Does My Binder Fit?Updated 6 hours ago

Take your binder off immediately if you're experiencing pain or breathing trouble.

  • The binder shouldn't be too difficult to put on or take off.
  • You should be able to wear your binder for a full day (average of 8 hours) without the binder causing breathing difficulties, pain, soreness, or discomfort. 

Signs that your binder may be too small:

• Marks on your skin, Rubbing or pinching

• Tissue "spillage" out of the top, sides, or bottom of the binder.

• Tingling or numbness 

• Pain, soreness, or extreme discomfort

• Extreme difficulty in putting on / taking off your binder

• Shortness of breath, or trouble taking a full breath with ease


Your binder may be too big if:

• You have to readjust your binder often

• Very loose shoulder straps

• There are large gaps around your armpits/shoulders

• Your binder fits like a regular tank top/doesn't bind
