Exactly what I wanted!

I am a 36B and got the medium but it was much too small. It felt hard to breathe and my breasts were being squished out over the top and out the armpit holes. Fortunately from my research I knew this wasn’t normal so I sized up to a large and the fit is so comfortable & has great flattening affect! I would say even better than the medium since my breasts aren’t being squished up.

Pros
  • Very good
Cons
  • too itchy

Lining horribly coarse

I had a double mastectomy to flat 18 months ago and still have chest discomfort. I have not been happy with the spendy compression garments so thought I would give this a try. I could have used a size up, and the lining is horribly coarse, so I will wear it inside out. I suspect if one was trying to flatten the evidence of boobs this would work for that, and it would have worked well for compression also had I ordered up a size. Arm holes were a bit small also. I doubt I will use much.

Pros
  • The TomboyX Athletic Compression Bra offers a comfortable and supportive alternative to chest binders, ideal for individuals seeking a medium level of support while engaging in physical activity or everyday wear
Cons
  • Not suitable for individuals who prefer a front-closure sports bra

Uncomfortable straps, uniboob look

I bought this not as a binder but as a no-underwire minimizer style bra. It does compress but gives extreme uniboob (I’m a 38D) — seemed worse than with other bras. Also, the straps really dug into my shoulders more than my other bras, and it was killing me by the end of the day. I had high hopes!

Pros
  • 59% Polyamide Nylon, 41% Elastane
Cons
  • May not provide enough shaping for individuals who desire a more sculpted look

Not compression but minimizing

I also had the uniboob problem. the fabric can show your nipples. Its the amount of minimizing I had expected, just did not know what it would look like and cause till I put it on. Over all I am happier with it, but going to keep looking for a better result.My metermen's are 28 under, 34 cup. Ordered a s and xs. The xs fits better.

Pros
  • COMFORT - Smooth, durable flatlock seams won't irritate or chafe, in breathable fabric.
Cons
  • The full coverage design may not be suitable for individuals who prefer a more ventilated sports bra

Thin but strong good for me

I was surprised how well this fit. The fabric felt too thin to provide compression, but once it was on, it did a great job! Not sure how well it will breathe in hot weather, but it's great for me now. I'll definitely be buying more colors .

Pros
  • Women
Cons
  • May not be suitable for individuals with a sensitivity to certain fabrics

Seems well built best in my review

I used the sizing chart online for a 54H, 60" bust line (6x).The product arrived promptly, and seems to be a well built product.I tried it on only to find it just slips over my chest with no compression whatsoever.The items is now being returned because the sizing chart was wrong.I did however like the top, and I have ordered a 4x and 5x. I will try them on and see which one fits the best on me.5x fit like a champ! Squeezed the girls down flat, but not too tight. It might be a bit warm to wear…

Pros
  • Pull-on closure
Cons
  • Potentially too tight around the rib cage, causing discomfort during wear

Avoiding Cyclops Boob

I had tried one of these compression bras before, and while I loved the feel, it gave me what I call "Cyclops Boob." No matter how I tried to adjust my 34J boobs under the compression top, it pushed them to the center of my chest in a single minimized but obvious mound. I recently conceived of trying the top again, this time over my underwire bra. I ordered one size up from the previous top I had returned.and.success! It flattened things as much as I could expect at my particular cup size…

Pros
  • Pull-On closure
Cons
  • May not be suitable for individuals with larger bust sizes

Fits Perfect and Super Comfortable.

Like above, it fits perfectly and I can wear it all day. In my situation, it’s a bit difficult to get a binder right now, but this has been really effective for helping with my Dysphoria. I have a small chest to begin with, and it helps me achieve a virtually flat appearance.

Pros
  • Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry
Cons
  • Potential for chafing during high-intensity workouts

Felt too tight at first, but okay eventually

When i first put it on i found it a little hard to breathe in, but i managed to wear it for a whole day and no pain was experienced. I wore it out today for a full day of workout and i felt great! Highly recommend!

Pros
  • DESIGN - Both front and back are lined with Power Mesh to add support and full-coverage compression. Thick straps for comfort and support, with a stay-put elastic chest band. Scoop-neck front and back.
Cons
  • May not provide enough support for individuals with a chronic or acute chest injury

Good fit, but seams hurt my skin

I really had high hopes for this one. It fits great and the compression is amazing, but the seam stitching under the arms is so prominent and scratchy that I don’t think I’ll be able to wear this. I also really dislike the uni-boob effect, but could have overlooked that if this was comfortable. Pretty disappointed bc this was kind of expensive!

Pros
  • My kid has loved it.
Cons
  • Usually wear a large but this was so small. Could barely get it on. Will donate.

Make sure it's the right size

the bra is well made with good materials & a good shape.however, i ordered it based on measurements from last year that don't reflect my body anymore- lost weight & didn't know it- so it arrived a size too big.i can make it work because i can sew, but i still recommend knowing your measurements before you buy!

Pros
  • Lingerie
Cons
  • May not provide enough compression for individuals who need a tighter fit

Instantly replaced my binder

No pain for wearing for long periods of time, I can wear it all through a 10hr shift. Helps me feel like I'm perceived as completely flat, but I'm already an A cup so I don't think it would have the same results on larger chested people. Overall I'm 100% happy.

Pros
  • Machine wash cold in a mesh bag, line dry
Cons
  • May not be flattering for individuals with a smaller chest

So comfortable compared to a binder

I'm a pre op transman, haven't worn a bra in 6 years. I'm so tired of not being able to breathe at the gym or while working 10+ hour shifts so I finally bit the bullet and bought this. Damn it's comfortable. I am about a 34b and this has me basically as flat as a binder without the suffocating feeling. Btw I am kinda between sizes, but I usually wear a small binder (but they've been feeling tight lately). I bought a small and a medium. The small fits better.The only negative with this is that…

Pros
  • FIT - Made for all body types, plus size inclusive, sizes 3XS-6X
Cons
  • Not ideal for high-impact activities as it only provides medium support

Pretty good! good for me

I’m nonbinary and pretty dysphoric about my chest, but the idea of wearing a binder still makes me a bit anxious. I purchased this as a compromise to alleviate my dysphoria and it’s great! I don’t know my exact cup size but I have a medium chest and this top does a good job of flattening enough to stop me from feeling my breasts when I move. I personally don’t find the material scratchy, but I’ve only worn it for a few hours a couple of times. The one complaint I have is that I wish there was…

Pros
  • Clothing
Cons
  • Limited sizes available for larger individuals
