I'm in need of a new binder, and I've heard a lot of good things about the GC2B and I think it's what I want. But I live overseas, so returning something that doesn't fit isn't really an option. So I'm a little concerned about the comments here about the sizing not being true. I'm wondering if this is one of those times where the vocal people are the ones who have problems. Has anyone had a positive experience with them?

I've measured myself by their instructions (above the breast tissue, relaxed shoulders) and got 35". Which is right in the middle of the medium. I wear a medium underworks right now and aside from the usual complaints with underworks, it fits. I also wear a small or medium shirt.

In the case of this site I would say it's just the few with problems are more vocal. I know if you go to tumblr for example, there's nothing but glowing reviews for them. If you feel comfortable with your measurements then I'd say go for it, because for the majority of people, they do seem to fit right.

GC2B binders are top notch. You just really have to make sure you get your measurements right. They fit really well and you often can't tell that they're there, and they make your chest impossibly flat. They're amazing.

Thanks guys, I hope it's all its cracked up to be. Do you have the long or short version?

I have the long version and love it, and I have a good friend who loves the short one.

I love my GC2B binder! I've tried underworks previously, and I've got to say GC2B is 1000 times better. I've never been flatter without it, and for a while, I even had to bind with a sports bra under my underworks binder to get semi flat.
Sizes are definitely true too as long as you've made sure you've measured properly. I will say though when you first get your GC2B binder it'll seem really small, too small almost. (I ordered a small and it looked like something the size for a nine year old compared to my body when I wasn't wearing it) But that's completely normal so don't be alarmed. It does take a little bit to get used to at first, especially if you're going from something that wasn't as effective as the GC2B, so its good to take baby steps with it. Maybe try wearing it for a couple hours max the first couple of days, and work your way up.
Definitely worth buying imo 

Get one a few sizes bigger than your bust size. The one I ordered was so tight that I couldn't get it over my head and have just returned it in the mail for two sizes larger. Those are going to get hot in the summer.

Do you mean you have to wear yours to stretch it out?

Nah man I mean I had to get used to it like any other binder.
If you mean like when you put it on your body, does it stretch out, then yes. They do. But I mean if someone had to purposely try to stretch it out to fit into it then odds are they got a size too small and they'd probably have to return it for a different size.

I emailed them and ended up with a medium full length and a large short one. I'd have probably just got the medium if I were living in the States, but it just seemed a little too risky with the international part.

Shipped today to be delivered to a friend, repackaged and passed on to my parents to bring to me. Hopefully without any questions. So still a couple weeks before I can get them, and a bit more before I can actually wear them. (Also this is the first time I'll see my parents since starting to live as a man.)

I have two gc2b binders, my only complaint is how high the neckline is because I can't wear a lot of loose tshirts, and I live in Florida and am struggling to find high enough necked sleeveless shirts to cover.

Advice though, size up! I measure 36, but have big shoulders, so I wear a Large. I used to be a D cup before I started wearing binders, and I was tempted to get a medium, but I am glad I didn't because I wouldn't have been able to put it on. Get the right size and you will have a perfectly flat chest, no worries.

Yea, I agree. The high neckline is such a bummer especially when you want to wear loose fitted shirts and tank tops. At first, it was a bit of a problem for me, but a majority of the time most people will think its an undershirt and also not think much of it so I personally got over worrying what people might think

How did you determine what size you should get? I reread the instructions on gc2b's site and still not sure what they mean by measuring "above where the breast tissue starts." Above as in over nipples? Or as in the same level as where your armpits start? Like right where your arm and body makes a crease.

I originally ordered a large and it was so tight I couldn't get it over my head so I ordered a 2x. My bust is 36, but Large was to small.

I measured according to the instructions and got between 35 and 36 depending on how I measured. I measured maybe about 2 inches down from my armpits, aiming for right before I got to what feels like compressible breast tissue. I then measured my shoulders at 41 inches and emailed for sizing help.

I ended up with a large short one and medium full length. I would say they both fit, but the medium is definitely better. I was nervous about the short as I am used to using the longer length to get me something to grab to get out of it. The large definitely made that part easier, because it's not as much of a squeeze to get in and out of. I'd say it compresses about as well as an underworks but was incredibly comfortable by comparison, a long day today of well over 12 hours and I felt no pressing need to get out of it. The medium makes me feel actually flat though. I haven't done a full day in it yet, but it was much easier to get in and out of than my underworks and looked so much better. It was very comfortable and I didn't feel like I would need to get used to it the way I did the underworks. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the product and hope it holds up well to wear.
