A friend of mine posted that they bought a binder through GC2B. I checked out the site here (http://www.gc2b.co/) and it seems like a good alternative. The cost is only $35 for a long binder. Has anybody used this company?
I came across them when I was researching binders. I've heard a lot of great things about them too, but I don't have any personal experience with them. I'd be glad to hear others' comments though since I'm seriously considering trying them out.
I didnt' use their binders, didn't even know about them (now it doesn't matter). I have used their compression shirts. They make nice products, from what I have seen. They make them in the US which is rare for clothing.

I ordered two binders from them as they looked like they may actually work, still haven't arrived yet though. I'll post a review on here once they do.
So I've finally got them and to be honest I'm disappointed. I'm a 34 inch in chest size so I ordered the large bcos I thought that would be best. In hindsight maybe I should have ordered a medium. Wearing a t shirt I still look like I have two lumps on my chest, although maybe they look like pecs, I'm not an expert on these these things. The material is nice though, much better than my tri top underworks binder and the quality is better too.
I ordered a gc2b binder for myself yesterday! Woot! I'll let ya know when I get it.
Also Elis, on the sizing on the gc2b website it says that a size 34 chest is on the line between a small and a medium. So I would definitely say return it for a medium and see if that works better for you.
I have 2 and they are useless for me, which is saying something cause my chest is very minimal. Could be because of the way my body distributes weight and me being light for my height though. I always have to get an XS binder, with exception to Asian made ones, where a small is efficient. I have to wear both of these and a tightish muscle tank to bind how I like to. I'm still waiting for my new one from another company so I don't have to do that anymore because it is far too hot where I live to do so. It doesn't restrict my breathing or movement but the sweat and heat rashes are disgusting
So this is my first binder ever and I don't have anything to compare it to, but I'm really liking it. I took some pics so you guys could see. I'm fairly small, but I can really see the difference. It's not too restricting, about what I expected from a binder, but like i said, I don't have much to compare it to.

Actually you look fine, would not have seen moobs there, but then I think we might notice them more than others. Like you say, you aren't too big without anything. But I do see a difference. This is to Abe, btw.

Thanks. Yeah I can hide them pretty good depending on what I'm wearing sometimes, but when I have tighter shirts on I feel like it's so obvious. And there's just something about feeling flat when I put my hands there that feels so right and great.
Thought I'd better update this. I exchanged the binders for a medium and my chest is now really flat, better than an underworks binder. I would highly recommend it. Just make sure to measure yourself correctly and buy a binder that's within those measurements, don't do what I did and go for the size up bcos I thought it would be too tight. The material is really nice too (better than my under works binder) and the customer service was great.

Glad you got it all worked out Elis!
I wear a medium from underworks and got the small from GC2. I measure 35 around my chest and the small is for like 35-37. I'm wondering if I should have gotten an XS. But I'm 6'3 I haven't worn an extra small since middle school. It's definitely more comfortable than my underworks. And I've slept okay in it when necessary, but my underworks bodysuit makes me much flatter, and I can shift my chesticles so i look like I have pecs. In the GC2 they still look round, like breasts, instead of more square. I needed to replace my bodysuits because I've had them for sooooo long. Thought I'd try GC2 because they're supposed to be more comfortable. Now I kind of want new bodysuits but don't want to spend the money. But Top Surgery is still another 6+ months away. I think I have to suck it up and splurge.

In the size chart I'm looking at, a 35 is a medium, are you sure you're thinking of the same thing? The small is 32-34, and the medium a 34-36.

The sizes must vary depending on what one you get. Seriously though, my small doesn't bind well enough and I'm an A cup, 35 inches around the center of my chesticles.

Did you order from site Nygeel posted? I'm only asking so much because there's just one chart on their site and I just don't want reviews for different products to get confused, you know? I've heard nothing but good about gc2b but I have heard lots of bad from a similarly named company (that I can't recall right now) so I just want to make sure we aren't confusing the two.

