Underworks USA Double Panel Utimate Chest Binder Tank - FTM, Trans Top - 997

I’ve tried many different brands of binders and this by far has always been my favorite. I’ve come back to it time and time again and have worn these daily for almost 20 years now. They last for years. In the 20 years I’ve worn this product. I’ve probably only had to order about seven or less and that’s just because I wear them every day and sweat a lot and I’m also a dancer so I go through them a little bit faster as well as wearing them swimming. I like that there are different colors to choose from. I have noticed the quality change over time some for the better some for the worst. Comes in discrete packaging if that’s important to you, and fast shipping if they have it in stock. I like that it comes down over my hips, which adds to a more squared off hip, giving him more masculine physique. Also serves as a stomach flattener, which is nice since I’m a little more on the chubby side. Very good compression quality. Comfortable and does not cut off mid drift creating additional love handles or pinching your fat.

I’m a trans guy who’s 6 foot tall and around 220 pounds (XL) and this binder has by far been my favorite I’ve ever got and I'm about to buy a second one. Every body is different, but it’s breathable, stretchy, and I have been able to safely sing and work out in it without it being unsafe for me or restricting my breathing (as much) which is a huge relief for the gym or for longer work hours. It doesn’t make me as flat as some of my binders as a trade-off, but it compresses things to look more pec- like. Passing isn’t everything, but it has helped me be out and about a little more than I was before and feel comfortable without feeling like I’m sacrificing health or parts of my life I enjoy while being a little safer in my state. The only downsides were that the texture completely caught me off guard at first. It was stiff and I had no idea how I was going to get it on my body.. but the results outweighed the texture nightmare it was for a bit. It also gets softer with washes so that has been helpful. Anyways, I’m not one to write reviews, but it’s been a few months and the fact that I’m about to buy a second one when it’s a little more expensive for me speaks volumes.

Gets me flatter than my binders from Fluxion. Which is hard, since I’m 5’6, 240ish lbs, and 44DD cups. Relatively comfortable. Ordered an XL. I’m typically an xl-xxl in regular shirts and a 6XL in most traditional binders. My only complaints are that it’s a little long and I have I tuck it into my pants, and that I struggle getting it off and on over my chest and shoulders. The length actually helps a bit there; as I’m able to sort of grapple it with my elbows and pull it over and off that way. But my actual binders are much easier to get off and on.

I am FTM, so I purchased this for binding purposes. Also, for reference purposes, I am a 38C 1/2. I ordered the extra large binder. This will also offer a comparison to GC2B binders. If that’s you jive and you’re buying this for that purpose, here’s what I can tell you: -If you have worn GC2B binders before (which I have), the material is not like their material. The material is a little more stiff, but softens over time. -This does work well for folks with larger chests. With the other brand mentioned, I found that it didn’t provide me with the flatness I wanted. Their material has more give to it, but this is a FULL binder. Meaning it will help flatten you stomach a bit as well, which makes me feel more comfortable compared to the other binder mentioned. -It’s long, so don’t worry about it riding up. It may for some folks, but it’s long enough for me that I can tuck it into my pants comfortably. -It will cut into your shoulders and armpits for a bit. If you wear binders, you already know that the struggle is real when it comes to binders in that area. I have nothing negative to say about this binder whatsoever aside from the fact that it’s a little loose or “baggy” (around the neck area and armpits) in places, but that’s typical with binders since each size fits every chest and person differently. Plus, you know the drill if you bind. It’s a process. I would definitely purchase another binder like this. I feel less dysphoric in this one compared to the GC2B brand. I was constantly adjusting.

