Gc2b Omdömen 107

so, my friend actually gave me two binders (that don't fit him anymore) from gc2b. he gave them to me as a birthday gift since it was my dream to have a chest binder. they're my first chest binders ever.

they're pretty good, i think the quality is great. i can breathe fine in them, and it flattens my chest well. i highly recommend gc2b if you're looking for a binder comfortable and good quality!

I've been a user of these binders for years and I have minimal complaints. The only issue I've had is binders not standing the test of time but neither do most clothes that go through daily use. I buy a new binder at least once a year and use the old one for working out and other similar activities. I don't recommend doing this if your size has changed.

A tip I will give you any new gc2b shoppers is go a size up from what you think your size is.

Be safe out there people!

i bought a binder from them back in 2018 which was only recently starting to wear out. i decided to buy from them again, both bc i prefer replacing things with the same item if possible and because i was curious if the quality had declined past the point of safety as so many ppl online have been saying. having both a 2018 and 2023 binder on hand i can confidently say: the quality is the exact same. the material is the exact same. the pattern is nearly identical. there are only minor differences in production that should not affect quality. the binder is comfortable and fits well (aside from not being as broken in as the 5 year old binder lol) and flattens my chest very well! i did a big detailed comparison post on my blog here which includes images so you can see for yourself!

AVOID HACKED & UNSAFE BINDERS!!!

I got hacked by their delivery service APC and by their anonymous tracking service app Route. Even if you go on their website it is compromised and if you have apple product or a VPN you will be notified that they stopped 20 or more from trying to track you just by trying to use their website and delivery apps.

Edit: binders arrived today on the 8th of may so far it seems like a harmless design till you try wearing it. It gave me chest pain. The first day I only wore for a few hours. The second day 25 minutes after wearing it I started to get chest pain. It is the correct size I took measurements and had them recommend me a size. I took it off and still even now the next day feeling a small bit tender. They clearly did not change their design of binders as the claim. AVOID IT NOT WORTH THE INJURY!!! BUY BINDERS ELSE WHERE.

I no longer wear a binder, but when I did I was recommended gc2b from all sides. I bought 2 in early 2022, and they very quickly went from binders to essentially stretchy T-shirts. Did absolutely nothing to flatten me after a few months. Buy from somewhere else.

I bought three binders from these people because I was in between sizes. I continuously asked them for sizing advice so that I would not have to buy 3 binders, explaining that I had a smaller frame but a way bigger and disproportionate chest. They just told me to get the biggest size, which fit me like a nice push up bra. I sized down, the effect was the same. I sized down even more, my chest was literally spilling from the sides.

I complained to the customer service explaining that I needed this binder for an important occasion (a coming out party for myself) and they laughed it off in written form (who the hell, as a professional, writes "ahaha sorry" in a customer service email?) and then closed my ticket for returns, so I can't return the binders anymore.

Your company is harming this community more than you think, especially with how you train your employees.

was good for a couple months, until the back completely disintegrated. I followed all the washing instructions. Really not worth it, especially for the huge price tag. Try Iguanatrend instead (you can find them on etsy and they are ready good)

have a full and a half binder from gc2b, medium and small, got them around mid 2021. they work for about 2 months before deteriorating. Double the cleavage and sideboob. Seams come undone rather easily and the back has stretched out from when I take it off. I am close to a C and it makes me look like I have small boobs rather than none at all. I go to school and then work and when i get home I get sharp pains all over (i know i have to limit my time) i wouldn't really recommend them considering they've gone down in quality and are more likely to crack or bruise ribs than the older binders

spectrum is the way to go
i got a gc2b binder and i have had it for probably 3 years but this is one of the worst binders i have ever got. its painful after about 3-4 hours but its properly sized. i got a spectrum outfiters binder its a lot better dont waist money dont buy gc2b there binders are dangerous just go with spectrum

If o could leave 0 stars I would. Absolutely shocking customer service. No response to numerous emails. Faulty items then weeks waiting for an exchange that wasn’t processed. Finally a response but not sent an exchange but a credit note and told to re-order but I would have to pay the £12 postage AGAIN. So basically I paid postage first time, then again for returning the item and they wanted it a tracked return. Then a 3rd time for my exchanged items to be posted to me. No loyalty for returning customers either. Shame on you GC2B for your really poor customer service or LACK OF! give me my postage costs at least!!

If I could leave a zero, I would. Binder was way too small, even though I followed the online measurements. Attempted to return item, but could not get any contact from customer service. Zero support from this company!!!!

I’ve gotten a few binders from them since ~2020. The only challenge I had was finding the right size for my body; but I feel like the website managed my expectations pretty well for that. I originally thought I would wear a small based on the size chart suggestions, but ended up working my way up to a “large” instead. While the small and medium had a great flattening effect, I found that I needed the space that a large gives me because I have a busy, active job that can go for long hours. I’m 5’4, 115lb, and measure at about a b-cup. Like any binder, ideally I don’t wear it too much more than 8 hrs a day or so, but with the large I can do 12 hrs or more occasionally. I’ve gotten a lot of wear out of them. I wash them maybe once a week on a delicate cycle and air dry.