Damn.. That might be what happened.. Maybe I'll try one of these next paycheck..
Just posting this because I ordered a Medium but measured out at 38 inches. I had to return it for a large. I'm a medium in everything else so I was scared to get a different size but the binder wouldn't get on at all. So trust me, follow their measurements! I mailed mine back last Tuesday (the 20th) so I'm still waiting for them to contact me about the whole process of sending me a new one so I'm not sure how well they are yet. The material felt pretty good, but the front comes up higher than it looks in pictures. Not an issue for me but just throwing it out there.

i measured at 37.5" and was hoping someone of similar size would post their experience. thanks man. :)
Does anyone know if this type of binder would work for a bigger sized chest? I'm around a 34 C. I looked up some reviews but they were all from guys with much smart chests. I have a clasp binder I bought from eBay for about $10 and it works pretty well when I wear layers but it doesn't flatten things out evenly.

I recommend the Underworks 997. It's all I use regularly.
Thanks guys, I'll look into both brands.
no problem. underworks was really uncomfortable for me, so i switched to something else. maybe it'll work for you?! if not gc2b will work really well also... finally saw some bigger chest reviews on their instagram
I have a larger chest (DD), and I finally found a binder I love through LesLoveBoat. The Underworks binders don't work for me because they dig in too much in the armpit areas. Also, the material is too clammy. But they may work better for guys who don't have extra weight in addition to their large chest! I am loving the "Cool Mesh Pullover" full-length model from LesLoveBoat! (Make sure to use their sizing chart - most people have to order 2 sizes larger than their normal size because everything runs small!)
I ordered and received one of their [gc2b] half binders recently. It cost me AUD 58, but that was after postage and currency conversion. They're a lot comfier than the underworks binders, but the front panel doesn't stretch so if you're hoping to eliminate the problem of the binder rolling at the back and being weird.. yeah sorry. I'm a larger chested guy so it's hard to say whether or not it binds great. The half one is actually a bit short and if I position my chest the way I do with my underworks binders, it sticks out the bottom (awkward). That being said, I have no doubts it would bind really well for small chested guys, and it does still bind quite well for large chests. :)

Yeah...I checked the Instagram. Imm having some problems trying to figure out if this is a good choice for me since there aren't too many guys with my shape on there. I have a kinda large chest that droops a lot. I see a few pictures where the bottom of the short binder isn't against the skin, it sticks out. I wonder if I would feel secure like that. Also kinda worried a out roll up because I've got a gut and hips.

Most people I've heard from are bigger guys, and most give it rave reviews. The vast majority of reviews I've heard from within my FB group are positive, or neutral (neutral is "it doesn't bind better, but the same as my previous brand, but its more comfortable").

Hmm...part of my worry is related to how my body has reacted to the t kingdom binder that was long with only compression at the top and the trip top by Underworks. I'm not sure if a binder with only top compression would work well since they haven't so far.
Ive been following this site trying to decide if I wanted to order from them. I'm a 34 GG and unsure of what size to get :/ i just want to feel flat!
Apologies for taking a bit to get back with these, I took the photos straight away and then got sidetracked for a couple of hours. Also, they're not the greatest photos, and keep in mind that the underworks binder is at least a year old.

