As someone who has worn their binders for almost 6 years I would shop around. My new ones are horrible. I have some from 6 years ago that still fit me perfectly and from day 1 never caused issues when working 12 hour shifts but the new ones dig into my side. They make my neck and back hurt like there is too much tension on them. After 6 years I myself am switching companies.
@@robinsimmons2934 Which company are you switching to? I haven't bought a binder in many years as well, but due to some recent changes, I need a couple pairs for daily use. I was considering getting another 2b one, but been reading some bad recent reviews about it.
This was a helpful video! Inlive in europe so my first binders were from a french company, and i love them. I lager bought a long wjote and a regular/cropped tan binder from gc2b, and found that they didnt bind nearly as well as the bwya french ones. I then went online and saw many others complaining about wuality having gone down, tbough i personallu didnt experiemce what they were supposedly like at first, when i used to hear ot qas the best brand, so considering shipping all the way here to the nwthwrlands i was definitely dissapointed haha. I appreciate this video because its very recent so i can weigh my options more acxurately in the future :D
I just ordered my very first binder from gc2b, and although it still hasn't arrived (I ordered it on the 15th), I am looking forward to it. The sizing chart recommended a medium, but I bought a large in case I grow anymore. Hopefully going larger will help it fit :)
I was really crestfallen when I heard about quality going down earlier in the year, maybe 2023 because a little plan of mine had always been to bu from GC2B for my first binder..I regret not being able to purchase one sooner, do these binders at least bind adequately? It also said that some you can excercise in, I'm pretty sure- but I'm not sure about that though. Their website change also was drastic, it seems so different now😭and also they make trans tape now I think? Last time I checked. idk but thank you for the video and content!
I bought gc2b binders 3 years ago and they have definitely decreased in quality. They used to come with stickers and a care card. But they did have overlap on the seams then too. i think they have improved their tank binders tho because i had one 3 years ago and it would constantly ride up.
Long term they don’t really hold up well. My first GC2B binder from 2021 when their quality dipped has several areas including almost a full strap that is see-through. They also stretch out super quickly.
@@robynholdawayofficial yes, would very much love the luxe review !! I have a luxe binder i got a few months ago from them and love it, it feel so smooth and comfortable and actually binds well, That i was so confused seeing the desc and finding out you didnt like them, only to then remember luxe is different than their other products. Please please please try them !!
I've worn their originals for almost 6 years and bought a luxe and it's the binder I avoid. Seems are too thick and the front panel ripped in the center on the first wear.
my main thing is how inaccessible these are. for those with mobility issues its SO HARD to get into. also the seams are SENSORY HELL
My underworks ones are just as bad 🤷♂️
So glad you reviewed this one! I've always wondered if GC2B binders actually are worth the high shipping fee to where I live.

Mine fell apart after a year and a half, so idk they might not be worth it but 🤷♂️
Thanks for all your Binder knowledge you are very smart
Oooh, it seems like GC2B has lost a lot of money to be able to keep its quality.
How can I get one ❤
I dislike how your videos are formatted because it’s weird on mobile. Also, you should review the GC2B Luxe binders… I actually really love them.
I primarily make content for tiktok, hence the format. I would love to try them.
