    Hi, so, I'm looking on GC2B and I'm slightly confused about which size binder I would need to buy. Their how to measure page says to measure your chest and also your shoulders. I've done both of these. My chest is 41 inches and my shoulder measurements read 15 inches. Based on my chest measurements I'm a 2XL, but based on my shoulders I'm a medium. Which size do I go for? Do I ignore the shoulder part? Do I ignore the chest part? Do I find some midway point between the two? I don't really know what to do here, and my dysphoria is getting too much, I need to order a binder as soon as possible.

    That's a good question. I think the chest is the most important part though. The shoulders is mostly to make sure you can even get it on.

    Np. You definitely don't want to go too small.
