Pack Animal Co. Mid-Length Binder

Pack Animal Co. Mid-Length Binder

by Pack Animal
$49.95

Color: Mocha

We love these thoughtfully-designed, Canadian-made binders! Blending the need for comfort and compression, these are made with a silky spandex material and an inner moisture-wicking cotton lining.

made with love

This product was made with extra care by a small, independent manufacturer.

How It Works

Chest binders work by applying firm, even compression across the chest to create a flatter appearance. The Pack Animal Co. binder has a non-stretchy front panel, and a very stretchy back panel, making it both comfortable and effective.

Because these are half-length binders, some folks with larger chests may find they don't provide enough coverage to feel secure. In that case, we suggest trying the FGBinded that are closer to a 3/4 length.

 

Find the right fit:
1. With a cloth measuring tape, take a snug measurement around the fullest part of the chest, preferably without too many layers of clothing on.
2. Use this measure to refer to the specification table

Pack Animal binders run small. We recommend sizing up if you are in-between sizes or want a slightly roomier fit.

 

Please choose a size carefully, sizes vary between brands. We do not offer refunds on binders, but they may be exchanged for another size or for store credit within 14 days of purchase. Returned binders must be in like new condition. If required, the cost of return mail and re-shipping is the customer's responsibility.

First binder I've tried, and it's okay

This is the first binder I've used, so not sure how it compares to others. I found it was quite difficult to get on and off. There is some loose material near my armpits. Not sure how I feel about the way it smooshes my boobs. Feels like it's close to a double-boob. I understand being stiff is part of the point, but I thought the non-boob portions would be stretchier. The bottom doesn't really touch my skin. Definitely doesn't hurt my lungs or ribs. Feels similar to a sports bra once it's on.

Not planning on returning it, but doesn't quite meet my expectations.

Thanks for shopping with us, and thank you for the review!

Some sizing tips: a binder should be a bit difficult to get on and off, but not too hard. Finding the sweet spot of compression and comfort may take some experimenting with brands and sizes, it often takes a few tries to find the best binder option. Pack Animal Co binders are short compared to some others, FG Binded may be a better fit because they are a bit longer. If you find the binder is not compressing where you want it to, try adjusting chest tissue down towards your armpits so that the binder doesn't have a push-up effect.

Hope that's helpful, please get in touch if we can provide more info!

An excellent binder

Of the binder brands I've tried, this one is the best, so far. Sturdy and binds extremely well, without being uncomfortable. Highly recommended!

Perfect fit and comfortable!

I was hesitant to order this binder because I was afraid of picking the wrong size, but I measured my chest as instructed and chose the corresponding size and it fits perfectly! It's really comfortable to wear and the material is soft, and does a good job making my chest flatter. I will definitely order more when I can! The package arrived within 24 hours, carefully wrapped with care and safety instructions, which was really nice. Impeccable service as usual, and a great product from a queer owned business. 😊

Good Binder ^^

To preface this - I have a lot of sensory issues and texture is a big factor for me, so ultimately it was the most divisive thing. Additionally, this was my first binder.

I bought this binder in person and the store associates were very helpful. I get anxious easily and they made getting my first binder very easy! I tried both the Underworks and the Pack Animal binders - for me, Pack Animal had more comfortable fabric + was WAYYY easier to get on (although this does mean it probably binded less?). Underworks has this sort of strange fabric which I can only compare to those Chinese finger traps, if you get what I mean. Pack Animals is a slide-y kind of fabric and isn't as rough on the skin. The binder works excellently. Although - I suggest being a bit careful when taking it off because I once stretched it too far and a few stitches popped...
I definitely suggest sizing bigger (although this is a rule of thumb in general when getting binders) - I'm 33" bust and generally on the smaller side of things but it meant I was on the higher end of XS, and I got a size S instead.

All in all, good for people who have sensory issues/sensitive skin and an excellent first binder :3!
