Hi hon.

I am looking to buy some breast forms myself. I heard from some online resources that oval shaped breast forms are the best. They are not cheap though, from what I have checked so far they range from $94.00 and up. Janets Closet is one place you may want to look at.

Hi Sweetheart,

I can help a little as I've purchased several sets. The first set I bought was a name-brand "attachable" form by Amoena (not sure of the exact spelling). They're a high-end medical grade supplier. They attached using a velcro type material on the form and you put adhesive patches on your chest and popped them on. They did bounce around like the real thing, but the adhesive pulled loose fairly soon. Might have had something to do with the fact I bought the giant, economy size. LOL

I was not a fan of the mastectomy bras, as I felt they didn't allow nearly enough jiggle when I moved and I wanted serious jiggle.

Those were the "teardrop" shape (also called oval, I believe). The shape you choose probably depends on your own body needs. You wear them sideways, with the thin part of the teardrop extending under your arms. I never felt they were the right shape for me.

Next, I bought some "triangle" shaped, which seem to be the closest to natural breasts. I ended up attaching them using Hollister medical adhesive, which works absolutely wonderfully and sticks those babies on very well and can last several days. Yaaaay! The downside to the adhesive is you need to use the adhesive remover to get it off and it's a fair amount of work to clean your skin and the forms. This didn't normally bother my skin.

I've purchased forms from high ends and I've bought them off Ebay pretty reasonably and I don't see a bunch of difference in what I've bought. I'd buy off Ebay again in an instant.

The Hollister medical adhesive I could buy from a local medical supply store. It's pricey, maybe 35 bucks US for a small can.

I finally found some nice bras with pockets in them that did a nice job of holding the forms and allowing the jiggle and that was my best choice.

I hope this helps,

Yvonne

TrueKare.com, They are pretty good with adhesive backs and you get get them for about 50-86$ depending on what size. The adhesive back has yet to fail me almost a year later. Discrete packaging and in my opinion pretty good quality for the price. They have a clearance option too depending on what size, size chart included. hope it helps

I'm curious if anyone has used Magic Curves breast forms.

From the video, they look positively incredible, though $205 ain't cheap. (goin for a C cup)

Would love to hear from more people who have experience from this and other companies...

I used Original Looks silicone bra inserts in the beginning, i do not use them anymore as i am about a b cup, they were fairly inexpensive and felt very natural, just get a bra with pockets.

Astro_Liz gave a good review of the forms from TrueKare so, since her advice has yet to fail me and she's a scientist so I know she's probably given these puppies a thorough testing I decided to buy a pair of forms and try them out. I got the ASY-9 since my ideal cup size is a 42C and I absolutely love them! Make no mistake, when I put these on I definitely had boobs. You have to wear these with a bra but they're great quality, they feel real, the adhesive back helps them stay in place, they're easy to put on, take off, and take care of.

Best $100 I spent. Oh and they ship in a discreet brown cardboard box. Only thing I underestimated was how large they would be. I expected a small form but I'm not a small girl, and these aren't small forms. lol, but they're perfect for my frame and size.

i have bought the cheap forms off of eaby about 3 times... each pair has lasted about a year before they kinda got to the point where i could not use them anymore. i bought small forms that gave me like an A cup at best and then i just wore them all the time everyday. easy enough to hide back when i was not out. the cheap forms i got said they were self adhesive but after a while it would wear off and then i had to try other methods. i tried medical adhesive for awhile but its an awful pain to clean up and after 6 months of continuous use my skin was getting red and blistered. i found that the adhesive tapes sold at the breastformstore work pretty good and u can get multiple uses if u don't wash forms everyday and kinda double up your bra with a sports bra on top. but with this method you don't really get all the jiggle, just the shape.

I want a few specific things in a breast form.

A: FEELS like the real thing.

B: LOOKS like the real thing.

C: Color can be setup to blend with my skin tone (so its hard to tell when I'm wearing something that will expose the edges, like say, a swimsuit)

Guest Lizzie McTrucker
does the color match at all?

It's close but not the same. Noone sees them anyway since they're under my shirt.

I think with so many different color variations in people's skin it would be almost impossible to get an exact match.

