What are TransUndeez long chest binders made of?
All FTM tank binders are extra⚡strong and feature a racerback design. They are comfortable binders made from durable 4-way stretch jersey, making them ideal for everyday wear.
The front panel is made from a double layer of this cotton fabric. For reinforcement, a tightly woven polyester layer is placed between the cotton layers, providing firm compression with minimal stretch.
The back panel is reinforced with a thin, smoothly woven polyester fabric with slight stretch. This construction creates strong compression at the front, resulting in a smooth, flat appearance.
You wear soft cotton against your skin with minimal polyester contact. The edges of the binder are finished with stretch binding, ensuring a close and comfortable fit.

Safe binding
Binding safely is essential to prevent health issues. Although this binder is designed to be safe and comfortable, it is important to follow some guidelines:
- Limit wearing time: Do not wear the binder for more than 8 hours per day and avoid sleeping in it. This allows your skin and muscles time to rest.
- Listen to your body: If you experience pain, discomfort, or breathing difficulties, remove the binder immediately. Contact a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.
- Care for your skin: Keep your skin clean and moisturized to prevent irritation. Washing your binder regularly also helps reduce skin issues.
