target is selling trans apparel for pride season - compression tops (which could be an option for people who bind) and packing underwear. they are made in collaboration with tomboyx. the compression tops are $25 and the packing underwear are $15, and both go up to 4X and the sizing claims to be gender inclusive - i have included the sizing guide as well. i am doubtful that these bind well for large chests but would probably be great for a smaller chested person, someone who wanted to try out binding, or someone who can't withstand tight binding. it also seems like right now they're not sold in stores, and i do not know if that will change, nor do i know if they will sell them after pride season is over.
edit: a lovely person mentioned in the tags that physical stores will have these items according to something they heard. thanks @nihilisticspacequeer !

a note: i just think people should know that this is potentially an option and this is just an information post, i am not a target fan but thought some folks might appreciate the knowledge. i think it's 100% valid & good to have complaints about tomboyx and target both and i do. also, this post is heavily edited, one might even say practically remade entirely (the original post was a screenshot of a tweet i saw, plus alt text and a few notes), as i felt bad about the discomfort that others felt (and i did too honestly) over the wording of the original tweet i posted here, and the fact that i just posted a screenshot of the tweet that informed me about this instead of my own words.
