it.
Gc2b makes a big deal about working your body into a binder, start off with an hour or two a day, giving your bod rest days, and then slowly increasing the time.

I had been binding for a few months and suddenly had horrible chest pain that turned out to be costochondritis. Also known as, inflammation of the cartilage of the chest and ribs. I never exceeded the time and was always careful to not overdo it, but my body is prone to inflammation.
It cause massive pains in my chest that had doctors so concerned they wanted to make sure it wasn't my heart.
