This soft binder is handmade in Los Angeles using our compression knit with antimicrobial and moisture management treatments. It was very carefully designed to have strong seams, clean finishes, and no rough areas or tags to scratch or irritate the skin. The two layers of fabric in the front work to compress and softly flatten the chest without making it hard to breathe.

LIGHTWEIGHT VERSION EXPLANATION:
We were having trouble getting enough fabric from our local supplier due to the pandemic, and we wanted to offer more colors, so we ordered some fabric from another supplier. In addition to the color coming out slightly different than expected, this fabric was also a bit lighter weight and stretchier than our primary fabric, more like the swim fabric we use for the Active Top and Tucking Bikini. Since this does affect the fit and feel of the binder, we have decided to label items made with this fabric as "Lightweight." These may feel looser, especially in larger sizes, due to the stretch, so we recommend sizing down to account for this if purchasing the lightweight version. The upside is that the lightweight binders are more swim and exercise-safe than our typical binders, though we don't recommend swimming in the white color, especially not in a chlorinated pool. The lighter-weight fabric will be more breathable, but is also thinner than our usual fabric. They are also a great option for post-op recovery from liposuction in this area, or for anyone who is looking for compression similar to that of the Active Top but with a lower neckline.

Fit

Please see our official size chart using the button above to confirm your sizing. There is also a chart based on bra sizes in the last photo, but this may not be as accurate as using your confirmed individual measurements.

The short length of these half binders is nice for keeping cool and comfortable without restricting the waist or rolling up near the bottom. While they are long enough to provide chest coverage for most people, every body is unique, so items in "like new" condition can be exchanged for longer styles if you find the Half Binder does not fit your particular body type!

We also offer zippered styles like the Half-Length Zip Binder and 3/4 Length Zip Compression Top for those who are looking for easier dressing and undressing, as well as a quick release from compression whenever needed!

FOR THOSE BETWEEN SIZES:
If you have broad shoulders/chest (so most of that measurement is ribcage, not breast tissue), or get claustrophobic/anxiety or back pain from binding, I'd recommend the larger size. If you have a small frame and larger cup size or very soft tissue, the smaller size will likely work much better! If you still aren't sure, go with the smaller one and we can exchange for a different size if needed. Free exchanges are available within the US but may be slow, and international exchanges are subject to shipping costs, so please pick carefully! For international customers, it may be a better idea to get the larger size and have it tailored locally if it is too large, because this often costs less and is quicker than shipping an exchange.

Our soft binders offer comfortable compression designed to prevent back pain, difficulty breathing, chafing, sensory issues, and binder-related anxiety in addition to using fabric treated with antimicrobial and wicking finishes. While they are still effective binders for most of our customers, keep in mind that those with dense chest tissue may find that with the extra stretch these may not flatten as much as other more rigid binders on the market that don't prioritize safety and comfort as much as we do. We do sell one style of rigid binder, originally intended for low impact swimming, and are working on a new style to offer the best of both worlds. For more information on binding, click here!

its great but took a long time to get there

i bought this binder as a gift for my boyfriend and he really likes it! he's a 3x and has larger breast but it flattened them pretty well but not as flat as he expected. and this isn't much of a complaint since I understand shipping isn't something they control but just a warning it came in awhile after I ordered it so don't be worried if it doesn't come in quickly

Perfect!

the binder is comfy and easy to move in, and shipping was exactly on time. only complaint is that it does ride up, but thats very common in half binders and not the comapanys fault. if youre looking for a gc2b replacement and willing to a little more, this is it

Very good binder, rides up slightly as is common with hals tanks but I'm happy with the compression.

Amazing! Exactly what I was looking for. Shockingly comfortable, and doesn't press on my lower (floating) ribs, so doesn't make me claustrophobic at all. I did hear a seam pop when I put it on, but i was also very excited and just pulled it on roughly, so that's most likely my fault
