A chest binder is a compression garment worn to flatten the appearance of the chest. It's most commonly worn by trans masculine, nonbinary and genderqueer people.
Transform is an Australian-owned brand based in Naarm/Melbourne, designing chest binders for trans masculine, FTM and nonbinary people. Every binder is made without rigid internal panels. Instead we use layered compression fabric, so you get a flat, secure bind that still lets your ribcage expand when you breathe and move.
Our binders come in sizes XXS to 5XL, in crop and tank lengths and a range of compression levels. Not sure which one is right for you? Use the guide below, check our size guide, or book a free fitting at our Melbourne store.
Our most popular, adjustable fit: Crop (Adjustable). Our bestseller, rated 4.93 from 277 reviews. The adjustable fit lets you fine-tune your compression.
More coverage for more chest tissue: Tank. A full-length style that sits at the hip and doubles as an undershirt.
A simple pull-on crop: Crop (Pull On). No fastenings, just pull on and go.
Gentle, sensory-friendly compression: Sensory Compression Vest. Lighter compression with a soft feel, for sensory needs or all-day comfort.
Recovery after top surgery: Post-Surgical Compression Binder. Designed for post-op support.
For the pool or beach: Swim binders. Quick-dry, chlorine-resistant compression made for the water.

How do I choose the right size? Measure around the fullest part of your chest and compare it to our size guide. Never size down for extra flatness. You can also book a free fitting in Melbourne, or contact us for sizing help.
How tight should a binder be? Snug and supportive, but never painful. You should be able to take a full, deep breath. If you can't, it's too small.
How long can you wear a chest binder? Most guidance suggests no more than about 8 hours a day, with breaks, and never sleeping in one. Build up gradually if it's your first binder.
Can you exercise in a binder? Yes, if it fits well and has no rigid panels, like all Transform binders. Take it off if you feel pain or have trouble breathing. Read our guide to chest binding for exercise and sport.
What's the best binder for a first-time binder? Our bestselling Crop (Adjustable) is a good place to start, because the adjustable fit lets you find a comfortable level of compression. If you'd like lighter compression, try the Sensory Compression Vest.
What if it doesn't fit? We offer free 30-day returns. See our returns policy for details.
What's the difference between a chest binder and shapewear? A chest binder is designed to compress chest tissue evenly for a flatter appearance and to be worn safely for longer periods. Shapewear isn't designed for this. It can shift, dig in or restrict breathing.
Our binders have 442 reviews averaging 4.9 stars. The words customers use most are comfortable, great fit and helpful staff. Many are buying their first binder, and they tell us the experience felt easy and welcoming.
Many older and cheaper binders use rigid internal panels to flatten the chest. Those stiff panels resist your ribcage as it expands, which can make breathing harder, especially when you're active. We designed panels out of every Transform binder. Our layered compression fabric flattens effectively while moving with your body, so you can bend, reach and stay active.
