Week One Update/Late Intro/Coming Out to Parents
at first i preferred gc2b, but after how quick all 3 of my binders from them have worn down ive started leaning towards my underworks binder. its lasted sm longer, and in general looks better on me
That's realy a big scars.
I just ordered a underworks coz I live in the up and I’m on a bugit saving up for a pc atm so I couldn’t pay the shipping for gc2b but underworks is a lot better then me bying a corset binder
Middle one looks the best on the profile.
i don't know if the comments section is still active here but i'm desperate for advice. i got my first binder from bc2b (my aunt did actually i'd rather go live on the street than send a binder to my house). i thought i needed an M but the sizing was confusing so i even asked them sent an email and got that confirmed, it arrived super quick and looked small enough to actually bind. had exTREME trouble putting it on at her house first, i was sweaty i was scared so i just ended up putting it on over my sports bra and it DID bind. i got this fatty lump kind of in the middle. i was readjusting for super long trying to get everything to the sides but it didn't make much difference. within just a month it stretched out so much it barely did anything anymore and i had to pull it in on one side to get some of the bind back. kinda helped, the lump disappeared for a while but now it's getting stretched out again after just another month and i have that swole muscle daddy look on a 5'2" body and idk what to do. the size was good for sure. thought les love boat is the next brand with high quality binders but after hearing the price of that i think i'll just keep pulling this one in and hoping for the best
I guess this is a little late, but FYI (in case you end up getting another binder, or even if it isn't too late with this one) binders are not meant to be worn with a sports bra. :/
@@camchop04 bruh i said i wore it over one THERE THAT ONE TIME becAuse i was sweaty and i couldnt pull it over
Sorry, I don't know much about binders but since no one else commented it's just a guess that the bra could have stretched it out or reshaped it weirdly or something. Wish I could be more helpful :/ How bad is the binder right now/Do you still have monoboob? (wow isn't that a fun word amiright)
@@camchop04 couldn't have stretched it out from one wearing. it stretched out after like a month of wearing on its own. now it's more the case of "buff but way too high" bc my chest won't bind downwards but then it's also weak already and unless i readjust with my hands on my tits on the street everything just sinks down and looks like im just wearing a sports bra
Have you sent pictures to/contacted GC2B? I know that their customer support is very helpful and they are willing to answer any questions you have, plus they are the real experts, not just a freak like me on the internet lol.
My body shape is kinda like you, on 5'6'' and 170 lbs. How's your recovery now?
Not sure if you know.. any comparasion with Dr. Garromone at FL & Dr. Medalie at OH? THX.
Really helpful, thanks! Was considering a Les Love boat one as the neckline appears a little lower. But I think I'll just buy another GC2B.
in fact b is the max you can get periareolar. Keyhole is for A cup.
This is a great video. Congrats :)
within a couple months my GC2b binders fell apart and those with C or up cups, will probably fall out of the binding portion of them - it was great the first time I put it on
+Nik Xavier I'm sorry to hear that! :( Unfortunately there's no perfect binder for everyone. I definitely encourage you to try a few out and find what works for you! Try to find guys who have a similar body type and see what they recommend. Best of luck!
Great job making this video. :D
+Jordan Harnden Thanks for watching! :D
Awesome video Jordan!
+CallMeKai Thank you!!
hello luckpandacub I'm MtF sorta bigender, I have an issue because I want to keep my perky breasts and so I am afraid of binding for that reason I know some one that uses lesLoveBoat Binders and they never got permanently flatten breast tissue or elasticity loss or anything... And what's interesting in your video is that you say that lesloveboat sorta holds as opposed to compress... So my questions are So do you think that any manner of what you consider compressing is what permanently flattens the breast as opposed to holding?? Also would you say that Gc2B holds or compresses? Next it'd be really helpful to know your band size compared to your chest size(meaning with breast tissue) so I could know how much compression you're actually talking about as opposed to *holding*... Next Did your breast tissue get permanently flattened or lose elasticity at all? with any of these 3 binders? Last Question, Do you have any recommendations for my concern at all? Thank you very much for your time and answers X3 Edit: I just remembered that it'll also be good to know your measurements to compare the permaflattening/elasticityLoss threshold My band is 84cm and my chest size is 94 cm meaning that I have about a 10cm difference for my breasts, Meaning that I'm bra size 38A As an example
+The Androgynous Knight Hey there! :) I want to state up front that I'm not a medical expert, but my experience tells me that eventually consistent, long-term binding will help break down breast tissue. All binders reviewed are designed to compress rather than support. Prior to surgery and T, I was somewhere around an A/B. After binding and 5 months, my size was reduced. If you're concerned about losing breast size, I wouldn't recommend that you bind using any of these (particularly underworks). Les Love Boat, if any, may offer what you need but honestly I'd recommend going with a sports bra or two if your goal is to flatten out. If you're looking for something to use intermittently, I don't see why binders would be a problem but if it is consistent and long term, I'd be cautious. Does that help?
+luckypandacub Thank you so much for your detail answer!!! <3 X3 I'm not sure if double sport bras are good enough but I may not have done enough experiments yet... I could bind intermittently if it were just to live my guy mode in peace every now and then but I kinda want it so I can work in guy mode and stuff I guess just because I'm scared of coming out as trans... Especially to employers I already know :c I'd be working part time for like 6 hours 5 times a week... Maybe... would that be to much? Ah also lesloveboat is the least extreme? That's good to know X3 <3 Is gc2b really that much more harder and/or compressing than lesloveboat? I'm sorry for the very big questions but I'm very happy with answers from atleast an experienced person! thank you so much! There isn't so much information on this online and well I'm asking more than one person too X3
+luckypandacub Also! Congratulations on your surgery and rest of your transition!!!!
