This is a Journey to Find a Coherent Balance.
At Fytist, we may not advocate "flattening" being a chest binder's sole and core purpose. Instead, we are firm believers in designing a comfortable and safe binder, and we are aware that binding, for some, is like a journey to find a balance between flatness and health, body and mind.
Better Comfort & Looking Flat.
The breast mainly comprises adipose tissue and other soft tissue, which cannot be shrunk. In other words, the purpose of a chest binder should be to make the chest look flat, not shrink the chest.
Unlike other brands pursuing the pressure of the chest, Fytist pays more attention to the shape of the chest in the chest binder to achieve the effect of "looking flat" and comfortable binders.


Proper Breathing is a Must
When you are breathing, the chest cavity is expanding and contracting with the lung lobes. High pressure and stiffness on the chest limit the cavity expansion, reducing lung capacity for breathing, making people feel chest tightness, discomfort, and pain when breathing. That’s why we need abreathable chest binder.
Fytist avoid using 100% stiff and pressuring fabrics on the front fabric panel. Instead, our chest binders' front panel adapts partially elastic fabrics to allow more space for our lungs to breathe properly without excessive constraints.
Healthier Back and Posture
Standard commercial chest binders have too much pressure on the front chest, disrupting the balance between muscles and bones. Such disruption would cause back, abdomen, and shoulder pain after a period of wearing. If long-term unprevenbted, or untreated even when feeling pains, would like to cause posture problems, muscle atrophy, even bone deformation, and fracture.
We sought consultation with physiatrists. The Fytist chest binders are designed with balanced pressure on the wearers' upper torso, avoiding balanced pressure leading to hurting one's body. Reducing back pain and series of problems caused by bad posture when chest binding.
