How do I get the right measurements?

Boxers

To find the right fit for you, you'll need your waist and hip measurements. The waist measurement is taken all the way around the top of your hipbone (circumference).  To find your hip size, you'll need to measure around fullest part of your hip, usually at the fullest part of your buttocks (circumference).

To get the most accurate measurement, we suggest taking these measurements while wearing tight-fitting clothes or without any clothing. Measurements taken over layers of loose clothing may be inaccurate.

Binders

Getting the right measurements is essential to getting the right size of binder for you. If you're getting our sports binder or long binder, you'll need your chest  and shoulder measurements.

You can get your bust measurement by measuring under your armpits over the fullest part of your chest (circumference). The shoulder measurement can be taken from one end of the shoulder (where your shoulder meets your arm) to the other.

To get the most accurate measurements, we recommend wearing close-fitting or no clothing. Taking your measurements over layers of clothing may lead to inaccurate results.

Which binder is best for me?

Chest binders are meant to be tight, like a second skin. You should be able to breathe and move easily without the binder causing any unnecessary discomfort. That being said, we have a wide range of binders to accommodate different needs, preferences, and body types.

If you have a larger chest, we recommend choosing a long binder rather than a sports binder because the extra fabric allows for more compression and gives your chest more room.

If you are between sizes, or have broader shoulders, we recommend choosing the larger size.

Ultimately, the right type of binder depends on your preferences and your lifestyle. Binding safely means choosing the right size. Please do not deliberately choose a smaller size. Getting the binder on will be difficult, and binding too tightly can lead to injury and other health concerns.
