"This was my very first binder and I was really scared of getting the wrong size. The guide really helped me. I got a short one in size M, it looks super flat and I can finally wear white t-shirts without stressing!"

"I have a fairly large bust and I thought no binder would work. The long, medium-compression model changes everything. It stays in place all day and most importantly, I can breathe. Thank you for the discreet packaging."

👉 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does a binder hurt?
A properly fitted binder of the correct size should not cause pain. You may feel a sensation of compression, but if you experience pain or skin irritation, it's likely that the size is too small or you've been wearing it for too long.
Can you wear a binder all day?
It is recommended not to wear a binder for more than 8 to 10 hours a day. It is essential to listen to your body and take regular breaks to allow your rib cage to fully relax.
How can I tell if my binder is too tight?
If you have difficulty breathing deeply, experience dizziness, chest pain, or persistent red marks on your skin, your binder is probably too tight. In this case, we recommend going up a size.
Which binder should I choose to start with?
For a first experience, we often recommend a binder with "soft" or "medium" compression, in a short or mid-length. This allows your body to gradually get used to the feeling of compression.
What is the best length?
It depends on your preferences: the short binder is ideal for summer and sports, while the long binder offers a more uniform silhouette and stays in place better if you move a lot.
How to maintain it?
To preserve the elasticity of the fibers, we recommend hand washing in lukewarm water or a delicate machine cycle (30°C max) in a mesh laundry bag. Air dry only (do not tumble dry).
