Does anybody have suggestions for binder brands? Like which ones feel the most comfortable, but aren't too expensive.
GCB2 definitely. Much more comfortable and binds much better than my Underworks binder.
I wore Underworks for years. Never tried GC2B, but they seem to be what people lean towards now.
My only recommendation is based on your size. If you're a bigger guy, get a full length one. The half length ones don't sit well if you're bigger IMO.
I'm actually petite. Not the best size for a guy. lol
But I'm working with it.
Thanks for the suggestions! :laugh:
I just ordered two new ones from Danae, I'll let you know if they're any good or not when they get here.

I prefer the fabric that GC2B binders are made of. Underworks are a sort of mesh that's stiffer, and so with the half length ones (tritop) you get a bit of roll up that can be visible. I also get a bit of roadrash from my underworks one but wearing a thin t-shirt or a vest under it helps. it also helps to stop my chest slipping. I noticed the other day that they've started doing cotton lined ultimate tanks and tri-tops as well, though they're fractionally more expensive.
the GC2B ones have a cotton canvas panel at the front, and the rest is spandex, so stretchier and less stiff.
Danae are a Danish company, so if you're in Europe or the UK, the shipping times/costs might be less than from a US company like Underworks or GC2B.
Seems like the average opinion is GC2B. I might try one from them, see if I like it. :)
Just got my new Danae binders, and I am very pleased. I am a pretty big guy (G cup) and the large with the extra sturdy fabric flattens me down quite nicely without impeding my breathing too much.
