Econo High Power Compression Chest Binder Top

I have tried multiple kinds of binders, from multiple companies, and this one from Underworks is by far my favorite. I am a non-binary Cosplayer that frequently does cosplays of and covers for different k-pop groups, so I do a lot of dancing, jumping, and other strenuous activity while binding. Here is my comparison of Underworks VS the other guys.

Underworks
-breathable mesh backing
-comfortable and soft front fabric
-no weird seams
-even distribution of weight and compression across the chest and shoulders
-Only uncomfortable area is the side seams but it's not that bad.
-MACHINE WASHABLE!!!!!!!

The Other Guys
-Crappy and non-breathable material
-The front material (Canvas) is abrasive and stiff (People have literally rubbed their nipples off wearing these binders)
-Uncomfortable shoulder seams x2, uncomfortable side seams where the canvas suddenly ends, one weird back seam that causes a quad-pectoral effect (Which doesn't look good), excessive under arm pudgyness.
-Uneven compression and weight distribution (All of it is on the top of the shoulders and the ribs)
-Unbearably hot and hard to breathe in (Even when doing breathing exercises)
-Bad rolling of the binder
-Under the chest gapping which can cause wardrobe malfunctions
-EXPENSIVE compared to the quality and comfort of materials
-The seams pop easily and the general construction is bad
-Hand wash and line dry ONLY
-The mission is good, but honestly kind of gatekeeping as they (from what I have seen) Only market to FTM Trans peeps, and not non-binary pals.
-These binders are so tight they have caused rib damage due to the uneven weight and compression

So, if you are looking for a binder for cosplay, work, walking the dog, swimming, etc. Underworks is the way to go.

Hands down the absolute best binders. I can't say enough about how amazing this product is and how it can really change your life. I am so much more confident. God bless these people.

it flattens me pretty well for someone with C/D cups, but I'm  not flat enough to my liking. maybe that's because I got the wrong size? though I'm not sure if this binder is too small or too big. it just looks like I have a small uniboob. which I guess is okay if people don't look at your tits much. as well as comfort goes, its not tight but it definitely isn't the most comfortable either. it feels like you got a size 32 bra when you Know you're a size 36. its not hard to breathe in, but you Definitely don't wanna workout OR have a panic attack in this. Overall I think its pretty good in its binding abilities given my chest size. its also p easy to wear lol. i ordered it on the 22nd and got it on the 28th. and that's with international delivery

But you really shouldn't take my word for this. This is my first binder ~ever~ so I don't really have a lot of experience w this. i think its supposed to stretch out after a while, so fingers crossed bc this isn't the comfiest.

The first real binder I got was a white tank top from Underworks in 2016, I felt gender euphoria- and still do- every time I wear these. My chest is a major source of dysphoria for me, so it feels very relieving to be able to look down and see a mostly flat chest when I had a hard time getting ace bandages to to the trick- and then they would sometimes randomly decide to Pop on you!! Just don’t do it, it’s not good for you to bind with bandages. Use a real binder made for Safe Chest Compression, like this one.

The back of the binder does get a bit, like, stretched over time- as it’s a thinner, more breathable material- compared to the layered compressing piece in the front. It’s never been enough of an issue, in 5-ish years of constant near daily usage, for me to need to throw any away and panic buy another, which has happened before! The bottom hem does roll up a little with the half length binders (I ended up snipping the length off the full tank top binders years ago) but the rolling isn’t majorly noticeable.

I guess, all in all, I’m a very satisfied customer and I look back on my younger self binding with eBay Tomboy binders and ace bandages and everything else... like, son get it together, $33 dollars is as cheap as I’ve seen a good binder yet, and it’s very well worth it for a binder that will last.

The binder is awesome. it binds well, even though I'm quite big and noting can reakky flatten my chest (try flattening a size E XD). I got an XL one, and it sits comfortably and even a bit loosely and still is binding just like my older binder that I wore for the past 2 years (that old binder was sawn for my measurements and was the only binder I had before getting this one). what really got me amazed was the fast shipping. I live in a very rural area in west asia and the package was delivered to mey doorstep, a thing that never happened with any delivery I did, even from local venders. all in all, great stuff, I will get a size medium one soon.

this was my first binder and i am happy with it .!! my waist goes in, and this left no gaps under my chest! it is a little uncomfortable, but nothing too bad .

I've been using the Econo binder for a couple years now and have no complaints! It has lasted well, the old one was stretched out only around 1cm/0,4 inches compared to the brand new one. So there isn't much of a difference. My chest is 90cm/35,5 inches and M is good for me. Binds nicely but have 0% discomfort or pain, can breathe normally and easily wear it all day. The fabric doesn't dig into my skin or feel scratchy either. I love the neckline being low and the straps narrow, doesn't show up under shirts much at all. If I had to nitpick, the only negative would be the top and bottom seams starting to roll after a while but I don't really mind.

Very comfortable, affordable binder. Satisfied with the binding ability (I don't have a large chest tho). Been using this model for a long time. I like how the neckline is very wide, most of the time can't see the straps under shirts that have a wider neckline. If I had to find the only negative thing it's the neck and bottom seams rolling. But that's so minor compared to all the positives.

