Sohoeva binders effective?

I am wondering if any of you tried their binders:

I am interested in the one with zippers but it doesn't provide enough details or even a good picture.

It looks like a (cheaper?)version of the one on T-kingdom.
I am male because I say so and nothing more.
I don't have to look or act like one therefore.

I've never even heard of it before up until now. I suppose you could give it a shot if you really wanted, but honestly I wouldn't take the risk. It's definitely worth it to spend a little more money on a binder that works a lot better.

I hadn't ever heard of this company. I used T-Kingdom myself and my gut reaction would be, if you can afford it, go with a company that you know has a bit more of a good reputation. But, that's just my opinion.

I've never heard of this company either. I wouldn't take the risk of buying from a seller I wasn't familiar with.
They/them pronouns preferred.

I own the long vest chest binder. They go for like $10 on ebay I think. The binding part is a synthetic non-stretchy fabric like nylon. On one side there's the clasps (about 8 hook in eye closures like a bra). The other side has three elastic strips. I feel the binding area isn't long enough. The closure is in the armpit and difficult to reach. The tank top was also pretty short and I'm 5'3.
So...they're not that great.

I have this brand too. I wouldn't recommend getting one if you have a larger chest or plan on wearing it for a significant amount of time. I've read that these binders can be very unsafe. Some people seem to do fine with them but others, including myself, feel sore after wearing them for only an hour or two. I get that feeling like my ribcage is being compressed when I wear it even on its loosest setting.
Here's the article about the brand and why it's not safe to wear these types of binders.

If I were you I would save up for something better.
