“Decent, but I have no other compression tops or binders to compare it with. Not a huge fan of the fabric, but I assume it will breathe better. Don't feel hot or really... like anything in it? Wish there was a more fun pattern option.”
“This compression top is a joke. What little compression it offers is overshadowed by the bulge it causes at the bottom of the band (so if you're an XL or larger, or carry your weight in your torso, avoid this at all costs). I'm aware this isn't a true binder, but sports bras offer more flattening than this will ever hope to. The color was the only thing I liked about it.”
“It's a fabulous compression top offering a more comfortable solution than a typical binder. Absolutely invaluable for a nonbinary trans person. Came quickly and for me, decently affordable. Good quality. Thanks TomboyX!”
“This compression top is honestly amazing. I was never comfortable in a binder, it just didn’t make me look the way I wanted. But this is exactly right. I cried the first time I put it on. I’ve never felt better or more like me than when I wear this. I’ve recommended this to everyone I know. I’m planning on buying more ASAP.”
“I bought the 3X as it's the size of tomboyx bra that fits me best.
Pros: It's soft and comfortable, the color is perfect and so very me, and it squished my chest an inch. Still have a lot of chest left, but at least it was something and I mentally felt better in it than a regular bra.
Cons with the understanding that all bodies are different. I'm 5'6" if that helps:
1. Somehow the top of the shoulders felt they were too tall, yet the arm holes were just fine. Tugging it down didn't really alleviate the shoulders. It wasn't a problem per say and didn't make the top uncomfortable, just something I noticed.
2. I wish it was at least 2" longer at the bottom in order to provide the feeling of more coverage of a C-D cup chest. Unlike the soft cup bras, things get swished down, not forwards. I felt my chest was reaching to under the band.
3. Like many others have said, I wish there was more compression or there was available a top with more compression, something closer to a binder. Not sure if that's possible with the incredibly soft material used on this.
I don't necessarily regret purchasing this. I just wish it was better.
P.S. Having 4.5" or longer trunks in this color (thyme) to match would be an instant purchase for me.”
“I was stalking the tomboyx website for a few months to see when these would come back in stock and got 3 during the Labour Day weekend sale! They're definitely more comfortable than a binder and make me look and feel great. I'm petite with a larger bust and these definitely look best under very loose tops. I find that they press my breasts together and create a "uni-boob" look under tops with thinner fabric that drapes.”
