gc2b FTM Chest Binder Tank (XS, Gray)

Note: I didn't buy one of these from Amazon, but I certainly wouldn't complain if I could! That said, I wear the Medium size, which isn't available.TL;DR: If you ask me, there simply isn't a better vest on the market for IS guys, trans guys, non-binary folk, or even cosplayers. I'd hazard, in fact, that there probably isn't a better one for *anyone.* The folks who designed this put a ton of thought into it, and the result is a stellar product. Effective, comfortable, reasonably washable, and did I mention effective? Mine is trapeze- and ballet-proof. It doesn't get better than this.10/10, highly recommended.####Full Review####I'm an intersex guy with significant gynecomastia, a dancer (ballet and modern), and aerialist.I'd been looking for a really good, breathable, flexible vest for use in the studio, and while I'd had quite good results with some others (particularly UnderWorks' Tri-Top half-length model), this one is simply the cream of the crop.**First, gc2b's binder tank works really, really well.**I spend most of every week in skin-tight clothes: compression tanks, unitards, etc. In gc2b's vest. Nothing shows, period. I do trapeze in this thing. Nothing moves, not even renverses, tours en l'air, demi-mills, or catcher's hangs.I also wear this when teaching dance, which often involves getting very "up close and personal," and nobody notices anything.**Second, gc2b's binder tank is light, cool, and wicks sweat like crazy, which is a huge improvement.**UnderWorks' Tri-Top was acceptable in this capacity, but nowhere near as good as gc2b's binders. When it's 80F in the studio and you're killing yourself doing grand allegro, variations, or conditioning, this makes a huge difference. I'm looking forward to seeing how it feels while rocking up a climb on the bike when it's 95F at 78% humidity.Moreover, as a function of the same quality, gc2b's vest dries fast, (after washing and after sweating your brains out; presumably also after swimming, but I haven't tried that yet) which is nice.**Third, gc2b's binder tank is actually pretty comfortable.**This, of course, is a point on which mileage may vary considerably. I'm slim (chest: 90cm/~35.5") but relatively broad-shouldered (50cm/19.5") with well-developed upper lats and serrati anterior, which can result in underarm discomfort in many binders. gc2b's binder tank manages to avoid this (even during trapeze work or choreography with a lot of port de bras).The back and outer panels are stretchy wicking fabric with a soft, silky hand; a double layer at the back strengthens the compression. The inside front chest panel offers firm resistance and has a rough (but not scratchy) texture, which helps keeps things where you put them.**Lastly, this thing is pretty easy to wash.**I run mine through our washing machine, which lacks a proper delicate/gentle cycle, in cold water on its least vigorous and shortest cycle. Usually, it air dries overnight, though if I'm behind on laundry and need it within an hour or two, I'll run it through the dryer on the Delicate setting. So far, it's holding up to this treatment just fine, considering that I wear it almost every day (I have two, but the second one is a large and I don't like the fit as well, so I use it maybe twice a month).I've had my gc2b binder since January and it's still going strong. Considering the amount of abuse it takes, I suspect that says good things about its durability.I'm attaching a couple of photos in case you're curious about how this looks under the kind of stuff I wear in the studio. In short, I can't recommend it highly enough, and I'm preparing to order a couple more (like, right now).

I love this binder, it does a perfect job at, well, binding. I feel less dysphoric and it's comfortable! Sometimes i wear it as a regular tank top. I was so satisfied with my gray one that I also bought one in black. Best kind of binder you can get, definitely worth every penny!!

I'm sure under a shirt it looks okay but I would not wear this shirt out alone like a few other binders I have gotten. Wish it looked like a shirt I would wear out in itself.

I got a size medium and I am a 34GG and it flattens me out so much.This has changed everything for me. It's sturdy, breathable, the fabric feels nice, you don't sweat excessively in it (granted I wear it while working as an unloader for walmart so I'm gonna sweat no matter what). I have already told so many people about this! I have included before and after pictures
