How do I know my binder size?
To find out the size of your binder you need to measure your torso with a tape measure.
- Stand in front of a mirror and keep your head upright while you take your measurements.
- The ribbon should go all the way around your torso.
- Then refer to the chart opposite to find the right size for you.
All our binders come in several sizes. In case of doubt, we recommend choosing the next size up to avoid excessive compression of the chest.
For long binders : it is recommended to choose a size above your measurements or of the short binder you may already be using.
💌 Don't hesitate to contact us at contact@bwya.fr if you need help choosing your size.

If you ever need help, don't hesitate to write to us. We're here to advise you 🙂
For A and B cups
- MEASURE 1: Place the ribbon on your torso. It should be straight down your back, pass under your armpits and cover your nipples. Inhale normally, without taking a deep breath, and note the measurement observed.
- MEASURE 2: Place the tape under your torso at the crease of your chest, level with your back. Inhale normally, without taking a deep breath, and note the measurement observed.
- Add measure 1 + measure 2 and average the two.
- Refer to the size chart above to find the right size.
- Measure 1 = 88 cm
