I’ve tried a bunch of binders over the years, and my current favorite is a gc2b tank binder, but it’s a little clammy in hot weather. I’ve mostly been getting by with cotton sports bras at a band size two inches smaller than my actual size, with a square-cut, loose overshirt to disguise the lumpiness. That’s good enough for a quick trip to the store, but I think have an excuse to buy a new one. (Never mind the… uh… several others in my closet, lol). Any recommendations?

    aw I feel ya buddy. (the tomboyx one has branding along the band and a printed-on label so it’s not the one you have!) yeah, shelves…i feel u. what i liked about the tomboyx one is that, at least for my build and tissue density, it provided support while keeping shit out of the way. it wasn’t shelfy but also my tissue was more of a ‘two heavily divorced households’ situation rather than a ‘friends who meet in the middle all the time’ one hahaha.

    is top surgery something you’re planning on having? :0

      Thanks. <3 Yes, surgery is definitely in my future, it’s just not easy to make it work logistically and financially. I should look into the TomboyX options again. “Two heavily divorced households” sounds like about what I’m looking for, though, sadly, “two estranged sovereign nations” is probably more accurate.
