Breast Forms

Hi, I have often thought of getting breast forms but it always seemed a waste of money. I make do with a couple of ankle hi socks filled with rice. My Bra size is 44B which is a bit larger than I would like but I am not a great Bra shopper. I bought the Bra at wal Mart one day when the store was almost empty. When I took it to the checkout counter I almost had a heart attack. The lady took it out of the box and waved it around to open it up. I was beginning to think it might be illegal for a man to buy a Bra but she was only checking to see that the Bra in the box was not a more expensive one slipped in to cheat the store. Strangely enough the Bra fit pretty well the only problem is that now when I look down I can't see my feet. Oh well you can't have everything they say. I wonder why not?

It is interesting that a 44B keeps you from seeing your feet. I use to wear a 42B&C and that wasn't a problem. My 42J keeps me from seeing anything below me. The projection is about 6" depending on the bra. I guess it depends all in what you are trying to achieve. With my B&C cup it felt like I had two lumps sticking out, know feel or movement. That has all changed with larger silicone breast forms. It is easy to purchase both forms and bras on line. Most companies ship very discretly.

Hi again,

Now that I am retired my opportunities to dress fully are few and far between but I do persevere and occasionally I dress in the garage and drive out. My wife is very fragile and doesn't get around well so I don't worry too much about getting caught. I suppose that one day I will get a pair of breast forms just to enjoy the feel of them. Not being able to see my feet is of course an exaggeration brought on by looking down the first time and being confronted by a pair of breasts.

I was surprised to see such a quick response to my post. I have only been a member here for a few days and looking at the dates on most of these posts I got the feeling that things are slow here. I expect I will peek in here pretty much on a daily basis since being retired gives me a bit more time to do things on line that I couldn't do at work.

I would strongly recommend you try silicone breast forms. The feel is great and I love the weight. When I first went to a C cup I thought it was perfect, but soon found out bigger is better. I then went to DDD which weigh 2.5lbs ea. The additional weight caused them to bounce with my every movement I made. Not being satisfied I now wear a J cup which is a size 18. They weigh 4.5lbs ea and I now know I am wearing something. The only draw back is out in public you are very noticeably.

Hey,

I've been using forms for a while, I absolutely adore them. a couple of good places in Europe,

http://www.special-trade.eu/store/silicon-...reast-forms.php

this place is in germany - the lady in charge is very helpful indeed. if you are in germany they even have a fitting room! they also supply medical adhesive for fixing the form directly to your skin. it is quite pricey though

http://softcaresilicone.org/index.php?page...=41〈=en

this place is in the uk and i have a pair of these. they are very soft indeed. i would recommend searching ebay for them first though as they sell the same forms on there for a lot less money, if you're lucky to catch an auction not buy it now.

i'm a 36B by the way, with triangulars, hmmmm.

take care x

Hi,

I'm also new to these forums and am still perusing through them :P

I'm looking at buying some breast forms and have my wife's permission :)

I haven't decided what size to buy, i don't want to go too big so they look out of proportions i guess i will have to do some research.

Im also thinking of purchasing the self adhesive type although they are expensive they also appear to be closest you can get to having breasts without surgery or hormones. B)

Hi,

once I had a DD form but for me it already looked to big. I have a natural breast with 42 inch that is 44-46. With the DD form it look like to torpedos like Madonna with his special bra. So not real. I think a B or C would be right for me. Just to increase the size by 2 or 4 inch.

The idea with the socks filled with rice is good. I will try this.

Greetings

Nelly

I just bought forms though the mail. I got B-Cups, and use old bras that were my wifes that are the right band size (38) but not cup size © but they seem to work really well and are comfortable. Not wanting to spend money on bra's till after the HRT kicks in. :D

Well, I don't have them any more, but I'm buying another pair fairly soon - I used the silicone enhacners that women use to go up one cup size. They feel great, aren't too big and if you are over weight like I am you might have a bit of development there already - I do!

Hummmmm :huh:

I found out I was TS rather than CD. Strangely, I never used the big silicone forms when I was cross dressing, I used forms that I had made or the NuBra, silicone type. I have no idea of what cup size they gave me - but they were large enough to fill me out. That is what I so desired then. ;)

Now in transition I wear a bra all the time. I have a little development, about a small B, but because I am losing a lot of weight I find I need to use enhancers - silicone type, the ones women use to add size in their bras - it adds two cup sizes, so techniclally I am a small D cup. Because I am tall and wear xl or women's 18W, a D-cup is not huge, more like a B on a medium sized woman. :D

I also bought silicone enhancer breasts that actually self adhere, which were advertised on the internet for women but seem more like for transsexual or CD types. This was after I wore out the NuBra. These actually are supposed to be D cup, but are much larger somehow. The weight is perfect. Even my wife says they look and feel natural on me.

