TGS Short Tank Chest Binder - Maximum Compression

The TGS Short Tank Chest Binder is a maximum compression chest binder built for the flattest possible profile. A triple-layer front compression panel — with a non-stretch woven inner panel that actively flattens, a moisture-wicking outer layer, and a soft cotton lining against your skin — delivers a noticeably firmer result than fabric-only binders. The outer layer wicks moisture, the non-stretch woven inner panel does the flattening work, and the soft cotton lining sits directly against your skin. Same maximum compression as our Short Racerback, with a standard tank strap that sits close to the neck and disappears under anything.

The short tank cut sits at the waist and layers cleanly under tees, button-ups, and fitted tops. Flat seams, no hardware, pullover style. The tank strap offers more back coverage than a racerback — the right pick if you're layering under clothing with a higher back neckline.

Want the same maximum compression in a racerback cut? See the Short Racerback. Need more torso coverage? See the Long Tank. Pair with packing underwear or an STP device — all from one trans-owned store.

📏 Size Guide — Maximum Compression

Maximum compression binders size differently from fabric-only binders. Measure around the fullest part of your chest — not your bra size. These measurements are tighter by design — do not size down. If you're between sizes, size up.

📐 How to Measure

3. Keep the tape level and snug — not compressing.
4. If possible, ask someone to help for best accuracy.

🧺 Care Guide

• Hand wash cold — machine washing degrades the woven compression panel faster
• Hang to dry — heat breaks down the compression materials
• Wash every 2–3 wears
• Rotate between two or more binders to extend the life of each
• Do not bleach
• Do not iron over compression panel
