The short binder is designed for those who want to effectively flatten the chest while making it easy to put on and take off. Thanks to its discreet front zipper, this model is particularly recommended for people with limited mobility, those recovering from surgery, or those experiencing breathing difficulties.

Comfort and compression levels may vary depending on body type, sensitivity, and the size chosen. When used correctly, it offers a good balance between support, practicality, and comfort.

SMALL & MEDIUM TORSO

FOR A & B CUPS (SMALL & MEDIUM CHESTS):

MEASUREMENT 1:
Place the tape measure across your chest, ensuring it's straight across your back, under your armpits, and over your nipples.
Breathe normally (without taking a deep breath) and note the measurement.

MEASUREMENT 2:
Place the tape measure under your chest, at the crease of your breasts, ensuring it's straight across your back. Breathe normally (without taking a deep breath) and note the measurement.
Add Measurement 1 + Measurement 2 and calculate the average of the two.

EXAMPLE:
Measurement 1 = 88cm, Measurement 2 = 79cm
(88 + 79) / 2 = 83.5 My size will therefore be M.

If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one.
