This is a great product and I’m so glad I got it! It’s my first binder, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but I think it’s a great first one. I bought it because I wanted a binding option for swimming. It’s great in the water, but honestly I’ve been wearing it as a regular binder more, because it’s so nice. I find it comfortable, and it would likely be safe to wear for 8-10 hours, but I’m not sure I’d want to because I do start feeling squeezed (no pain, just my tolerance goes down) after maybe six hours or so. I usually hate tight clothes but it feels quite reassuring. It’s definitely gotten looser after a few wears, and it seems to loosen more if I don’t wash it, which helps it reshape a bit. I hand wash it and dry it laying flat. The panel isn’t so ridgid now and does conform a bit to my chest, but it still looks flat (in a natural way) under loose clothes, and I don’t have that much dysphoria so I don’t mind. It has a high neckline and straps near my neck so it is visable under most shirts but I also don’t mind that. I want to invest in an Origami Custom binder at some point because I think the binders with panels generally strech out faster than one made of strechy material, but this is wonderful at this price! But I’m glad I sized up to M for my shoulders! It’s not that hard to get on and off once I figured it out, but size small wouldn’t have gotten over my shoulders. That’s all!
