Favorite warm weather binders/chest reduction hacks? (lemmy.one)

I've tried a bunch of binders over the years, and my current favorite is a gc2b tank binder, but it's a little clammy in hot weather. I've mostly been getting by with cotton sports bras at a band size two inches smaller than my actual size, with a square-cut, loose overshirt to disguise the lumpiness. That's good enough for a quick trip to the store, but I think have an excuse to buy a new one. (Never mind the... uh... several others in my closet, lol). Any recommendations?

I got myself a sleeveless hoodie which is decent enough to hide things

Or if small enough you could try tape although can be trial and error. I’ve had some success however only managed to reduce it rather than flatten completely

Ooh, I wish I could wear hoodies in warm weather! I have zero tolerance for warm weather (like, anything over 70F and I start taking off layers). Tape is a good thought, but I think I'm too big and floppy for it to work, tbph. I also usually have trouble keeping anything strapless from bouncing, sliding down, or both.

... but if I did try tape, possibly with tape "straps," what kind of tape? I know kinesio tape is supposed to have very firm hold, but I've never tried to use it.
