This compression bandeau is handmade in Los Angeles with a 70% nylon, 30% spandex compression knit with antimicrobial and moisture management treatments. It was very carefully designed to have strong seams, clean finishes, and no rough areas or tags to scratch or irritate the skin. The two layers of fabric in the front work to compress the chest without making it hard to breathe, while the silicone grip logo elastic keeps it from slipping down the chest to an uncomfortable angle. DO NOT USE IF ALLERGIC TO SILICONEWe find that pulling it up over the hips, holding the elastic inside-out helps a lot with getting it on!NOT FOR POST-OP USENot all brands use the same sizing so please use our chart and read the below notes: This style typically works much better for people with larger cup sizes, since those with smaller cup sizes would mainly be squeezing their ribcage rather than chest tissue. If you have a cup size of "C" or below, or are otherwise concerned about constriction of the ribcage, please order a SIZE UP! If using simply as a bandeau and not wanting much flatteness, please order 1 size up in the "lightweight" or "flex" version or 2-3 sizes up in "original" or "vers." If you don't have a D+ cup size or chronic shoulder/neck pain, we recommend binders with straps for the comfort and a more "masculine" shape. Our tape is also a great "strapless" alternative! ORIGINAL VERSION: Made before 2025 For many years we had been making these soft binders with fabric from the same mill. Unfortunately, that mill has recently become unreliable and we are struggling to find another supplier that can make fabric exactly the same as our original quality. So our original inventory may start to sell out. Most of our reviews for this product are for the original compression level. The original fabric has antimicrobial properties and a moisture-wicking finish. Our Original inventory may run small compared to the size chart / other versions, especially in the plus sizes. LIGHTWEIGHT AND FLEX VERSION: The Flex fabric is the same weight as our original compression material, so it is still very soft/plush, but is stretchier and less rigid than the original version. The lightweight fabric is also more stretchy as well as a bit lighter-weight than our original fabric, more like the swim fabric we use for the Active Top and Tucking Bikini. Since this does affect the fit and feel of the binder, we have decided to label items made with these fabrics as "Flex" and "Lightweight" to show a distinction between them and our original soft binders. These may feel looser, especially in larger sizes, due to the stretch. Compression tops with more stretch are better for excercise. The lightweight version is also going to dry faster, making it better for cardio and swim - though we don't recommend swimming in the white color. The lighter-weight fabric will be more breathable, but is also thinner. These stretchy compression tops with antimicrobial properties and a moisture-wicking finish are a great option for post-op use, or for anyone who is looking for compression similar to that of the Active Top, but in this cut with a zipper and lower neckline. The Flex and Lightweight versions run larger than the Original. Please order 1 size down from what the chart recommends for Flex, unless there are notes to size up or you're not hoping to compress your chest very much.

This style typically works much better for people with larger cup sizes, since those with smaller cup sizes would mainly be squeezing their ribcage rather than chest tissue. If you have a cup size of C or below, or are otherwise concerned about constriction of the ribs, please order a SIZE UP! If you don't have a D+ cup size and don't have chronic shoulder/neck pain, we recommend you use binders with straps for comfort and a more masculine shape. Using our tape may also be a better alternative for you! This style can be a bit difficult to get into, so please do not order it for post-op use. Here's a tip for getting it on: Unless you have wide hips, we recommend pulling it up over them, holding the grip elastic inside-out and away from the body to prevent the silicone from "sticking" to your skin until you have it placed properly. There is no adhesive, just the silicone grip: Our soft binders offer more comfortable compression designed to prevent back pain, difficulty breathing, chafing, sensory issues, and binder-related anxiety in addition to using fabric treated with antimicrobial and wicking finishes. Styles like this one called compression tops in their titles - though they use the same fabric as our soft binders - probably won't get the wearer entirely flat due to the shape or body type they are designed for, so please keep realistic expectations.
