Compression Shirt Size Finder for Gyno
Sizing is the number one complaint in compression shirt reviews, and most of it comes from guessing. Measure once, enter your numbers, and this tool tells you exactly which number to use for each brand, and which way to lean.
Quick answer
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your chest around the ribs, your waist at the belly button, and your height. Enter them below. The tool tells you which number to read each brand's chart with (Underworks averages rib and chest) and whether to go up when you're between sizes. Then check the chart on the listing you buy from.

A soft tape measure works best. Keep it level and snug, not tight, and breathe normally.
Your numbers
-to read most charts
-Underworks: rib and chest averaged
| Brand | Use this number | If you're between sizes |
|---|---|---|
| Esteem Apparel Original | - | Runs small for many and true for some. Use the chart; go up only between sizes. |
| QORE LOGIQ | - | A strong squeeze. Go up between sizes, and pick a tall size for a long torso. |
| Underworks | - | Underworks says to average your rib and chest measurements and read its chart with that. |
| Manshape MagiCotton | - | The small runs tight. Follow the chart, not your T-shirt size. |
| Insta Slim | - | Many buyers go one size up, but not all. Check the chart. |
| KOCLES | - | The maker says to go one or two sizes up from your normal shirt. |
Brand charts change, so this tool gives you the number to use and which way to lean, not a size letter. Always check the chart on the listing you buy from. Never size down for extra flattening; it rolls up and pinches.
How it decides
For shirts that mainly flatten the chest, most brands go by your chest measurement. For body shirts that also squeeze the stomach, the larger of your chest and waist is the safer number. Underworks asks you to average your rib and chest measurements.
When you're between two sizes, the tool suggests going up if the brand runs small or squeezes hard, if you're tall, or if you'll wear it all day. Otherwise, the smaller size is fine for a few hours' wear. These rules come from the compression shirt size guide, which also covers the signs a shirt is too small or too big.

Questions people ask
What size compression shirt should I get for gyno?
Measure your chest at the fullest point and use the brand's own chart. Go up only if you're between sizes and the brand runs small, you're tall, or you'll wear it all day.
Should I size down for more compression?
No. A too-small shirt rolls up, pinches and pushes tissue out at the armpits. Get a stronger shirt in your size instead.
How do I measure for a compression shirt?
Wrap a soft tape around the fullest part of your chest, level and snug. Also measure around your ribs just under the chest, your waist at the belly button, and your height.
