    so ive been looking into this idea, because i only recently learned my current binder is unsafe and its honestly not doing its job anymore. i have relatively small moobs, im not sure what size but i know when i would wear bras i used to get smalls. but because im fortunate enough to have a smaller chest, would a compression shirt (like this: Under Armour Men's HeatGear Armour Compression Sleeveless Shirt | DICK'S Sporting Goods or this: Edal Mens Fast Dry Vest Fitness Training Sports Tank Top Sleeveless T-Shirt at Amazon Men ) work okay as a binder? i was looking into gc2b's because ive heard good things about them, but if i can go the cheaper road and flatten out my useless milk-sacks with a compression shirt i think i'd rather go for that. anyone have any experience with this method?

    If your chest is really small, it might be totally fine. It'll be less compression than a binder, which will be more comfortable but will also be less effective, so if your chest isn't small enough it might not bind well enough.
