Hello!

Figured I would bring this question by you all here since stuff like this would be right up your alley. I'm completely out of my league when it comes to things like these lol.

My best friend recently realized how some of her feelings are actually gender dysphoria. She's beginning to figure out herself and all these odd feelings she's having. She doesn't care what labels people use, but is leaning towards non-binary as what she feels she is.

Essentially, she hates the way her chest feels sometimes and expressed interest in getting a binder. What are some good recommended brands for chest binders?

Also, I don't really have any idea of what features or whatnots to look out for when it comes to binders, so any guidance or tips would be much appreciated.

Hi! Transmasc enby here who has a little experience maybe.

The first binder I got was the Ultimate Chest Binder from Underworks (https://www.underworks.com/ultimate-chest-binder-tank), I liked them because I'm overweight and they also compressed my stomach a bit and my butt and hips to make me look less curvy. But recently shipping has gotten prohibitively expensive from America (I'm Aussie), so I had to switch.

My friend got me the long chest binder from Sock Drawer Hero (https://sockdrawerheroes.com/collections/binders/products/sdh-chest-binder-long), it's super comfortable and soft feeling material, it only binds the chest but it does an amazing job at it, I'm really happy with it personally.

Hope this helps!

    Those longer binders might be perfect for her! She's a bit on the heavier side too, so a long one would help her feel even better. She has a waist shape she occasionally wears, so a long binder wouldn't be too dramatic of a change.