[ Background info: I am a petite but fairly muscular person (5'3", 130lbs) with a larger-than-average bust (32 DD). I am trans-masculine and purchased this to use for daily binding ] Despite my rating, I want to be clear that this product is definitely better than a sports-bra in terms of general comfort and performance. If you're looking for a good first binder for the price or just something to get you a little flatter than a sports bra, this will do the trick. However, if you have larger breasts (I'd say a full C or larger) and you're looking for something to get you ace-bandage level flat, this alone probably won't get you there. I compiled some of my likes/dislikes to demonstrate some of the specific little details... Pros: - better than a sports bra for minimizing movement/jiggle - made with breathable materials so you won't get terribly sweaty if you're layering - isn't so tight that you can't breathe (once you get it on correctly) - gives the "buff" look; doesn't bind to completely flat, but can give the appearance of large pecs - promotes good posture; it's really hard to slouch while you're wearing this - not too expensive Cons: - nearly impossible to put on/take off without assistance for at least the first couple of wears - shorter people / people with shorter torsos will have a lot of extra fabric at the bottom - collar comes up a little high and seams are visible through light layers - fits somewhat awkwardly on an hourglass/curvy figure; pinches and bunches with a lot of movement - not an "extreme" amount of flattening (somewhere between a tight sports bra and an ace bandage) I'm giving this 3 stars because, though the product does work, it isn't very exceptional; It didn't provide me with the "extreme" "ultimate" "maximum... power" that I was expecting from the way it was advertised. This will definitely get you flatter than a sports bra, and if you wore it under a couple of layers you could appear to not have breasts, but his product definitely seems better suited for people with smaller breasts and/or traditionally masculine figures.

As you can see by the photos, the compression of this binder isn't perfect, but it's one of (if not) the best binders I've tried. It's especially good for large chests because the compression panel spans the entire torso. Most binders only have a half-length compression panel, and I've noticed myself having to push my chest back up into those every so often. I don't have to worry about falling out of the bottom of this. It also allows you to adjust the top of the binder so half of your chest isn't spilling out of the armpit area

Not what I ordered at all I dont know why its so hard for them to get it right but I have the same ones of these in gray. This feel like a wool sack. There is absolutely no give to it. The other ones I bought were more spandex.

I'm a large (overweight) FTM individual who is pre-top surgery and hands down Underworks has the best binders that work on me. I've tried a few other brands before that are meant for smaller people but just 'up-sized' to fit me, and they were basically just an undershirt, which any dude with excess breast tissue can tell you does not bind at all, just kind of lays over your chest. When you're someone walking around with DD sized chest AND a big waist, you go in knowing it's never going to be perfect. Nothing short of top surgery can do that. This won't turn you into a male model, but it will flatten your breasts down to match your belly, giving you a flat (and thus more masculine) chest. Now I can be a normal fat dude and actually leave the house. If you're a cis-guy with just 'some' breast tissue from being over weight, then this product would work even better for you. Smooths out the lumps and you probably have a lot less of a hurdle to overcome in the first place. Hey, if it's working for the transguy with the DD chest, it's probably going to be a godsend for you. Fits true to sizing. Measure yourself before you order. I listened to other reviews and I wear a thin undershirt beneath the binder to combat chafing. Never had any issues with roll-ups or sliding around, but I also don't wear the binder by itself so who knows? Only con I can think of is that the neck is a little wavy on the front, especially after extended use. Might look weird under low cut shirts.... but if you're wearing this you're probably not trying to draw attention to your chest with low cut shirts anyway (at least I'm not), so YMMV. All in all as a transman this product helped me overcome a significant portion of my dysphoria, enabling me to get out of the house more and stop stressing at work. Very glad I found it.

Excelente producto. La compresión es excelente. No tengo un busto exagerado, pero el que hay es incómodo a la hora de ocultarlo. Soy talla 38B, pedí una mediana para mayor compresión, pero fácil podría utilizar una grande y seguiría siendo cómoda. Necesitas bastante fuerza y elasticidad para poder colocarla, pero al menos a mi eso noeolesta. La camiseta me comprime lo exacto para no ser incómoda al utilizarla y eso es lo importante para mi . 10/10.

Works as it should. Lasts a few years of daily wear

Have bought a few of these over the years as they are comfy and good value for money. I have a size 50 chest and find an XL size is the perfect fit. The large is quite tight. Made from good quality material and hides and contours body.

Gives a very nice shape, in my opinion.

Bought for a family member. He finds the elasticity good as well as the fit. The top washes up well without piling. Make sure to hang dry.
