Short vs Long vs Light BindersUpdated 2 months ago

Our highest compression options are our short and long chest binder. 

The binder light is our brand new garment, offering less compression but more freedom. For this reason, they are great for working out or longer wear. The binder light doesn’t have a cotton panel in the front but is made from our same super stretchy, breathable, water-wicking sports fabric and mesh. The binder has a racerback design and is available in Black, Forest and Skin Tones. The binder light costs £34.


The short binder is made from recycled ocean plastics through the coloured fabric. This is a high performance sports fabric. It also uses a super strong 100% cotton panel at the front to create a flat silhouette. The compression comes from the mesh at the back, so you are compressed from the back only which puts minimal pressure on the body whilst giving your soft chest tissue great compression. The short chest binder costs £40. 

 

The long binder offers the same compression as the short binder, with an additional panel of fabric at the bottom of the binder to give it a shape closer to a tank vest. Some customers find these more discreet. For example, If you find a shorter binder can have lots of room at the bottom between the binder and your body and you feel this can make it obvious under clothes, a long binder can be a great option. They also feature a silicon strip at the bottom to stop the binder from rolling up. The long binder costs £45.
