    So, I have a very small chest (I don't even fit into an A cup most of the time) and I've gotten by so far by wearing a sports bra and thick-material or looser fitting clothes (so you don't see the straps through the clothing). But I think it's time for something that works a bit better like an actual binder. Can anyone tell me where I could get a good one? Also, do binders show through clothes?

    Underworks is my favorite, I've also heard good things about Les Love Boat and gc2b. They only show through clothes if you're wearing a white shirt, and you might see an outline of one if you're wearing a thin shirt or it's windy.

    From my experience, Underworks and gc2b are both great. (I'd say gc2b are more comfortable and easier to put on/get out of, though - they're my recommendation.) They're generally only visible under clothing if you're wearing something particularly tight/thin - with the average shirt it isn't an issue. :slight_smile:

    My experiences is with Underworks and they compress very well. I have DD and it almost makes me flat.
    But I have heard good things from love boat and gc2b as well

    Binders don't normally show up through clothes, if you are wearing a black binder and wearing a white shirt or any shirt that is light colored, it might show through but that's about it.

    As for getting a binder check out my signature below for a chance to win one!

    I agree with Underworks and GC2b. They're on the lower end of the price range and get the job done well for smaller chested guys. Sites like Loveboat are in "asian sizes" and also work well, but are generally more expensive.

    I have a similarly small chest and what's worked really well for me is a LesLoveBoat velcro binder. The nice thing about a velcro binder is you can wear it looser. I don't need the full tightness to get a really flat chest, so I wear it a bit looser and find that I can easily and comfortably wear it longer than the usual 8-10 hour limit because it isn't putting so much pressure on my ribs.
