I've been wearing g2bc's on/off for about 7 years, and (unfortunately for me, haha) it does not alter the shape of my chest/body at all.

Ugh sorry thats the case for you! You deserve to look a way that matches who you are. But thanks so much for the pointer!
Oh btw how is it, sensory wise, compared to a sports bra? I sometimes can't handle tight clothing.
They can feel tighter. If you're not too worried about being as flat as possible, then you can get a size larger than what's recommended for your dimensions. Racerback-style ones will also feel less tight generally.
For me it's tighter than a sports bra, unfortunately!
If you have the means, I definitely suggest getting one your size and another one that's one size bigger (e.g., getting one L and one XL). That way, you have an option depending what you want to do that day and wear the one that's more appropriate for the day. For example, I use my size when I'm just going out to the mall or for a walk, but I use the bigger one when I'm going to a crowded concert or doing some light exercise.
So I'm transfem and have never used binders, but from what I understand wearing ones that are too tight for extended periods of time can hurt your breast tissue. So long as you get ones that fit you properly you are likely good to go?
Don't quote me on this. Hope you can find some good answers
From my experiences as a trans femme that likes binding sometimes, I'm 99% sure this is the case. As long as you follow gc2b's (or another reputable brand's) size guide then you should be golden.
