It is a self esteem boost like nothing else. My chest just magically almost disappeared. Atleast it shrunk several sizes. I will try to wear it to work soon.
I will buy yet another binder next month. Same model. I love it already.

Yeaaaah!!! I wear mine every day unless I'm staying at home, and would definitely love to get another so I don't wear the one I have to death.
If you don't mind my asking, what kind did you get?

This was the one. I realized that wearing a sport top underneath made it even better. Then my chest looks more natural than without with strange kurves below chest. I have size XXXL. I have a lot of chest to hide.

I have the same one, only mine is white! They're such good binders. :icon_cry2:
I may have to try that out though!
My issue is my fat spilling over the arm holes. If it wasn't so hot I'd just wear under armor beneath it, but it's averaging about 90 degrees Fahrenheit over here right now so I would probably die.
Obviously I can't identify with the exact feeling since I'm in the process of going the other way, but in general I know that these victories can be a huge boost for your self-esteem. Congratulations!! Also glad to see you bought a reputable binder. Unfortunately I know a pair of men who caused themselves some serious complications trying to go the DIY route.
Glad to hear you had such a good experience :)
Good to hear it worked so well for you.
I have the same binder ( white so that I know I need to wash it when it starts looking grey :D). I have not yet worn it in anger. I'm a bit concerned that it makes me look quite chesty (XL). It would be fine if I lived in a cooler country where I'd wear a jacket, but I live in a warm area where anything above a shirt is too hot. I still have to try it out under a variety of shirts and figure out what will work best.

A t-hirt or tank top under a shirt would do the trick. Try that out. My xxxl chest almost disappeared. I believe xl will disappear more. But having some body fat (a belly) with completely flat chest might look a bit fake. Guys with large bellies also have a chest.