They suck. I am an A cup, and my breasts are tiny, yet their binders give me more cleavage than I already have somehow. I have ordered a large, a medium, and an xs binder, and none of them work. The large does less for me than even just a plain bra, the medium is the same, and the small just gives me the same effect as a sports bra, with added back and rib pain. The quality is really bad aswell, a month after getting my binders, they already started to stretch out a bunch, and the seams came loose. This brand is also known to cause really bad rib and back issues, and if i could rate this a 0/5 i would.

The actual binder does a good job at getting me flat. However, there is an issue with the arm holes (which I have read about before). A lot of people have voiced their complaints when it comes to this problem. They seem a bit too wide/long and it makes it easier for 'the moobs/chub' whatever you want to call it... spill out of the arm holes. It's quite annoying and only does it on the left side (for me anyway). The front of the binder fits snug, yet I find myself having to constantly re-adjust it because of the armholes (almost like I have to pull the actual binder up to keep it positioned.) As for 'binding dangers' yes, even if you follow the rules of 8 hours, making sure your moobs are pushed towards your armpits not directly downwards - towards the floor, stretching, letting out a big cough after you remove it, etc. There are still risks and you could still do some damage even if you take these precautions. Are they more comfortable compared to an Underworks binder? For sure, yes. The material itself is 'silkier' whilst Underworks definitely has more of that spandex feel. I will say Underworks gets me flatter, GC2B also does the same, but I look as if I have pecs instead of just a completely flat chest (which is what Underworks does for me). GC2B gives me personally a more 'natural flat chest appearance'. All in all, they can be dangerous just like any other company that sells chest binders. You are taking a risk no matter what. Just follow the precautions to lower those risks.

The last few binders I've bought from them have immediately ripped and fell apart. So disappointing to see their quality go downhill. I bought my first binder from them and I used to really love this company. But I wouldn't recommend them to anybody now.

TERRIBLE.
i’ve heard so many good things about this company and now i’m at home lying in bed with a fractured rib from it. i bought the correct size and everything but the quality is terrible and horrendous. i would not recommend these to anyone.

For being called "the most trusted binder" i've been very disappointed and upset these past months. The binder is more of a glorified sports bra. It fits like a long bra and barely binds at all. The binder makes me MORE dysphoric. It is painful and it leaves deep marks on my sides and shoulders after i take it off. It is hard to breath and even to sit up straight with it on. It hurts my ribs all the way from my back to my front and i follow binder rules (i.e. only wear binder for certain amount of time per day) and i take breaks from wearing it every weekend. My ribs hurt now even without the binder on. I get sharp stabbing pains in my ribs and chest. instead of pushing my chest flat is pushes them together making one big brest instead of flattening my chest. It is so uncomfortable i have had multiple sensory panic attacks. I have had breakdowns crying after looking at my chest in the mirror WITH THE BINDER ON. It is insanely hard to get on and off. A small hole ripped in it after the first 2 months of wearing it. The binders get stretched and worn out within 3 weeks of wearing. For being around $40 this is insane.

Absolutely NOT! This binder (tank top version) was almost impossible to get on. I thought the top would be snug and the rest more loose like an actual tank top. But no. It hugged all the curves I’m trying to hide and made me look pregnant it squished me so tightly! I’ll NEVER recommend this brand or come back to them! My body dysmorphia came back into full swing after just one look in the mirror and I almost broke down crying. Horrible design!

The quality has decreased so much that binders don’t even last 2 months without damage. They cause severe rib pain. I happily switched to spectrum binders with none of these issues.

gc2b is NOT meant for transmascs and other queer ppl with bigger chests. i got my first binder from gc2b after winning a giveaway on instagram. it shipped relatively fast, i got it in 2 days! the first day it binded perfectly, and then i noticed the seam starting to unravel.

it fit me perfectly, and i never had any trouble getting it on or off that wasn’t routine (i checked in with my boyfriend and 2 other friends, and they said it was normal to have a slight struggle.) i tried to dismiss it, but after 4 days the binder had unraveled to the point it was binding worse than my sports bra.
i emailed customer support, and after showing the employee helping me they IMMEDIATELY sent me a return label and mailed out a new binder. i still haven’t been able to print the return label to ship it back, though.

i received the new binder shortly as well, and the same thing. first day was great, but after 2 weeks its binding less and less. i have to readjust the binder all the time, and slouch to look remotely flat. its annoying. and disappointing.

i used to hear INSANELY good things about gc2b. but now im hearing from both brand loyalists and new comers that their quality dropped, and you're better off getting a binder from underworks, which is what im doing now. genuinely disappointed how bad my first experience with binding was. the way it doesn't even bind has been making me so dysphoric. the binders cost too much to be this low quality, so id recommend shopping somewhere else.