True to size chart, though I exchanged for one larger since I’m kinda in between and I have to work in it.
Satisfied with the binding and very comfortable but front neck seam rolls a bit.
Personally think it binds way better than gc2b for bigger chest and straps don’t show as much

This is my first real binder and have never felt more gender euphoria. It's comfy and cool, but would recommend sizing down if you have breasts that are saggier. The package was discreet and so was the charge in my bank account. Great for those of us who arent out to our moms who have access to our purchase history 😅

I just received my nude and white XL Econo Top Binders. I also own a G2CB binder. The Econo binder is great! It was easier to get on than my other binder. It fe3ls like something I can wear under tank tops this summer without feeling short of breath. I have asthma, so that's a thing.

Fit wise, it covers side-boob and cleavage very well. It comes down just below my ribs. My bra size is a 42E, so this was a real concern. It feels just about as snug as a G2CB, with a tad more give for movement. The bottom rolls a little, but it doesn't impair how my clothes look on me nor mt comfort.

I just ordered 2 black versions of this binder. I'm curious how this econo binder differs from the slightly more expensive version of this. I feel like this is a great quality binder that is affordable for many. My dysphoria is worse in the summer (less clothing, tighter fit). I already feel really good wearing this!

gc2b is more comfortable
underworks is better at compressing
underworks is harder to get on and off
underworks binder is easier to hide because the shoulder straps are not as close to the neck compared to the gc2b binder and i can finally wear t-shirts
i would say gc2b is good for swimming and exercise , but underworks is better for normal life stuff if that makes sense

I ordered this on the 2nd of January and received it on the 6th, I’m definitely satisfied with the shipping!
Packaging is discreet, there is nothing that would lead anyone to believe it’s a chest binder.
I purchased this because i was getting unsatisfied with GC2B’s binders, and how quick they stretched out. However I was told that Underworks’ binders lasted longer and binded better, so i definitely wanted to give it a shot.
I ordered a S, since I’m precisely in between XS and S and I wanted to make sure I fit into it! But looking back I might’ve ordered an XS instead, as since I’m not as flat as I wish I was.
Comfort wise, no more or less than a GC2B binder, however I REALLY, REALLY enjoy the wide neck opening(?), what I hate most is when my binder straps show!
Overall I am satisfied with it, I just would’ve ordered it in a different size.

I'm a 34D and I got a medium, its perfect! Despite the other reviews mine isn’t scratchy at all and is pretty soft on the inside.

This was my first proper binder (having used sports bras and homemade styles previously) and overall I am very happy with the product for the price. While the back is a bit of scratchy mesh the inside at the front is a nice flannel-like material. Obviously it might not be as comfortable as a more expensive binder, but I find it comfortable enough to wear for the day without chaffing, red marks on the skin etc.

I went for an XS and normally would wear a 32B. I think if I were to order again I would have gone for a small to make it easier to get on and off. I've only had this for a couple of weeks so I cannot comment on how well it lasts but for now it's holding shape and gets me pretty much flat. Definitely a good, cheap first binder.

I ordered three of these on Friday the 8th, paid for the 7-14 day delivery, and they arrived this morning! (11th Feb). I was kept updated on the delivery status every day, and I couldn't be happier. I got the 2XL and they're super comfy, really easy to get on and I'm quite happy with the results. They're not as tight as my previous ones, which were full-length tanks, but that's fantastic as I work long hours, and they won't be as restrictive. I might have to adjust a little more often, but I'm fine with that. I can't recommend these enough. They're great value for money either as a first binder or for an old hand like myself.

Absolutely love this binder. It makes me feel incredibly comfortable. I have a b cup and the binding effect is great, my chest is hardly noticeable. Very comfortable and does not restrict breathing at all. strongly recommend this binder!

Overall, this is a really nice binder, especially for the price. It's fairly light and if I wear it the right way, I can wear it all day without their being an issue. The cotton panel on the inside is a plus. This is my first Underworks binder, and I wear it almost daily.

However, I do have some issues with it: first, it bunches up at the bottom and digs into my ribs, which leads to aching pretty early on. I have been able to prevent this by flipping the edge up about a half an inch, but I wish it didn't do it at all. Second, as another reviewer pointed out, it has weird scratchy/poky bits on the seams and under the arms. However mine has softened up a good deal. Lastly, the cotton pulls the binding fabric back, creating a weird bump at the top, which can be seen, and also rubs more scratchy bits on my skin.

Despite all this, I believe that this is a great binder, and good for everyday use.

Very affordable considering how good the product is.  I'm a 34DD and it gets me almost completely flat.  Was a little tricky to get on at first, but that was more user error.  Once on it was extremely comfortable and not too tight.  Also arrived very quickly.  10/10 will be my go-to binder

its grand for a first binder, not too uncomfortable. I'm a 32d and it doesn't make me completely flat but I look grand wearing a baggy hoodie. very good price compared to other binders

The material is stretchy and hard at the same time, non too difficult to put on, very light and perfect for when is hot. The only thing that bothers me is that on the edges the material is very "sharp" and hard and cut easily into the skin if you don't put something to cover it, but beside that is amazing! Perfect compression, breathing is easy, and if you are a size in the middle I recommend taking the smaller one, I size 33/34 and I took an S.

My binders came in today as ordered and I immediately went to try this one on first. it works very well (I have a 38DD chest) and feels amazing. I'm not completely flat but with both a tank top and a t-shirt over it, you can hardly notice my chest. Thank you so much!