They're both very good binders, so it's hard to see a distinct difference with a shirt on (and this is a very tight shirt).
However, you can still see that the gc2b binder, because it's shorter, means there's a more distinct lump higher up. As I said, I'm sure if I had a long gc2b it would be easier to flatten out. The other thing you can notice (in the front on photo) is that it has a very distinct spot where it pulls it you can see my body awkwardly jutting back out again. The underworks is a bit longer so it tapers off after my actual chest has ended.
Another thing to mention is that after 4 years of binding, I've got mad granny blobs going on. So the fact that they're already sort of.. well flat and saggy, it helps.
All of the above being said, I strongly suggest that if you're going to choose from the two, keep in mind that they're both about as hard to put on, except I couldn't imagine you ever being able to step into the gc2b or remove it by stepping out, because the front panel does not stretch. However, the gc2b is hands down a whole lot more comfortable than the underworks, simply just because it doesn't leave you itching your armpits for the rest of the day, and I feel like the material is better in terms of getting sweaty and gross.
I've got photos of each without a shirt on, I'm just a little unsure, am I allowed to post those photos here ?
Yes you are allowed, and nothing unpleasant looking (quite a wild shirt!). You look quite flat in both of them. The shirt is sufficient "busy" to distract anyone from looking for chesticles. :)
--Jay
It is quite a handy shirt with all of it's colours, I feel they make up for how tight it is.
As I said, both of the binders are incredibly good and it really comes down to each individuals chest size, and what they consider comfortable I suppose.
I'm proving to be really bad at taking photos, sorry. They're different angles, but it gets the gist of it the same.
(https://41.media.tumblr.com/d5c9889cae7f6315ac74c91a66b92404/tumblr_njqkm588Ey1u7q7vmo3_400.jpg)(https://41.media.tumblr.com/fc7803fa5964364cfd62dbdc11105a31/tumblr_njqkm588Ey1u7q7vmo4_400.jpg)
So there we have again the gc2b on the Left and the Underworks on the right. You can see the distinct length difference, and the way that the gc2b sort of ends up with a bit of an upside down cliff thing happening. The higher bulge can be incredibly visible in some shirts, and no so much in others. In the underworks binder, my granny blobs are positioned probably about an inch further down than in the gc2b. It really depends on your body shape and the clothes you're wearing, because even I find that sometimes having tge gc2b having the bulge a bit higher up is a lot better for what I'm wearing, and sometimes it's just a bad, bad idea. I find having the bulge lower in the underworks helps to hide it because it's closer to my belly and thanks to my graciously bad posture, it sort of makes a nice diagonal.
Thanks for sharing tripdistrans, you look great in both. Maybe you mentioned this in another post and I missed it, but what are your starting measurments?

Oops, I'd forgotten to mention, apologies for that. I was wearing a 14DD/36DD (or 36E in the Uk, I believe), and to put that in perspective, I started binding when I was thirteen and I was (still am) at 159cm (5' 2½"). So really great proportions for a trans guy, sike.
Alright, I took the plunge and bought one. I don't think it will work well for me because I need need need belly/hip compression for clothes to fit better. It might be a binder to wear under layers or something. We'll see.
I have to say, getting my first binder viva GC2B works well if you're a big guy. I'm in the J department and GC2B did very well. I might have gotten a size bigger, but for now, this is the binder to go for big chests.
@Nygeel: As for compression, your best bet is to find a compression shirt designed for men with gynecomastia and chub. Those work well and are thin enough to just wear underneath the actual binder.

Just wondering...when did you order yours and when did you receive it? I got an email saying it can take up to a week to process.
I ordered mine on Feb 15. Got an email saying it was shipping on Feb 23rd. Most of the colors for my size (L) were out of stock. I picked one that was in stock. I ordered the short one in gray.

feb 2nd. i received this message along with my order confirmation:
"Thank you for placing your order with gc2b !
Due to overwhelming demand for gc2b binders, we are asking that you allow us 2-5 days for processing. We knew that people would love our binders but there have been more orders than anticipated. At the moment, we are unable to get them out quick enough, in the 1-3 day range. Thanks to an overwhelming amount of support, we currently have plans for manufacturing growth that will allow us to ship faster, (1-3) days as well as offer expedite shipping. We will be sure to get you your binder a soon as we possibly can. Thank you so much for shopping with us and for your patience with our new company. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions of concerns at gc2bservice@gmail.com.
- gc2b"
in addition to that, i was in the middle of the blizzard that kept everyone home for over one week, so i can't really give you an accurate timeline. i think it normally takes around one week, but that's merely a guess....
Hoping to get a message that it's been shipped today.
received mine. Not completely flat. Not pec-like. Visible monoboob. :( but better than my other binders. Also, comfy. Just a small pinch at the back of each armpit. But I have a full (both fat and muscular) back, so YMMV.
I forgot to post and say I ordered one. I had some concerns with sizing and asked them for advice. They were terribly wrong. So I have to send it back for a bigger one. It won't even fit over my shoulders at all.
I'm also concerned about sizing. I measured 38 which was large and extra large so I chose the extra large.
Also, if you don't have a measuring tape, go to best buy. There's usually a bunch of paper measuring tapes in the applience section. They are supposed to be used to measure refrigerators and stuff to make sure they fit your space.
Tiny bit of an update, no email yet. I'm guessing things aren't happening with production or the ability to process orders at the speed originally predicted.
Alright, so i got my binder today.
Put it on, it's REALLY uncomfortable. I measured 38 inches and bought an XL binder. I felt like there was tons of room in the front. The issue is there's two seams. One at the waist (ish) that goes all the way around and one in the back that's in a really weird spot that goes from the underside of the armpit to the other. I feel like the stitching was too tight and didn't allow for stretching. It made for basically two points in the binder that pinched me and formed a fat roll on my back. When I took the binder off two of the seams ripped. One in the shoulder that goes around the neck of the binder and the one on the back of the binder. I only had the binder on for a couple minutes to take pictures and there were marks from the seams when I took it off.
So, this obviously isn't the right size due to the pulling, but I didn't feel compression anywhere other than the parts with the seams. If I go larger then the seams will be comfortable but I'll have much too much room in the chest since there's already very little compression as it is. Overall, it's just not made for my body. Pretty bummed about this.

