What is the Gc2B binding made of?
Comfort: The Gc2b binder is made out of spandex, nylon, polyester, and cotton. The website doesn’t list polyester but it was on the tag sewn into the binder so I assume that it is correct and the site just needs to be updated. The cotton really helps with this binder as far as comfort goes. It is a world of difference in comparison to any of the spandex and nylon Underworks binders I have owned. The back of the binder is very much like swimsuit material and is somewhat stretchy like a swimsuit would be. The front binding panel doesn’t stretch at all but because of the cotton it is actually not uncomfortable at all.
Does GC2B hurt when binding?
Correct. I don't have pain from binding anymore. I've been binding with GC2B daily for almost six months now and it is much more comfortable than my underworks tri-top. I only use my tri-top these days if the GC2B ones are in the wash. Give them a try when you're able to get a new binder, just make sure you get the right size!