So I have my bra on, with the smaller enhancers when active, changing to the self-adhesive to sleep, and on those rare occasions I like to go braless. Going braless is a real experience, as I tend to sag a bit and they go every which way like the real thing. I guess this is because they are on top of my real breast tissue. They also have small nipples built in.

I am between a 42 and 44 band. A 42 D and a 44 C are actually about the same size bra. Because of the weight loss I am down-sizing to 38 and 40 band size, and use a C cup, which is more natutural, but depends on the brand. I have trouble finding one with a good fitting strap. Strangely, the string straps seem to stay up better on me, but dig in a bit more. I cannot get the formed cup or lightly padded bras to look right, so I try to stay with a natural soft cup - which will show the nipples a bit. I liked that as a CD but its a bit of a problem as a full time woman. :P

Probably more information than you wanted to know. Its really different in transition, I never knew. For example I need to have a drawer full of bras now - I also need to keep them clean and fresh. And I just go into the stores and buy them. The clerks will even help you out if you present yourself as a transsexual, they are just cautious their other customers may be offended seeing a male in the fitting room, so I ask for a good time to come when they aren't so busy. And I buy expensive bras - $40 and up. They fit and hold their shape better. I had to leave the Walmart shopping behind and switch to Department Stores. :rolleyes:

Things have definately changed for me. :lol:

Mia, I enjoy the weight and bounce the J cup gives me. I don't have a problem with "t" shirts and seldom wear a tank top. I wear a 42 bra and even though a J cup is large it fits my frame. It gives me a projection of about 6". I don't like anything smaller than a DDD. I do wear a C cup occasionally but get very little enjoyment it just makes me less noticeable. When I wear a bra I want the feel of a woman not just the look. haha Fran

Mia, Happy New Year to you also. Curious, do you wear a padded bra for your A cup or something else. Fran

When I was 16 I had a pair of those breast enhancers of which I had to get rid of thanks to my Mom. This Month I got a Pair of Silicone Breasts that make me a 38 C. My first reaction was all "Whoa, these are huge" but now I've grown into them a lil and wouldn't change them.

Glad to her you like your C- cup silicone breasts. I don't know why more of us don't wear them. They feel and look great.

I like rubinesque women and want to be like them, therefore I'm happy to see that I have many 'kindred' spirits in the J cup department, as that's what I've finally settled on for my size, simply because I love the 'noticeable' feminine feeling they give me, and figure that if I'm going to go, I might as well go all the way (heh). The cost of some decent J cup 'falsies' is a bit intimidating though. I suppose I'll have to stick to my homemade "J's" for now, but I would love to upgrade to the realistic, even when nude, ones. Sadly, the three hundred dollar price-tag is a bit much for me right now.

deglerious, save up for the J cups. I love mine and so much enjoy the weight and bounce. I also have smaller ones when I don't want to be noticed as much.

I'm certainly wanting to do that, but they are a bit pricey and there are other things I'd like as well [sigh], I suppose that I'll have to really think on this one...but they do sound so delicious...

      Yes, my programmer friends and I think that antivirus software is a virus.  It's constantly searching your system and slowing it down.  If you install your own OS and software on your machine, and you make backups of your personal files, then you can recover from viruses in an hour or two.  My computer is 10+ years old and is working as good as the first day I had it.   As long as my computer is doing what I want it to do, I don't care if someone is spying on my system.

      If you get a ticket, always say not guilty and go to court. Much of the time, the officer will not show up, and often the district attorney or the judge will not want to take the time. They ticket harvest because most people just agree to the fine and send them a check by mail.   If you are not a commercial driver, Most states also have a ticket forgiveness program. You take a little easy Driver's Ed Course, and it doesn't go on your record or increase your insurance prices. Explore your options!

      Shaving my legs (very early on) was the first BIG STEP in my self-affirmation.  It also felt Real and Natural ... Finally (after all my years with fairly hairy legs). My wife was shocked but I think she thought it was 'OK' as long as didn't go any farther ... well that wasn't going to happen.  It was actually Step 1 of many to follow.  I did feel the need to hide it from others but eventually didn't care.  And, men shaving their legs is much more common these days. Home IPL (laser) made the hair removal permanent over the course of a year or so.  Whatever was leftover has been reduced to peach-fuzz by HRT. I don't deny or reject all my years living in the realm of cis-males ... it was part of my Journey to get to where I am today.  But since committing to HRT and living in an environment and community that supports my transition, I find it difficult to go back into Boy-mode.  The times that I do have to do that ... I can feel the dysphoria rising up again.  No going back ... at this point.