So I just got my GC2B BINDER today. Honestly it is really good. The binding effect and the how comfort it feel, no doubt its the best ive ever had. But one thing, when I order my 3 binders, they made me pay priority mailing which is like $24? But if i just order one I'm just paying for 7 which just gonna be a week faster. I can't choose. Finally I got them today which took a week for it to ship. When i opened the package, I was reallyreally disappointed! I ordered 3 XL, they gave me two L and only one XL! I got too much to complain about it. The binder itself is really good. Just the company sucks.
@nygeel I've popped several seams in mine too, both in the weird back part and the binding part from the front. It fits properly otherwise, it's just that as you said it doesn't really stretch, so I popped those seams getting it over my shoulders.
I did not want to start a new thread, but I wanted to let you guys know that due high demand the waiting time is a week to process now.

Also the coloured half binders (in Red and Blue) are back in stock now, which was the reason why I finally bought one.
I ordered on 11 August, a red half binder size small with 30 as a measurement. The size chart stating that it was the borderline between XXS and XS but after I saw a YouTube video, how tiny the XS was. I just went for the small (which is also my size in Juya, Underworks, and Double T). I also have broad shoulders.
It got shipped the 18 August in a plain usps envelope, together with a card how to wash it. I recieved it on 26 August, and I live in Europe.
Subtotal : $33.00 USD
Shipping : $11.25 USD
Total : $44.25 USD
Slipping it on wasn't as hard as I expected, it is just like the Underworks (slip it over your head). The neckline is higher and smaller, so be careful. The small size fits perfects on me, and I like the light fabric. Also the small size is fairly comparable in size small with other companies(laying it on Double T high strength and Underworks Tri Top). The only difference is that it doesn't stop at the belly button but higher up.
The comfort factor is really really good! High breathability, no scratching fabrics. It binds just as well, as the brands that I mentioned.
I would recommend to anyone else.
I heard someone saying that the half binders fit different in different colour options, so I also ordered a blue one. If that one arrives I can give you a comparision.
ps. I did not have the lose thread issue
Sorry no photos since I am a bit shy.
Hey guys so i measured a 46in which is a 4XL binder for gc2b but i tried it on and it was way too big. I'm on the heavier side. I wear a 2XL in mens shirts. I was wondering if in regards to my tshirt size should i get 3XL binder or a 2XL. I've checked other size charts on different websites for a 46in measuremnt and the sizes vary from L to 2XL. Its crazy. This is my first time ordering a binfer and i'm about to exchange it for a smaller size. Just not sure what to get. Looking for advice.

I would just email them and ask their opinion. Their customer service is really good and they make exchanging a painless process.
In case this helps I was between a medium and a large. I'm stocky but not overweight. So I ordered a large which felt loose and didn't bind really at all. So then ordered a medium which felt snug especially after the first few uses but fit well. I'm a size Small in mens shirts and an X small in tshirts
This was also pre T
I ordered twice from them and I had to send binders back. First time I was in the middle between small and medium, ordered a small and was not able to breathe. I asked them via email and they told me to get a medium which would have been perfect dor my messumrements. But when I put that on, I started having a pain in my chest after 2 hours and I had to take it off. It scared me. I sent it back again. They told me to try the large. According to the measurements table on their site, it will be enormous for me... but I ordered it nevertheless because.m I do need a binder and medium scared me. I am now waiting for it to arrive, I will let you know....
