XUJI Transgender FTM Breathable Cotton Elastic Band Colors Chest Binder Tank Top (M-6XL)

Brought for someone, and they love it

This is only the second binder I’ve ever used, it is a major upgrade to my first which was also a XUJI. The padding inside is very comfortable and the fit is snug, but I don’t feel like I’m being suffocated. I also love that it’s adjustable, great for if you need to unbind for a moment but don’t want to take everything off.I usually try to not bind for over five hours as it can be dangerous to go longer. With my past binder, I experienced a lot of chest pain even after an hour, but with this binder (which I ordered the same size) I’ve been feeling a lot less pain, almost none.My only complaint is that the wire hooks are very flexible. I had an instance where I leaned against something and the bottom hook shifted and dug into my skin, which was really uncomfortable and I couldn’t adjust since I didn’t want people to know I was binding. It could just be that mine was defective, but it’s something to keep in mind. I had it happen a second time and had to tuck a bit of my shirt under the clasp so it would stop digging into my skin, which isn’t ideal since that makes the binding uneven on your ribs. I think it would be better if maybe there was some sort of thin cloth divider that could go underneath and keep the prongs from touching your skin, or maybe something to go on top of the prongs to keep them from attaching to your shirt.But over all, I would recommend, especially if you bind for longer periods of time. The material is comfortable and if you get the right size it doesn’t feel like it’s suffocating you. I was also very impressed with how flat it made me look, since my other one didn’t make much of a difference. For reference I got a medium, I wear it on the loosest setting, and I’m pretty skinny. It flowed with my shape and looked super natural, I don’t think you’d be able to tell I was even wearing a binder, which is exactly what I was looking for!

High quality and comfortable, I love the different size options. Flattens very well and gives me a more masculine shape. Definitely will be buying more

If you are looking for a cheaper GC2B, this is not for you. It is quite a bit different than a GC2B binder.Pros:-does not hurt your back as much-very easy to put on and take off-flattens chest, would not recommend for people who have a larger chest though.Cons:-I have no idea of the legitimacy of this product in terms of the damage it might do to your ribs. I feel as though this is an ace bandage that is more even and less tight.-It is literally a piece of elastic with racerback straps attached to it- It might be a little short and you might get underboob spillage.- It rolls up towards the end of it- you need to order a size bigger or I am absolutely positive you are going to mess up your chances for top surgery.Other stuff you should know about this product:- It does not bind by putting pressure front and back, it binds from the sides-It is not too uncomfortable, however, there will always be a discomfort when it comes to binding.- It does not come in a tank style, which is not problematic for me, but it may be problematic for others.- DO NOT WEAR THIS FOR MORE THAN 8 HOURS!!!!!! No matter what purpose you are using for, that is NOT good for your ribs. This goes for any binder, not just this one.- Take a break from this at least once a week. If your chest is bigger make it 2-3 times a week. Again basic binding rules.- Do not put this in the dryer! it will warp and shrink, as does all elastic if you put it in the dryer, especially on high heat. If you really have to dry on low heat.Final Take:It does what it is supposed to do; however, I only bought this as a last-ditch effort because I forgot my binder at home and I am away from my home. I would still recommend getting a GC2B if you can afford it, underworks is a close second. For the non-trans people using this product not for drag purposes, Breh get a sports bra. Why go through the pain of binding? It's really not ideal at all. Working out with a binder can mess up your ribs too, THIS IS NOT A SPORTS BRA. I would not buy this product again, but the choice is yours ultimately and I can't control that.For the brand:Please make your vocabulary for the binder more trans-friendly, it will probably draw in wayyyy more trans customers (Take out the lesbian and tomboy vocab, that is lowkey transphobic). You have a ways to go, work on your product. Make it affordable AND SAFE. I doubt that this is safe. If it is safe through show me some statistics, please.Good luck to my fellow Trans Friends! I wish you the best on your journey! If you are a drag king, kill it at your performance! I will be there in spirit to tip you!

i buy only this brand for my son. he loves the comfort and it flattens his chest all the way for a more masculine look and feel. i love his confidence in these binders

I got it for my friend she said it was comfortable.

Not me, though. I bought this almost a year and a half ago and I haven't seen any improvement in its performance. For starters, my measurements are 88lbs with 12-inch shoulders and around a 28-inch bust. I'm very, very skinny and their smallest size, an S, doesn't fit me despite being made to be tight— if they sold binders in size XS, maybe I would've had more luck, but I think this is on the seller for not being inclusive of my body type. It is most loose around the lower half and is visible through my shirts because it doesn't come close to compressing anything. I actually have to wear a thermal shirt over it because it does a better job at binding me and hiding things than this does.It should also be taken into account that I have pectus excavatum, a deformity of my sternum bone where it sinks inward (and creates a rib flare). This binder is far too loose to accommodate this feature of my body and still leaves me with something that looks like a bust since it is too stiff to fill that "cavity" between my breasts. While I know I definitely have an atypical body and can't speak for everybody, I want to tell other people with pectus excavatum that this product is not ideal for you, especially if you're looking for a tight fit.I've stuck with this binder for so long because I didn't have better options— it did a little something and gave me a gentle hug around my bust, but nothing that was appropriate. Now, I just got some money for Christmas, so I'm going to search for options that better suit my needs.
