Any feedback on the chest compression?

I have found a product made of X5 materials. Does anyone have any experience with X5 materials or know what they are.

Is it or does it contain silicone? The product description says...."Made from X5 a unique material with superior properties. Most importantly, it's phthalates free for safe fun.

If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

It didn't work well. I'm not satisfied w it. It's hard to put on and doesn't compress much more than a good sports bra.

It's my first experience w one so I don't have anything to compare it to. It would be nice to have one that I could put on and adjust like a vest.

What size are you? I have 4 binders i'm willing to send people. I would prefer to split them up. (That is give them to atleast 2 people)

i have a medium black and white Tri-top Chest Binder - Extreme Binder Waist Length from http://ftm.underworks.com/

I have another black tri-top that seems smaller so i'm guessing that it is a small.

I have a white Double Front Compression Shirt. I think it is also a medium.

I'm 5'8" and around 160 lbs for an idea of my size and i think the small was when i was around 140 lbs.

If I needed any, anymore I would be tempted to get the Extreme Chest Concealer FTM Chest Binder Extreme! Chest Only Compression! Relaxed Mid-Section!

I'm not sure what the double front compression shirt is but it sounds good. I'm short but pretty stocky - about150. The small one i bought might be too small. The binders are really hard to pull over my shoulders and down my chest and waist. I appreciate the offer and would love to try em. I can send u my addy and I'll pay for the shipping.

I would recommend anything with double front compression. When you buy them new, it's always most uncomfortable because they are not worn in.
I wouldn't recommend putting them on over your shoulders. Try stepping into it, and pulling it up. MUCH easier.

I would say 60 % of people address me as a man now. I'm thinking I should just go ahead and have top surgery and get rid of 'em. I get down every time I see or am aware of them. I notice people looking at my chest in a perplexing way. *shakes head* Most of the time I can conceal them but not always 100%. It takes a combo of binding and wearing the right type of clothes. I just want them to go away. Disappear. Poof.
