Binders and Chest Compression Gear

Shop our selection of chest binders and compression gear for a flatter-appearing chest or for additional support at the gym, playing sports and swimming. We’re proud to offer compression gear solutions for a wide range of body types and needs.

Chest Binders

Best for Everyday Wear

Cotton binders are typically your best chest binder for everyday wear, offering full compression while remaining soft and breathable. These binders are great for daily binding, working longer shifts, or living in warmer climates.

Maximum Compression

If you’re looking for greater compression, you’ll trade a bit of the breathability of cotton binders for a flatter look (many use a combination of spandex and nylon). In exchange for greater compression, you might feel a little warmer in a maximum compression binder (and it might feel a little bulkier under your top).

Different Cuts and Lengths

While every binder works to compress your chest for a flatter profile, we have a variety of styles to offer more flexibility with your wardrobe. We have binders designed to give you full freedom of arm movement as well as shorter cuts that can fit under your favorite crop top.

Binding Tape and Accessories

We know a binder won’t always cut it, especially if you’re looking to go for a swim or wear a top with an open back or a deep v-neck. It’s why we have a variety of binding tape options for short-term compression. 

With multiple widths and skin tones of binding tape, you can create your own binding solution when you need variable compression that a binder can’t pull off. When it’s time to take your tape off, be sure you’ve got a skin-safe oil like jojoba oil to break down the adhesive and peel the tape off without damaging your skin.
