So for context, I'm a 16 year old guy (cis) with gynecomastia and this binder is truly life-changing! My school has a uniform but I would always wear the sweater because I didn't want my moobs to show if I only wore the polo shirt. Trust me, when I put this binder for the first time (kind of hard the first time but gets easier once you wear it more often) I was giggling like a little girl. I was shocked (!) at how 'normal' my chest looked and that I finally appeared to be an average guy. At every angle, it was flat! I didn't have to hunch my shoulder forward or do anything to flatten my chest out. I could just push my chest out and you wouldn't even be able to tell I had enlarged breast fat. For the first time, and I don't mean to be overly dramatic, I felt like I could be myself. I didn't have to hide a part of me anymore and could wear the polo shirt without being so conscious about the moobs. So, if you're like me and have gynecomastia I highly recommend buying this Tri-top Binder! Granted, I'm 5'5" and weigh 65 kilograms (143 lbs) with a 37" chest, so it may look different on you depending on the severity of your gynecomastia and chest / breast size.
Delivery:
- 5/5; from Canada and this arrived sooner than I anticipated (arrived the day after ordering). In fairness, I ordered this off the Canadian version of Walmart so that's probably why. But I wanted to comment on the official website hahah.
Comfort:
- 4/5; comfortable enough but I have to admit, not the comfiest thing I've worn (ordered a large, 37" chest). There are three layers on the front, which bind extremely well with one layer at the back, allowing for breathability and less tension on the back muscles. A problem I've come across would probably be the bottom hem rolling up, but that's easily fixable for me if I fold it. And the neck, which kind of scrunches up and doesn't entirely stay on the skin, but considering how great the binding is, I'm willing to ignore these minor inconveniences. To compare, I previously ordered the model 997 (medium) but it was extremely uncomfortable for me as it was hard to put on, made it hard to sit down because I could feel the pressure on my stomach, and the fabric would roll up and wrinkle when I did that which was what made me decide to purchase another binder lol. If I had ordered a large, it may have been a better experience, but I was eyeing the Tri-top Binder because I really only needed the binding on my chest and not other parts of my body.
Visibility:
- 4.5/5; so as I had mentioned earlier, I have a polo shirt as part of my school uniform, but I forgot to say that it's white. I ordered the black version of this binder, and you can barely see it under the white polo shirt! You can unfortunately see the outline of the binder but if I wear it loosely, it's really well hidden. If you wear darker clothing, even if it's tight-fitted (well, not too tight of course), it's not that detectable so unless someone is closely observing your clothes / body, most people would not notice.
And ye, that wraps up my review. I wrote this mainly directed towards a male audience suffering from gynecomastia, but I hope other individuals (trans, non-binary, women, whoever honestly) can take note of what is mentioned here to jump bullet and do whatever is right for you to make you feel better about your body. I definitely recommend buying the Tri-top Binder!
Thank you Underworks for creating this beautiful piece <3. Will definitely be coming back the next time I need a binder.
