    My gc2b binder came and I can't tell if it is too big or not.

    I can pull it on no problem, which worries me a little. I know with my Underworks binder I have to fight like hell into it.
    I can also wear two sports bras (though they are really cheap and old and stretched out) under it no problem.

    Does it bind well? That's probably the only question you need to ask. The next size down will most likely be too small or won't fit over your shoulders. Were you on the cusp of 2 sizes? They have a good return policy if you want to try a smaller size, you only pay to ship that one back. The gc2b material is a lot softer and thinner than Underworks so mine tends to be easier to put on too. Main thing is the compression, compare how it binds to your Underworks and hopefully you'll be able to tell.

    Everyone I've asked says they can't see to much of a difference so I'm guessing I'll send it back. I mean its actually a bit loose, kind of like a tanktop that is only a bit to tight and only around the stomach

    Yeah, I'd try to get it exchanged for a smaller size if it feels too roomy. GC2B is really cool about returns, so you shouldn't have a problem.

    Okay, will do as soon as possible
    My underwork binder is just a bit to small. Like I can get it on with a little help.and its fine after getting it on, but I hate having to ask for help every time. It gets easier after bout a week or two, after that it has stretched enough. But then washing it tends to shrink it a bit, and with it being a hot hot summer and with me sweating a lot I do need to.

    Thanks for the responses
