Sizing
We prioritize your safety above all else, which is why we emphasise the importance of using the correct sizing chart when choosing your binder. Selecting the right size is essential for your comfort, well-being, and the safe use of our products. We currently offer two distinct sizing charts: one for our new FlexFit Binders and one for our Classic Binders. These binders are carefully designed for specific functionality, so standard cup sizes are not suitable for determining your size. If you're unsure which size is right for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us for personalized guidance—we’re here to help!

Measuring for a FlexFit Binder
A FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER:
1. Ensure that you are not wearing any other compression products, including a bra or sports bra.
2. Use a cloth measuring tape or use a string and measure with a ruler/tape measure if this is all you have available to you. Ensure that the tape/string wraps around your entire body.
3. If possible, please ask someone to help you. We also encourage you to measure a few times to ensure the measurement is as accurate as possible.
4. Ensure the cloth measuring tape/string is as tight as possible to account for the flattening effect of the binder.
UNDERSTANDING OUR SIZING CHART:
Our sizing chart is based on garment measurements, not your body measurements. Here's how to find your perfect fit:
1. Measure Your Chest: Use a measuring tape to measure around the fullest part of your chest (over the nipples).
2. Understand Compression: Chest binders are designed to compress your chest, so the garment's measurements are smaller than your body measurements. For example, if your chest measures 113 cm you could comfortably wear an X-Large. This is because the X-Large binder provides the compression needed to fit snugly while flattening your chest.
3. Choose the Right Size: If you were a particular size in our Classic Binder we recommend sizing down two sizes for a FlexFit Binder. For example, if you were an X-Large, we recommend sizing down to a Medium. If you have not previously purchased a Classic Binder, we recommend taking into consideration your chest measurement and deciding how much compression you'd prefer. For example, if your chest measurement is 88cm an X-Small would provide the amount of compression required for a binding effect. Sizes should correspond with your current Sports Bra size.

Measuring for a Classic Binder
A FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER:
1. Ensure that you are not wearing any other compression products, including a bra or sports bra.
2. Use a cloth measuring tape or use a string and measure with a ruler/tape measure if this is all you have available to you. Ensure that the tape/string wraps around your entire body.

THE PROCESS OF MEASURING:
Take each of the measurements below (top, middle and bottom) and divide them by three. Refer to the Sizing Chart below to see where this measurement fits best. All measurements are shown on the diagram above. Please feel free to contact us for any additional assistance!
1. Top measurement: take this measurement right underneath the armpits, where your chest tissue begins, making sure the tape wraps around your body.
2. Middle measurement: take this measurement right over the the area where your nipples are, ensuring the tape wraps around your body.
3. Bottom measurement: take this measurement, making sure the tape wraps right around your upper waist area.
4. OPTIONAL: to determine which type of binder will work better for you, measure yourself from your neck in line with your shoulders. Do this down to your upper waist for short binders, and to your hips for tall binders. DO NOT INCLUDE IN THIS IN YOUR FINAL MEASUREMENT.

Once you have measured yourself and you find that your measurement is at the upper range of a size, we recommend going one size up. For example, if your measurement comes to 80cm, it is recommended to order a size Small rather than an X-Small.
