Underworks FTM Extreme Tri-Top Chest Binder Top 983

TL;DR: really good budget binder. Even with a larger chest and smaller frame it still does a great job flattening while the bottom edge stays flat on my ribs. Neckline bunches a bit so not for thinner, super fitted shirts **my sizes for reference: 29” ribs, 34” chest and got the Small size** I’ve gone on a binder blitz recently and gotten some from various companies. Honestly I didn’t have high hopes for this one since it was readily available on Amazon and didn’t cost a crazy amount. I’m glad I was wrong. This style (tri top) is the second style I have from Underworks, the first being the econo one (which compresses fine just the cut isn’t quite as precise as this one). I’ll say this was difficult for me to put on. Definitely couldn’t do it still being damp from a shower and I bet it would be hard to get off if I was sweaty. I can certainly feel the compression. I know having bigger boobs with a smaller frame I’m never going to be completely flat, but this gets me pretty darn close. While the bottom edge of this binder lays really flat on my ribs it still bunches a little, but not so much this it’s crazy noticeable through a t shirt (not super fitted). The neckline does bunch a bit more however, so I wouldn’t want to wear it under something very tight or thin. I didn’t do a lot of activity when I wore it but I would say definitely not for a high octane workout, at least if your boobs are that much bigger than your ribs because of the amount of compression. The straps do dig in occasionally on the shoulders but because they’re wider it’s not too uncomfortable until I can adjust it. After putting it on it was a bit of work trying to adjust my boobs only due to the arm holes being smaller (which hides my extra boobs spillage so not a sticking point for me) All in all I feel like it’s a great buy for the price and I’m shocked at the amount of compression I get

Ill compare the gc2b binder and underworks for people like me who are wondering if they should get it. I have worn the binder for almost a week now and it's usually on for more than 10 hours (which I definitely do not advise, I have severe rib and back pain from that) First off- shipping was extremely fast, I live in southeast Europe and it came in around 5 days (had to deal with customs but that's because I ordered from the American Amazon like an idiot). You receive what you ordered, an underworks branded binder with the size and colour you chose. The binder itself is made out of some sort of rougher, mesh material, way more rough than the gc2b and slightly longer (I find that more comfortable). It was kind of itchy the first day, but I quickly got used and it doesn't bother me anymore. The shoulder straps and the neckline are more discreet, they're farther away from where your shirt neckline would be, the gc2b are really far up and could be seen under most of my shirts. The straps cause some tension and therefore my shoulders hurt ( kind of like I have sore muscles but that might just be me). Some people say the bottom of the binder rides up, that doesn't happen to me but everyone has a different body so take everything I write with a grain of salt. Lastly- the binder is, from what I can feel, a bit tighter than the gc2b, it does bind better (i have worn the gc2b one for more than a year and it might have been slightly stretched). But since its tighter it also causes more pain. I wear the binder, usually, for more than 10 hours, my back and rib pain has increased and there is added shoulder pain, sometimes it's almost unbearable. Otherwise the binder is perfect, I love it and I will definitely order more.

This binder fit really well, I am a 32 C and I am incredibly flat with this on! I really love the product and the material is pretty nice. It’s not very soft, but the panel in the front does its job well. It cuts into my armpits a bit, but not enough to bother me too badly. The neck and straps go kind of high up, so it’s not really suitable for low-cut shirts. That being said, the packaging is not discreet at ALL. Luckily for me, this wasn’t a problem, but something to keep in mind for those ordering. The product came in the original manufacturer’s bag, product label visible, with no shipping pouch or box at all.

Amazing binder, been using underworks for years. While I do have a small chest la it may not work for everyone. It binds me flat and very natural looking. It feels a lot like a bathing suit and after a bit I don’t notice I’m wearing it. The fit was true to size too.

Material is very scratchy and rough. The arm holes are slightly too tight so it rubs up against your armpit and restrsicts your movement a little. The sizing chart is accurate though (my bust size is 39.5 and my band size is 33, I got a large) and it does bind well. It breathes better than my other binders which makes sense since the fabric is sheer. Its tolerable if you're wearing it for a short amount of time. Wouldn't get if you have sensory issues or are prone to chaffing.

Second time buying and I love it. I have the half and full binder and they get the job done. As a transman and fat these hold me together like a charm. It is tight in the right areas so don’t wear it too long because it will have you short of breath. At first it did dig into my lower back because it has a bit of a length to it but it wasn’t a deal breaker. No funny smell and it’s easy to wash. The material is like a spandex. Not bad.

This would have been the third Underworks binder I've bought in 3 years. I'm happy with the quality of the first two I bought. They're easy to breathe in and are overall comfortable for a lot of activities. The problem is I got the wrong size and can't even wear it all. I tried reaching out to customer service for a different size, but they completely ignored what I was telling them and wouldn't do anything to help me. Now, I'm stuck with a binder I cannot wear at all, and wasted money. I'm very unhappy and will not be buying from Underworks again.

Good

It's best you order a size up and it's hard to get on but once it is it's comfortable,you breath fine and binds amazingly

I’ve been using this exact binder for years and it’s never faulted me. It’s less prone to wearing out than other brands like GC2B or spectrum, the material allows more breathable meaning I don’t get that horrible sweaty feeling with nowhere for it to go. It binds much better than other brands for me, and I can wear it daily for 8+ hours without discomfort. I’ve had several of these in the span of a decade and never had any issues with seams ripping and even my most worn out binders still work surprisingly well for days I’d rather take it easy. The material might be a bit of an issue for some people, but for me I prefer it over the more swimsuit esque materials of other binders. It can also dig in a bit at the sides, but it’s never caused me more discomfort than say a sports bra.

I worked well but I no longer need to purchase them

Got the 3x and I absolutely love this
