Super happy with the racerback as an improvement over the original compression top. I think some other reviewers don’t understand that this product is not intending to be or advertising itself as a binder. I can’t wear binders due to anxiety, and these compression tops are the absolute best alternative I’ve found. The original pinched under my armpits so I saved it for special occasions, but with the change in cut for the racerback, I would be entirely comfortable wearing these daily. Bring on the euphoria!

Fits true to size and super comfy. However, I wouldn't say it has much compression for larger chested people. It probably does more compression for those with smaller chests but if you are bigger than a C cup you might find it works more like a sports bra than a binder. It does still bind down *slightly* more than a standard sports bra but it doesn't create a "medium compression" as in the description on a larger frame.

I purchased this compression top for my husband, who has never used a compression top or binder before. He is over the moon with this compression top. It is a soft, comfortable material that sits well under clothes. This was important to him because he works in an active and fast-paced environment, and he is not comfortable with all of his coworkers to knowing he is wearing this under his clothes. It provides mild compression. We both believe this might be a good option for someone who is smaller-chested, someone who is just beginning their binder/compression top journey, and/or someone who desires only to have their clothing lay more flush atop their chest without maximizing the look of any existing breasts.

I just got mine and am really excited about it and happy with it! I'm autistic so I have lots of sensory sensitivities and find most bras (even sports bras) and binders super uncomfortable. I'm probably somewhere between an M and an L, maybe technically closer to an M, but decided to go with an L and am really happy I did. It feels like a comfort party, and it's stretchy enough that it's not at all baggy and still provides some nice compression, but doesn't feel too constrict-y, uncomfortable, and stressful in the way that lots of binders and sports bras do. It's a bit longer than the TomboyX bras I have and the waist band lands right at my waist, which I'm finding much comfier than when they hand higher up and more on my ribs. I often feel like I can't quite breathe as deeply and comfortably as I want to in bras, much less binders, and I'm really stoked that I'm not feeling that at all wearing this. The fabric is nice and soft, and so far none of the seams are driving me crazy and there aren't really any places that feel like they dig in or limit my range of motion. Binders that have small arm holes and dig into my armpits are the bane of my existence, so I'm really liking the more spacious arm holes that the racerback design creates. I'd probably feel comfy and happy to wear just this out and about as a top in the summer.

I had super high hopes. It feels great, the sizing is on point, the material feels in line with the price, but... it just doesn't bind. My cup size when I still wore bras was a 34DDD (which translate to an XL in TomBoyX's size chart), and this compression just barely /lesser/ than my good sports bras that I wear on no bind days. It a nice light fabric for binding break days, and I'll certainly use them, but if you have substantial chest tissue, there is no bind to be found here unfortunately.

So I'm a 34G and I have been desperately looking for a bra to minimize that's also comfortable. I hoped this would be the answer but alas. I sized down and bought a large because I wanted tighter compression but the band is still way too big, loose even, a medium however wouldn't give me enough coverage. The straps are way too long on me, so the high scoop neck becomes low, full cleavage which i didn't want. The compression is okay, holds me up despite the weight and has enough material to cover which was a pleasant surprise, but i doubt it'll hold up. I can easily see this getting stretched out quickly. That said it still works as a nice sports bra, but for a 34G it doesn't minimize in the slightest.
