Breast binding

Binders on display at a Science History Institute exhibit dedicated to stretch garments.

Breast binding, also known as chest binding, is the flattening and hiding of breasts with constrictive materials such as cloth strips or purpose-built undergarments. Binders may also be used as alternatives to bras or for reasons of propriety.

People who bind include women, trans men, non-binary persons, and cisgender men with gynecomastia.
