Binder Sizing Help

Tools needed:

You will need something to measure with. A soft measuring tape is recommended. 

 

What if I don't have a soft measuring tape?

If you don't have a soft measuring tape you can still measure using a string, cord, belt, or anything you can safely wrap around your chest. Wrap it around yourself and then measure the length using a ruler, yardstick, or another measuring tool.

If you do not have a ruler, you can use an object with a known length like an uncased phone to estimate. For example, I have an iPhone 12. Apple lists the length as 5.78 inches without a case.

I tested this myself using a laptop power cord. I wrapped it around my chest just under my armpits for step 1, inhaled fully for breathing room, and pinched the spot where the ends met. Then I measured the cord using my phone. It was slightly less than 7 phone lengths long

7 times 5.78 equals 40.46 inches. Since it was just under 7, I rounded down to 40 as my upper chest measurement.

Remember: All bodies are unique!

You really have to try binders on. Measuring properly should get you close to your size. People with the same measurements can have different fitting outcomes because we are all unique. We all have different shapes and densities of our bodies.

 

What if the size I order doesn't fit?

You can return it. If your purchased the binder on sale we can honor the sale price when your order another size to try. We will honor the sale price even if the sale you ordered during has ended. Just ask us before your order.