I haven't actually bought anything yet, but one store I found was http://wwwthebreastformstore.com . They looked pretty good to me.

I got mine from thebreastformstore. I LOVE THEM! they have many different "grades" I got the silver and they are very good. The store also incudes some tape to go with. They hold in place all while being able to wear a regular bra. The feel and movement are very real. They are the Triangle shape. Also the people at that store are so wonderful to work with. I made a different purchase there as well just the other day. The color was wrong and they sent me a new item in the right color and sent a pre-paid package with the new item to send the wrong one back. So no cost on my part to get the right item. I will def go back for more shopping there.

Yes I have had experience with buying the breast forms. I bought mine a few years ago. I am very happy with both the service and the breast forms. I bought mine from thebreastformstore. I bought the Gold Seal Asymmetrical breast form. I also purchased their white mastectomy bra with places to insert the breast form. I recently bought the black mastectomy bra from them. Don't worry about the color etc. It will be hiding under your clothes. They also have a video on their site showing you videos of the different size and look.

Good luck in finding the best thing for you.

I researched a lot of places on the internet and ended up going to a local store to get them. I was very glad I did because the size charts had me at a size that was much too big for me. They first had me try the chart size for my body and then we decided that they were way too big for my frame. I ended up going down two more sizes and have a C size that looks very natural and proportional to my body. I would suggest that if you are going to do this on line that you work with them to be able to return what you get for another size.

      Thanks, Mindy. It has been so far. Tomorrow, work some more on the wife's grand monkey. Got the right side of the hood primed, just need to do a little more work on the left then I can prime it. Then a 600grit wet sand.   I promised the wife we would take out the bike this weekend.   Kymmie

      During my last visit with my psychologist (who has agreed to provide required letters of recommendation along with a colleague to provide the second) we discussed the shift towards my wife's acceptance. It was a long discussion but one point I mentioned was how much the two of us sitting down and watching this documentary helped:  The Kings | A transgender love story (2017)

      Oops, I did not mean to post that comment yet! I was going to also say, having read a mountain of commentary on the Review, I think Julia Serano’s response (linked by Vicky above) is the most accurate and thorough. You can also read a non-paywalled version at Substack: https://juliaserano.substack.com/p/the-cass-review-wpath-files-and-the   To me the three key areas in which the review is deficient are:   1. As has already been said here, its views on social transition;   2. Its attempts to give credence to the “ROGD” theory (without ever actually mentioning ROGD because presumably a canny editor knows that would be too transparently transphobic);   3. To me, most crucially, its claims about trans youth and suicide, which are dealt with summarily in about five pages and do not stand up to any deeper scrutiny.    I will be writing about each of these issues in isolation over the next few weeks and appearing on a radio show and podcast to discuss them late in the month. I will post links to these on TP later if anyone is interested.   All that said, I actually think it’s dangerous for us to respond with outright vitriol and condemnation to the review since, like any effective piece of disinformation, it does actually contain some factually based and even helpful recommendations. The Tavistock Gender Identity Service really was underfunded and understaffed and certain staff were not adequately trained. Trans kids really were funnelled away from mental-health support once they started gender-affirming care too. So yes, more investment in youth psychology services would help, as would a less centralised model of care, more training in treatment of trans kids, and more research.   One last thing for now: beware the claim that Cass ignored 98% of studies. That’s not strictly true. She seems to have taken other studies into account but leaned heavily on the 2% that met her standards. Nor does she ever claim that only randomised controlled trials are good enough evidence to justify the use of blockers for kids; just as with ROGD, she strongly suggests this, but is too canny to say it, because she knows such trials would be impossible. For now, I think the best response to this comes from the Trans Safety Network: “[…] we believe there to be systemic biases in the ways that the review prioritises speculative and hearsay evidence to advance its own recommendations while using highly stringent evidence standards to exclude empirical and observational data on actual patients. “ (https://transsafety.network/posts/tsn-statement-on-cass-final-report/)   To me, the scariest aspect of all this is that, if it follows Cass’s recommendations, the NHS will very likely follow Finland’s recent model of trans care, which seems to amount to a prolonged form of conversion therapy. I can’t find the link right now, which is probably lucky for anyone reading this, but I bawled my guts out reading the testimonies of kids who had been mistreated by that system. Truly horrific. To me, at least from my Australian perspective, the Cass Review is the most frightening development in trans rights in recent years. To me, the safe care of trans kids is THE number one issue in politics atm.   Ruth Pierce has a good summary of responses from trans folk and their allies sk far: https://ruthpearce.net/2024/04/16/whats-wrong-with-the-cass-review-a-round-up-of-commentary-and-evidence/

