summer and binding

[firewhispers]

Summer is getting closer and closer.
What do you guys do during the summer?
Do you bind and try to just take the heat, not bind, or find alternative ways to bind?
I'm a smaller guy, 5'1'', thin, and my chest is about a 34A. I bind with gc2 compression tank tops if it isn't too hot out or if I know I won't be outside for too long. A lot of times, I'll just put band aids over my nipples and wear a Hanes X Temp t shirt (to help with sweat) under my regular shirt and it works well for me.

Sizing is a bit different for everyone because of bodies being different. For me, gc2b sizes definitely do run small. Their system places me right between L and XL, but XL is definitely too small for me. (My 2XL hasn't arrived yet so I don't know how that fits. In the past, when I gained some weight, I went from M (that was a questionable fit from the beginning) to L very quickly, and then from L to… well, apparently not XL.) And I've heard some other people tell similar stories, I know only one person who got one that was too large.

If you live in the US, exchanges are really simple so it's not as dramatic if you get the wrong size. If you don't, they also work, I tried, and the customer service is really really nice, but the high return postage and another month of waiting makes it less fun of course.