      Congratulations @EasyE on your continued progress! I think it was about 6 - 8 weeks for me that I truly started to notice (and feel!) the changes.  They were not enormous (no pun intended) but I could notice my breasts were starting to plump up and my hips also.    fyi - I talked to my Provider a couple of days ago and based on recent labs agreed that I could start progesterone.  I did a LOT of research and after expressing any concerns with my Provider we both felt confident in starting.  I have been almost a full year of estradiol and I think my breast and other body changes have started to settle down.  Hoping the 'P' will give them another jump start. Thank you for sharing your progress.  I think you're going to be Happy with with the next couple of months brings

      I have this one particular antivirus with the VPN, I thought I paid for everything to be activated, but it turns out to be I have basic protection and they want more money from me to turn it on. I wished the store salesperson told me this soon, I would have brought something else that has everything in it, not half protection missing lol

      Hi @Mealaini - nice to meet you and Welcome! You have an important story and experience to share so I am happy you are open and willing to do that.  Also, I want you to know that this Forum was a very important part of my own Self-Acceptance and helped me navigate both my Progress and the Coming Out process to my wife, kids, and other family/friends.   It's not an easy Journey - sometimes it can seem slow and painful - but for most of us here, it's one that is essential to our Well Being.  I hope you have a similar experience as myself as you connect with others on this Forum and gain the benefit our each individual Experience and our Shared Humanity. Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      It seems to me that antivirus software often acts like a virus.  McAfee is really tough to get rid of.  I got a laptop a few years ago that had it pre-installed.  Didn't want it, and the process to cut out every last piece of it took a long time.    As for VPNs, check out Ultrasurf: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasurf   It may not be the best, but it is free and seems to bypass many government restrictions.  Its one of the few tools in GF's toolbox that I actually understand how to use.  As in...click the button!

      Divorce sux.  My husband has an ex-wife somewhere...far, far away.  I guess she turned into somebody completely different right after the marriage, and she divorced him after a couple of years.    My partner (his "Wife #1) married him pretty soon after that divorce, and I guess he kind of missed her back then, but that fades with time.  I wonder... is it harder to stay in contact after divorce, or harder to cut off all contact completely?    I was very clear with my GF when we got together years ago.... to choose me is to keep me forever, as a breakup (and heartbreak) would probably be fatal.  I told my husband and other partners the same thing.  Once I've made my nest, don't push me out of it.  I will curl up in a corner and make myself very heavy and hard to grab   Even GF has never said she wanted to get rid of me, although she gets frustrated with me sometimes.  I'm pretty sure I'm safe here.

      Odd that this topic showed up today. With the warmer weather approaching, I decided to do something about my legs. When I was in my twenties, my legs were quite hairy, but have become less hirsute as I age. I decided to mow the hair with my manscaping device to make eventual shaving less messy. This made me realize that due to a lack of limberness and practice, shaving might be a major undertaking, so today I applied depilatory from mid-thighs to my ankles (no hair on feet, fortunately). The odor wasn't as unpleasant as I expected (didn't use a common store brand*), and the results were gratifying. I'll try it on my chest next.   *I'm not sure whether mentioning product names is allowed – think of a musical by Lerner and Loewe.

      Hi all, Thanks for the warm welcome.     Yeah... The UK flag is a mistake.  I didn't notice it until I came on here today. I'm from Illinois, in the U.S.  I can't seem to find the way to change it in my profile.  Moderators?  Any ideas?     I met with my therapist today.  She thinks that this will be a good place to get started, and I am hoping I can find some support and offer support.     I'll be checking in from time to time :)

      It has been about six weeks since I started the HRT journey. Today I officially "upgraded" to a new level of patch. I can't believe how giddy I was when A) the doc responded so quickly to my request for a new prescription, as I thought as I was going to have to wait a few weeks for my current one to run out; B) the pharmacy filled my new prescription so quickly -- in like an hour from when the doc emailed; and C) when I got home and put the new patch in place as quickly as possible...   Six weeks in and I would say it is subtle changes at best. But there are changes. They are just hard to describe... Sometimes I get these little rushes of emotion or mini-euphorias. Is that the hormones? I am emotional anyways, anger included ... I've noticed very subtle changes in my chest, like are my areola getting bigger? Or is it just my imagination? Are things getting smaller downstairs? Again, or just my imagination? I feel ... different ... yes a little more feminine...   I think it has surprised me how much I actually want a female chest. I keep checking it out all the time. That is brand new! But it's like I look down, notice what appear to be some changes and I say to myself, "This is going on with my body, and I like this! A lot!" Nothing ceases to amaze me anymore. I am such a mess, lol...    I feel like this patch upgrade is going to bring about more noticeable changes. Like I am really in the game now. Like the first part was just a warm up. Maybe not. But that's what it feels like.   So far, no problems with the patch itself (aside for forgetting a couple of times to take the old patch off when I put the new on one. I went a whole day once with a double-patch). Internally I think I am so ready for the next step... Externally, I feel like I am continuing to poke a hornet's nest, a den of scorpions and a mama bear all at the same time.