      Welcome to the wide, wild world of transgender, M.A.  It can definitively be overwhelming, but everyone here is amazing, so no doubt you'll get bunches of wonderful support. I think you'll be happy you found us.   
    • Sally Stone
      @Ladypcnj  This is so true.  I think all of us here have had a post or two that didn't get a response.  Sometimes, it's as simple as adding to your original to post for a clearer explanation, or re-reading what you wrote originally, and rephrasing it.  But don't despair, we aren't ignoring you.   Hugs,   Sally

      So, we left for lunch in our Taos, talked and went to the dealer and came home with the Cadillac.

      I have just finished reading the Cass Review, all 380-odd pages of it, and am totally open to questions including via DM if anyone wants more information on it

      What season are you?  If you don't know, look around on the internet. Or ask a girl friend..  Maybe someone here is even a color consultant?   And there are guides on figure-flattering clothes for all shapes that you should look into.    Abby

      Just know that your kids will probably turn out OK, in spite of the chaos.  One of my partners was widowed in her very early 30s, left with 3 kids.  They're teens now, and one graduated a year ago and is working, but still living at home.  A few bumps in the road, but the three are turning into responsible young adults.  It is amazing how resilient kids can be.  They should be able to handle your changes as well.

      I've been transitioning now for eight months but have been wearing women's clothing for 2+ years. I am over weight and approaching my 72nd birthday. I have purchase my solid color clothing online and recently graduated to 'V' neck tops. I have been hesitant to get anything more girly due to family issues, though with my hair style I am able to totally pass when dressed in a skirt and blouse.   About two  months ago I finally went and got my nails done (which I truly which I had done long ago) though not red nor pink (again family issues). To date I don't think I am having problems with being trans unlike others seem to have. The biggest problem I am having is with my clothing. Any suggestions my girl friends might have would be greatly appreciated.   Cindy

      Umm.... if a post is ignored, live with it?   My stuff gets ignored sometimes, and its OK.  My life is different, and may seem kind of wacky to others.  Some folks just can't relate, or if I'm needing advice they just don't have it.  Diversity is like that sometimes.  If your post gets missed, don't take it personally.  Also, stuff that is new on weekends seems to get ignored more, since most folks are busy with family or other stuff during that time.  Overall, I think people here are pretty helpful.

      I'd really love a professional stove.  There's actually one I want at Lowes, but its like $6k.  I've got plenty of money, the issue is that I'm not the queen (king?) of my den.  Or even of the kitchen.  My partner (husband's wife #1) owns that territory, and she's very attached to what she's got.  One of our stoves has 6 burners and a large oven, the other has 4 burners and a regular household sized oven.  And of course, there's always the wood-burning equipment.    Today was interesting.  We had the first campaign fundraiser for our sheriff and my sister.  My sister is running to be constable of our township.  Pretty sure she'll win, as her opponent is an old dude who is mostly running on "Don't elect a woman for a man's job"    What's weird is our sheriff is running as a Democrat, but he's conservative.  And his Republican opponent sounds like a leftist.  Welcome to Upside-down-ville   And of course all the kids got the chance to sit in a sheriff's car, and play with the lights.   We had a barbecue lunch and a dessert auction.  I baked three apple pies for it, and I was shocked that they sold for $20 each, since my cooking isn't that great.  My partner made her famous "Chocotorta."  It's like a chocolate layer cake with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and it tastes amazing.  Usually we have it for Christmas and other really special occasions.  Two guys got into a bid war, and it sold for $175!!!    Yep, this is politics in the South.  Barbecue, pies, and police cars.  A great way to spend a Saturday

      Yes. That report is part of a conspiracy to torture and murder trans people. It is a lie. It is evil.
