Underworks
4.6
(43)
"I really like my underworks binder :)"
"Underworks is great for me and I’m about an A/B cup, highly recommend"
"Now I wear the Underworks 997 binder. It's a full tank binder and is fully out of a stretchy material that still binds very well!"
"I have an above average chest, and i’ve found that underworks is by far the best. it flattens the best but it doesn’t actually feel as tight as gc2b."
"As someone who had a larger chest, this is the best binder i’ve ever had. most binders only compress your top, which makes a fairly conspicuous bump for bigger chests. this binder has"
"Underworks. I’ve used them for years. I used them when I was 280 Ib and they still did the jump great."
"Underworks is the best also gender grip is good too"
"Underworks!"
"Seconded. Underworks is the way to go"
"Underworks 100%"

"Gc2b binders are the best I know."
"Underworks binders didnt last me as long as gc2b. i love gc2b."

"I used GC2B for a while, the quality was good and mostly got it because I heard that it’s good for safe binding reasons."
"They've got a diverse size range and their binders are pretty comfy - good for sensory issues."
"I really like my GC2B binder."

Spectrum Outfitters
4.6
(14)
"Will definitely support Spectrum as a suggestion, very comfy and have a good range of styles."
"I’ve had great success with binders from spectrum outfitters, their binders have a stiff fabric in the front that’s good at sculpting with less pressure."
"Spectrum for binders and rolls of the extra wide trans tape. They can be worn together"
"I like spectrum outfitters for their full length ones, especially since they're U.K. based so I don't have the shipping of gc2b."
"After wearing my gc2b one for a long ass time, Ive gotten one from spectrum outfitters about 4 months ago. Im pretty happy with it."
"The binder from spectrum outfitters gives me an almost flat chest"
"I’d highly recommend spectrum outfitters."
"I got a Spectrum Outfitters one recently and its amazing."
"Spectrum Outfitters binders are really good."
"I heard Spectrum Outfitters has good binders, but they're more on the pricy side."

Spectrum

(15)
"Spectrum all the way!! It works amazingly"
"I tried both Spectrum and Underworks and Spectrum was the better one for me."
"I wear spectrum and love it."
"For me, Spectrum is the most comfortable and flattening."
"Spectrum: works the best at binding. Stretches out quickly but still works the best."

"I know Spectrum is another company with a good reputation."
"Spectrum!!"
"I found spectrum to be the best at binding while not being too painful."
"Spectrum is a UK brand that's highly recommended on this sub."

TMart
4.3
(7)
"The Tmart comfort band binders. The company says they were inspired by athletic wear when they were picking out the fabric and it really does make it more comfortable and cool."
"TMart. Worked the best at binding. Didn’t stretch out as quickly as everything else I’d tried. Most comfortable by far as well."
"TMart was the best. I’ll go over all the ones I’ve tried, roughly in order of how flat they made me - TMart. Worked the best at binding."
"Thank you so much! I'll definitely try out TMart, my current binder is Spectrum, but I've had it for a while and it just doesn't do the job."
"TMart was the best. I’ll go over all the ones I’ve tried, roughly in order of how flat they made me - TMart. Worked the best at binding."

Binder

#9
TomboyX
4.0
(4)
"I use Tomboyx compression tops."
"I like the tomboyx compression tops a lot. They’re not traditional binders—they don’t really go for completely flat—but they flatten enough that I feel comfortable without restricting breathing or being too tight."
"Try tomboyx"
"I got mine from tomboyx and they are not as restricting as a binder."
