#racerback

Hey folks! I just got my racerback binder from @gc2b and I haven’t seen many reviews about it cause it’s fairly new, and the ones I have found are for bigger people, but I’m quite small so here’s my experience with it!

[EDIT] I made this ages ago but Ive gotten a few notes lately so just clarifying — I know the quality of gc2b has gone down significantly and a lot of people have been harmed, while I never had an issue for binding with these I haven’t worn a binder in years so I can’t speak for their current product — I urge you to look for more recent reviews and listen to people who know the currently available binders better

First here’s the comparison to the regular half tank binder:

On the left is the racerback binder (new) and on the right is the half tank binder (about 1 year old). The pictures are facing front, facing down, and inside out. You can see on the third picture the compression panel of the racerback binder is about 2 inches longer than the half tank.

This is how the two binders look on:

On the left is the racerback binder and on the right is the half tank. The racerback is longer so it covers a bit of my stomach, and the compression panel covers up the armhole a bit better so nothing comes out of it (which happens a bit with the half tank). Also the straps are thinner and the neck hole is a bit deeper, which hides better under shirts.

Here’s what it looks like with shirts on:

Both pictures are me wearing the racerback binder. The first shirt is a tank top and you can’t really see the binder, it’s only visible from the sides. The second shirt is a regular T-shirt, and it still isn’t visible.

Overall I think this is a great binder, it was a lot more comfortable to put on than the half tank, and I didn’t feel as much that I had to break it in to start wearing it. The thing I liked the most was the neck hole being a bit deeper because it hides a lot better, even in tank tops.

For a small person, I definitely think it’s worth spending a couple more bucks to have a binder that is more comfortable, more hideable and well, it binds perfectly, my chest is basically gone with this. 💖

I’ll be happy to answer any question about the binder if you have any!
