You are most likely an A cup,which are not easy to find.

Wear a bra when you feel like wearing a bra feels right.

We wear one because,well we can! Not because we need one yet.

Hugs,

Hi Justine

Angie is quite right.......many months ago I bought two bras online as I was and still am too nervous to walk into a store and select one.....anyway, was I ever so optomistic with what I selected.....I could carry may purse, make up bag and half the kitchen in the amount of bra cup I have and the 'girls' seem to shrink away at the sight of all that lace......

Hugs

I am nearly 4 months on HRT and have a 42C bra, however dont get me wrong Ive not developped that fast. I wear forms to enhance the appearance and they are c cup. On thing about breast forms if the girls arent too sensitive for them is that they can act as rather good shockabsorbers and tend to soak up the blow of a file drawer or something. The only time I have ever seriouslly wacked one of the girls was on my way to the bath when I cut the corner out of my bedroom and wacked on on the door... that brought stars to my eyes... and a few tears

Band size (under your brest area) - then breast size (across the nipples) - A cup up to 4" difference - B cup up to 8" difference - a cup size up every 2" after that.

Bras are notorious for a huge diffence in fit. Start with a good cloth, no lace, type. The preformed cups redominate the market - and they are not very good to start with.

I would just get a B cup and use enhancement.

Hope this helps

Honey....

There's no set fast rules...wear what you like, when you like...

Some girls are more utilitarian and wear very plain bras...

Many girls wear frilly, lacey things to suit their taste....

I'm 10 months HRT and I don't wear anything!

Not that I don't HAVE anything, because I do..

It's just that I'm a child of the 60's and I like them to be free!....lol

But at first when the girls and nipples are sensitive, wearing one offers some protection form rubbing and small bumps....

A well placed bump can send you through the roof.....Trust me on that one.....ok?

Wearing a bra or going without is totally a personal preference. It's not all about needing to wear one. It is as much about how wearing a bra makes you feel. For me wearing a bra is relaxing. I love the sensual way my breasts feel in a bra and it is a constant reminder of my womanhood. Comfort is everything and you may have to try several to find a bra that is truly comfortable to wear as there are differences in how bras fit an individual woman given the various brands and styles. I fill up a c-cup and am not on HRT (I developed female breasts naturally during adolescence.) but can appreciate those who are with the resulting sensitivity and soreness that comes when our breasts are developing.

OLD OLD JOKE

What is the definition of a zebra?

The largest size you can buy!

I am like Dee Jay and usually don't wear a bra except when dressed to the max. I love the feel, I have some that fit well, and have enough to justify, but when I have to adjust the straps - it outs me instantly if I am not in female mode (you can wear a bra and not be in female mode - loose blouse or shirt, or with a sweater or coat on.)

So - its a personal choice.

At home i do not wear a bra, but when i go out i wear a sports bra, only because it is more comfortable, i do own regular bras but like the comfort of the sport bra better.

This should help

I myself go braless most of the time,because I love the feel of the air on my girls.

But even going to the ice house I will put on a bra.I found by lots of observation,

that most women do also,and why I started wearing one so often..Now I am very

comfy wearing a bra,but like most ladies,can't to get home and take it off and let

those girls breath,ahhhh.LOL Makes me understand my ex a whole lot better when

she used to breath a sigh of relief on taking her bra off.

      No more talk

      In my last session my therapist is starting to suggest that I need to start exploring my gender identity in a more tangible way through wearing feminine clothing at least during sessions.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around her seeing me actually en femme.   I love and trust her, but the thought of being visibly feminine is scaring (and thrilling) me.  Is this a common thing in gender therapy?  How do I get past the fear?  More importantly, what should I wear?

      USA doctors denounce Cass Report, support trans folks.  The Endocrine Society And American Academy Of Pediatrics Respond To Cass, Reject Bans. In recent weeks, the Cass Review out of the United Kingdom has been used to argue for bans on care.

      Finally Starting HRT

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      I felt the urge to date and felt just like a teenager again. I have recorded my journal titled Ashley's Life From Start to Present. I was very moody and agitated and happy. I think it was my body's way of being in shock. After about two months it got better. Remember that you aren't the only one transitioning because your wife is too. Consider yourself lucky because I lost mine because of it and so have many others. Just enjoy the ride.

      I'm sorry for asking so many questions about your situation. I'm in your camp and believe you should be able to be whoever you feel you need to be. I guess it the Union Shop Stewart coming out in me. I want you to be treated fairly as well as respectably. You're human, you're a client of theirs. Especially if you're paying money to be there.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Political candidate, who linked pedophiles with LGBTQIA+, gains preselection approval.

      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.

      Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology.

      Welcome to Lefty Land.... a festive theme park full of sparkles and unicorns, a perfect place except for one evil orange dragon wearing a blond wig.    I'm always amazed at the "flexibility" of definitions.  One person's f@scist seems like a centrist to others.  One person's "moderate" looks to others like the 2nd coming of Fidel Castro.  A normal marriage a century or two ago is now a criminal offense, and relationships that used to be a criminal offense are now open, normal marriages.  Pedophiles now want to be called "minor attracted persons" and teenagers are now defined as children.  A Republican in NY or CA would be a Democrat just about anywhere else.  I'm certainly no advocate for relativism, these are just observations.    What I find interesting about this Australian candidate is the attitude that he shouldn't be allowed to run for office.  Why?  Just because his views are different, or even offensive?  Who makes that determination?  Can an election really be open and fair if it is barred to candidates who are not "politically correct?"  Here in the USA, we can openly have candidates who are f@scist or any other thing they want to be, no real restrictions aside from eligibility requirements related to age, location, citizenship, and criminal record.

      @Birdie You certainly have more patience than I do.  I don't take it well if I get scolded.  Either I sulk or I get nippish.    We had a good Mother's Day here yesterday.  Quite an event, since 4 of my partners are mothers.  GF enjoys it a lot, because she's very (excessively?) proud of having produced her 5 kids.  Her eldest starts school this fall.  Amazing how time flies...
