Size Ordered: Small
My Measurements:
Full Bust: 80 cm
Across Shoulder Width: 37 cm
Sizing Fit: 100% true to size, I lowkey was considering sizing up, but I'm glad I didn't! It doesn't push my chest fat outwards like some binders do, and it keeps everything in place whilst offering the best compression I've ever had!
Note - It's really hard to put on though, so I'd recommend getting someone to help you put it on! Especially if the binder is still slightly wet.
Comfort & Everyday Wear
Overall Comfort: 10/10, I was really surprised with how comfortable this binder felt. It's actually my favourite binder, and I've been wearing it as my daily one just because it's really comfortable.
Breathing & Flexibility: Surprisingly really easy to breathe in! Despite the strong compression, it doesn't restrict lung expansion or feel suffocating.
The only downside is that the swim material combined with strong compression makes it hard to put the binder on. However, once settled into place, it feels amazing against the skin with zero pinching.
Binding Effectiveness & Silhouette
Compression: Best compression I’ve experienced. I would say that this binder actually outperforms my standard daily binder in terms of overall flattening and hold.
Silhouette: The full-length tank cut provides a smooth, flat shape down the entire torso without any awkward tissue spilling at the sides or armholes.
Swimming & Functionality
Swim Performance: I would actually recommend this binder to anyone, whether they bind regularly or not, especially for those who do water sports. I can actually jump in the pool without worrying about anything coming off, and swimming just feels a lot nicer with the binder on, but that could also be because I feel dysphoric without it on.
Full-Tank Coverage: The full length stops the binder from riding up in or out of the water, but my only issue is that sand can get inside the whole thing but then again, sand gets everywhere so you can't really avoid that!
Summary & Final Verdict
Pros:
> Top-tier flattening effect (better than non-swim daily binders).
> Incredibly comfortable once positioned.
> Easy to breathe in for long periods.
> Really nice design which helps it pass as just a regular swim tank top
Cons:
> Takes some extra effort to pull on and take off due to the snug fit and water resistant material.
> Literally no other cons
Bottom Line: If you're looking for high level compression without sacrificing breathing comfort, this is a fantastic choice, not just for swimming, but as an overall daily binder. I would highly recommend buying this, but remember that what works for some, might not always work for others!