Thank you! :) I'm happy to help however I can. I think that the lesloveboat is the most comfortable material wise, and depending on your body type, you may not like having to wear a binder you pull over your head. GC2B was definitely my favorite every day wear though. After this video was made, I found myself almost excessively wearing that one. Honestly, it really depends on the person but I don't see either of those going wrong for most providing you get the correct size. The GC2B definitely gave me the best natural look, but was a bit more compressing and harder to wear for long periods of time (10+ hours, when you shouldn't be binding that long anyways). Hopefully that helps!
Looking good dude. Sucks you had such a awful experience to start with, could you report them?
+Katistic1 Thanks! Most importantly, feeling good too! :) To be honest, it's not particularly worth it to me to go through the hassle as I've moved out of state. Mostly, I just hope to inform others about what to look for in a doctor and what to avoid. Hopefully, others will have better experiences and the number of trans-friendly doctors will continue to increase!
super helpful ! thanks !
Who was your top surgeon
Tod Loke Dr. Medalie in Cleveland OH!
I'm going to Medalie too like next year! I've also heard, for anyone who needs it, that sleeping on your back is easier when you put pillows über your knees
I think I'm going to Medalie within the next 6-8 months! Looking great!
Marlow Alexander He's worth it! Thanks for the kind words.
Congrats on your 4 months!
Marlow Alexander Thank you so much! :)
Thanks for this!
H,i so I haven't gotten my first binder yet. What I have been using which works horribly, is like 2 extremely compressing sports bras together that are too small, and I'll sleep with one on so I'm no stranger to not breathing well. But what I'm asking is, because I'm tired of this pain, is the Gc2b one going to be good to start with?
So how hard is it to take off the gc2b binder? I've heard it's kinda hard. Any ideas?
It's one you'll need to pull your over your head. Up the hips probably won't work to well. I just cross my arms and wiggle lol. Honestly, they break in after a bit. Make sure you get the right size, and you'll get used to it pretty quickly!
Thank you so much for the awesome review! I've been debating between underworks and gc2b and this finally settled it. GC2B it is!
Whoot! I hope you love it as much as I love mine!
Thank you so much for this review. I've been using an Underworks tri top for the past 9 months and I really can't take the discomfort anymore... It really sets off the pain caused by my scoliosis. I've heard awesome things about the GC2B binders and this video basically sold me. I'm tired of the chest bumps above where my pecs should be. Thanks again!
That's awesome! I really hope you like it! Best of luck with you new binder! :)
luckypandacub Love this review! Guess what? We wanted to tell you that we've heard your feedback about les Love boat products. We are the official manufacturer/designer of DOUBEL DESIGN binders. The one you have reviewed. We are happy to let you know that we finally open our online shop here in US. Check out our full selections here: myDoubleDesign.com and some sample selections at Amazon: www.amazon.com/shops/mydoubledesign Love to answer any questions.
which of those binders gives you the widest coverage (as in armpit - armpit how much is covered) and do you end up with bad lumps next to your armpits at the front? thanks in advance!
All the time! The GC2B manages them the best and gives the best coverage overall. The only thing is that it comes a touch higher in the neck than the other two IMO, so v-necks are mostly out unless they come up really high.
I love how you said the thing about not being 100% male. Gender is fluid! And nobody has to approve of anything, you and only you need to be comfortable with yourself, But I can see that you are so that's good. Keep up the good work!
I completely agree. Stepping out into the world being comfortable in who you are without fear of other's opinions is most of the battle!
ur supposed to step into the underworks binder and pull it up. bc i have hips i have to pull a lil there but bc its made of great material its not really a problem. as for taking it off, just roll it off over ur head :)
Thanks for this great review!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)
What size are you in gc2b?
I wear a medium currently, though I think I should probably invest in a large here soon!
How long can you wear binders? its my first time getting one from g2cb
I have worn them for 14 hours before. Definitely don't recommend that though. Make sure you start out slow, a few hours a day for your own safety. Definitely check out GC2B! They're great!
+Woo, to an extent it is somewhat impossible to avoid that while still retaining the ability to breathe. However, it does compress more than the Underworks and gives a more sculpted appearance. And I think that the GC2B is slightly lower but it may be closer on the shoulders. I am able to wear a shallow V-neck style shirt with it that I may have struggled a bit with previously. Is that helpful?
Hey, thanks for the review :). I have a question though. My underworks binder binds well but leaves the chest feeling soft and squishy below the nipple, where as anywhere above the nipple it feels solid like muscle. Does the GC2B do that too? Because I want my chest to be bind evenly. Also, could you tell me which binder has a lower/winder neckline? ( Underworks or GC2B ) Thanks :)
@Abby Bowles, I would personally recommend the half shirt. But I know plenty of people who love the full-length. I'm sure either will be a good choice! Good luck with your search!
hey! So Im looking to buy a binder and I came across gc2b on Instagram. They looked like they really worked. Would you recommend the half shirt or the tank? (from gc2b)
