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?

Thanks for the info! I can't say I've ever thought about chest density; what I mean by "floppy" is that the tissue seems to grow outwards and down rather than generating bulk, which makes it hard to flatten them without also lifting. But I also don't actually have to decrease my circumference to look presentable, so I might try tape. I think 10 cm is going to work better for me than 7.5, I am positive I'd get rollover with 7.5, lol. My go-to for taking adhesive off my skin is isopropyl alcohol, but oil would probably be better for my skin.
