Hey guys -
So I have a gc2b binder and I love it, but it is a little on the tight side. I was actually happy that it's stretched out a bit since it's a bit old (got it back in November). When I do the measurements I fall between sizes so I picked the smaller size. I'm thinking of getting another one and I was going to get the size up this time, but then I started wondering if being on T will change my size? I know T decreases fat in my chest area so will that make me a smaller size? Or will any possible bulking up make my size go up? I just started T about two weeks ago. So I haven't seen any real changes, but I'm just trying to think for the future.
Any advice?
My binder size definitely changed even though my moobs haven't much. Pre-T I measured around 30-32, I don't know exact, and now I measure 35 or 36. It's mostly due to muscle bulk I think but a little may also be weight gain. If you're working out its safe to say you may bulk a bit. I originally had a small GC2B but had to go up to medium not long after starting T, and I'm getting a large next because of my shoulders bulking too and causing extra wear and tear when I pull the binder on. I would recommend sizing up for any GC2B binder if you're between sizes but especially since you've started T pretty recently.
For health stuff, I think if you're between sizes you should order a bigger one.
I had a few different Underworks binders and the sizing stayed consistent for me. I did get a bigger size though, because I was between a large and a medium. The only measurements that changed significantly for me were my shoulders. With starting T and getting more consistent at the gym, my shoulder span increased by several inches. The large still fit, but was much tighter around my shoulders than before.
Thanks for the advice!
I've been on T for 11 months now. At 3 months in, my chest tissue did start decreasing and my fat was redistributing, but my ribs started expanding like crazy, which overpowered the shrinking of the other things! My band-size (for a standard bra) went from 38 to 44... and it's still continuing to expand!
