Saw a dead tree into firewood lengths. Seriously if you need a chest binder but also need to be active as fuck, hit up @ShapeshiftersCB, they gotchu."

"Dear folks at Shapeshifters I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW HAPPY I AM WITH MY ORDER. Ever since they arrived my breasts have been a serious hassle. Sports bras were developed as a market when I was in my 20s, and as an athlete and a Butch I wanted to wear them but my breasts have always been too large. Being limited instead to the shame of spelunking through ladies' lingerie to find and make do with the biggest brassieres I could find, resigned to the lace, stuck in the pink, praying that maybe, JUST, MAYBE no underwire. I had given up wishing for sports bras ages ago. I had given up being able to address my breasts the way I want to ages ago. A friend suggested you and I couldn't be happier! I CANNOT WAIT to ride the 109 bus past Macy's where I NEVER have to shop for BRAS EVER AGAIN. Please understand how much you matter, and you have earned a customer for life!! Most Gratefully,

“ My experience with [Shapeshifters] has been incredible! They hand-make every binder and therefore have an unlimited size range. They require a few measurements and truly value bodies for being diverse and unique. ”

—BINDING FOR PLUS SIZE BABES, COMFYFAT, SEPTEMBER 2018

"Okay so first of all, wow. I think I must've said "Wow" a dozen times the first time I saw myself in the mirror. My partner and I were both just standing there agog while I turned and saw all the angles. My disabled body hasn't been able to tolerate traditional binders for years and years, but because this one is custom sized and has the zipper down the side, I'm having no issues whatsoever, I can get it on and off no problem and it's incredibly comfortable. This honestly does not even feel like I'm used to a binder feeling and yet I am properly flat, and I haven't seen my body look like this in years! And it's a beautiful object just in and of itself--I got a one-off fabric and it's SO cool. I'm totally blown away.... Thank you for making my experience of my body immensely more comfortable. I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to comfortably bind again and this very emphatically proved that I can!"

"I just finished making my binder using Shapeshifter’s Binder Kit! This kit made having a custom binder affordable for me and is a quick project for anyone with a bit of experience sewing knit fabrics. I love that I was able to add a zipper and that I can reuse the pattern to make another binder later. The pattern size was accurate and the instructions were easy to follow."

"My binder just arrived in the mail today and I was so excited just to put it on, and boy did it exceed my expectations. I ordered a custom binder all the way from Ireland because I wanted a high quality binder with a zipper because binders were just not accessible for me due to hypermobile shoulders. It is by far the most comfortable, best fitting binder I have ever worn, and it is so easy to put on and take off, I'll never have to worry about injuring my shoulders again :D Your binder has made binding possible for me again and allowed me to feel comfortable in my own skin, thank you so much for doing what you do."

"Perfect binder! I usually use GC2B's binders, but I always struggled with the material riding up, not covering everything, and very quickly binding less and less. So far, this one is incredible! The raised arm hole isn't uncomfortable, the panel is a cushion of comfort rather than feeling constricting, everything is covered instead of spilling out, and even the skin tone matches me better! I struggle with anxiety attacks, sometimes from or causing a feeling of suffocation. After a brief adjustment period, just getting used to the new feel, this binder was quickly so much more comfortable than my others!"
