“I’m so bummed. I initially ordered this in a medium despite it being bigger than i usually go, to be safe. I got it, and i looooved everything about it except I felt it could be tighter in the chest. So i exchanged it for the size down thinking I wanted more compression. The S is SO MUCH SMALLER in the armpits and the rib cage i am so uncomfortable. I should have kept the medium. If wondering if true to size, I’d err on the larger side.”
“Love this top!!
For reference: 5'8"/ 200lbs/ 38D bra
I have both the original, non-adjustable compression top, and the adjustable top, both in a size XL. There is definitely more comfort in the underarm area. No rubbing, and true to size. I feel confident wearing it, and seems to help my posture a bit as well. I can wear it all day and be just fine in it. It's the perfect streamline look I was going for. I really hope they come out with the Java color!!!”
“No different than a high quality sports bra :( I followed the size chart and was exactly size S, but maybe sizing down would be better. Will be returning.”
“Straps are still short and have the armpit problem on size 3X. I don’t know if it was modeled for a smaller size but definitely needs a couple of more inches to prevent that. Straps also dig in at shoulders.
I used the size chart measurements and it fits pretty well though. Compression is light but I have a smaller chest so I don’t need it more firm.”
“Got my compression top in the mail! Wore it yesterday and accidentally slept in it. Very comfortable, more comfortable than any sports bra I’ve worn and does a better job than any sports bra I’ve worn. You can still notice my chest, it doesn’t make me completely flat but it does hold them pretty close to my chest. I measured my bust and ordered according to their sizing chart. I like mine but would order a size down if I wanted to really squeeze them away but I don’t think it would be as comfortable and I wouldn’t be able to wear it as long.”
“DISCLAIMER: I am an h/g cup. If your chest is smaller my (singular) complaint most likely won't apply to you
It's a great binder, don't get me wrong and feel free to see my review on the non-adjustable version for a more in-depth cover of it's virtues. I'm just not as big a fan of these straps. They dig in even at the loosest setting, not painfully but enough to notice and leave a mark, and I need to wear it at a a tighter one to keep everything in place. Also the way the adjuster works is a little confusing but that's a really minor nitpick.
It's definitely good if you want something that's a little faster to get in and out of, but this just doesn't have the all day wear appeal of the standard version for me. If you have a less heavy chest it's probably great, I just need wider straps.”
