FLAVNT has been talking up their binder project for 1-2 years. The actual product dropped in October, and I haven't heard much about whether it has these magical binding abilities in addition to being quite comfortable and capable of being used as sensible swimwear for transmasc folks.

Anyone tried the product out? Have secondhand reviews? I'd love to get some perspective other than the company sanctioned stuff posted on FLAVNT's tumblr. It's a little pricey, so I'd like to have some reliable perspectives before taking the plunge.

I've bought a bareskin binder from GC2B and am very happy with it. GC2B make the best binders and have great reviews to back it up; plus they're slightly cheaper.

I've read multiple happy reviews about the bareskin binders. For one the colours are more inclusive, and the binder binds well and seems comfortable. There were still downsides - it makes a strange noise when you move (like the sound of an anorak when you move) and some people found the straps aggravating. The straps are a bit closer together and they're very narrow, much more so than GC2B. They're more expensive but from what I see they're very good and definitely comparable with gc2b and underworks. I'd say to give them a try, especially considering they're new and it's a trans-owned company.

I also haven't tried FLAVNT but personally love gc2b and since they're a little more affordable, will be sticking with those now that they released their skin tone line. Comparing the straps on my gc2b to the photos I've seen of FLAVNT, I worry that it won't be as comfortable to me. The straps seem..... very strange to me.
