It's your standard sports-bra style binder, although compared to other brands I find this one to be easier to get off and on. I appreciate it being a nude color, tagless, and without any patches or anything indicating brand. The compression is medium at best. I'm not going to go jogging in it, but I feel pretty secure most of the day. My parts do shift a little throughout the day and sometimes I end up with my chest having a distinct "uni-boob" as opposed to the more even distribution ... BUT. I'm a 44D so there's only so much a binder is going to be able to do.
