Breastforms

So I'm thinking of investing in a pair of breastforms... However they're quite expensive, and I'm wanting to know how realistic they are... For example, could I get away with a low-cut top in them...?

... I expected this post to be longer... Oopsy!

Hugs!

I have learnt quite a lot about Breast-forms after I did some research.

My best advice to start with is: if you have the money go to proper on-line store and they will get the best size, shape and skin tone for you. If you are on a budget try the ebay, buy new and in the UK. Dont buy from china or Hong-Kong as these can lead to some serious problems.

Choosing a size for you is probably gonna be the hardest thing to do. I bought a F size forms but these equal to 34F 36E 38DD etc. be carefull to get ones that look good for you body shape etc.

As far as looks goes, they look very real in a full support lace bra but I would never ever wear a low cut top as they would stand out a mile. If you bought expensive ones that match you skin tone you may get away with it a little more but can probable still see the seam.

Hope this has helped, msg me if you after anymore advice.

I bought mine from the breast form store and I love 'em!

As far as wearing a low cut top, not exactly because as soon as you bend down someone could look down your shirt and then they'd see the breast forms. However, it's possible if you already have some breast tissue of your own to work with. In this case one would put the breast forms in as usual and then lift them slightly and push your own breast tissue up and towards the center of your chest. This may make your forms rest more so towards the outer edge of your bra instead of in the center like they normally do. If done on both sides you should have your own breast tissue squeezed together at the center almost creating a line where the two meet. You could then wear a lower cut top that way.

It's kind of like what a push up bra does with padding.

Kaitlyn, the advice already offered is right on. I also bought mine at the BFS, and the quality was excellent. They felt the right weight, had the right feel, and fit well. The covering didn't tear or get discolored.

You could do a lot worse. As with most things, you get what you pay for. Oh, and in a bra, I thought they looked very natural, and so did my S/O.

I bought mine from the Breast Form Store. They are the same people that host this website for the server! So Laura knows who they are too!

You are not buying them for color you are buying them for the right size for you. You buy a masectemy bra from the website too (if you want) and you just place the breast forms inside the pockets so they stay in place. It is a good idea to have different bra colors. A black one might sound sexy but when you buy a white shirt it will show through etc. I bought a white mastectomy bra originally then black and the next masectomy bra will be natural beige. You could buy medical grade adjesive they sell at the breast form store and attach breast forms to your chest but that is a lot of work for wearing them on a regulat basis and you need to get them off eventually too! I want to try the adehdive some time though too it should be fun.

For me I bought some breast forms in a size that are in a average size of most cis women and that is equivalent to size b c range. I belive the onesIi bought were size 5 Gold Seal Premium and they are designed for the male torso. I bought mine several years ago. If you get something too big you will attract unwanted attention. They have a sizing chart on their website, a video etc. The best thing to do would be to email them if you were unsure, tell them your height weight and current chest size amd what look you want. For me i wanted to blend in with other cis women. Buy too big a breast form size and you will have trouble with some sweaters, shirts etc keep that in mind too!

The Breast Form Store video can be seen at this site. http://www.thebreastformstore.ca/breastforms-catalog.aspx

Like women who have had a mesectomy you wouldn't want people looking all the way down your shirt otherwise they would know your secret. Try different tops and see how you feel with the breast forms. If you have some flesh on your chest you could use some tape to pull both sides together to help create cleavage for lower cut tops for eg.

I hope this helps :-)

Hi Kaitlyn, I have silicone breast forms from the Breast Form Store.They look good and feel natural. Best money I have ever spent. Purchase

the right size for your body type so you look natural. I sometimes wear scoop neck tops and the forms dont show,real low cut tops would

be a problem. You can buy adhesive for your forms to keep them in place.

Love Kim

my girlfriend bought hers from the breastform store and she has a pair she bought off amazon and they both feel very realalistic and look it to. yes they can be exspensive but you wont be dissapointed in them and yes you can buy the addhesive that stuff helps the forms seal to you so you dont see a line through your clothes.

hope this helps if not let me know.

best wishes and best of luck.

I bought a pair from Janet's Closet and under clothes they are dead on. Unfortunately (and this is not Janets fault) I overestimated a little and I have a pretty sizable D cup now. They do fit my figure but they definately attract attention.

If you have a little bit of natural material to work with, just bend over and reach in under them on each side and pull up and to the center. That way you will have a bit of natural cleavage that sells them a little better.

I HIGHLY recommend getting a pocket bra for them though as otherwise you will need to use surgical adhesive which works, but gets a little difficult to maintain if you are in a hotter climate and sweat.

      Same here.  My mind is a jumbled mess.  I'm no great philosopher, nor particularly educated.  Don't open my brain's closet, as all the junk might come tumbling out.

      Its been a long day.  I had a good trip with my husband, kind of sorry I had to come home.  I mean, I love my partners, but I feel overwhelmed by the chaos at times.  It was nice being able to just drive and talk for two days, and not feel rushed at meals.  Stopped at a buffet off I-40 in Oklahoma, and I was able to nibble comfortably for two hours!  And taking a shower in a place where I don't have to bother hanging up the towels for later   Its all about the little things....

      Hi @AmandaJoy Welcome, and nice to meet you! Congratulations on your Self-Affirmation!  As you've already discovered you're in great company here on this Forum.  It took me 60+ years also.   I understand your thrill and desire to proceed full-steam-ahead but that you've already realized to meter your Journey.  So, I will just end with what I tell most new Members when they arrive ... Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      Hey @KayC I need another tutorial session on this place with you.  Maybe we can talk on Discord or the phone and I can share my screen and do a few messages while Asking you some questions about how this place is organized. How are you doing in the real world?? ... "real world" ???  What is this "real world" of which you speak?

      @VickySGV Ha!  Finally figured THAT out!  Though I hate to confess just how long it took me to figure out WHERE to begin typing that "@" sign.  (So I just won't confess it!  ... giggles) I am not sure how private this message to you is ... for example I was going to make a guess about your location (you say near a major earthquake fault) and while there are many places in CA which fit that description, I live near one as well. But I am not sure if being asked that in a public forum is something you want, and I don't know if I am talking publicly or privately right now.  (So, obviously, till I learn what is what, I treat EVERYTHING as public). I think Kay might have already told me about the "@" sign but I forgot ... Guess I have blonde roots ... (I'm actually a Brunette ... Grey but the box keeps me a brunette ... still the number of mistakes I make and how slow I am with learning things constantly reminds me that I must be blonde on the inside!!  ... giggles)

      @KymmieL do they have you on anti depressants?  Are they certain they are the right ones for you?  Has a psychiatrist been involved?  My physician first put me on an anti depressant and when things got worse for me he added one that was the initial cause of my cancer.  My therapist recommended I had a different need changed things. My psychiatrist agreed with the particular underlying condition and the choice of medications.   everyone is different but if one medication isn’t working there are many different types and different underlying conditions that require different treatments.  No meds mentioned because what didn’t work and what did all depends on your case, not mine.   Willow

      To me loving myself means having the courage to live the way I want and to be me.     I hardly ever really like how I look but I feel good knowing I am trying to be the best version of myself that I can be. It is definitely a struggle sometimes though.  💗Cynthia

      I had a five hour road trip today.  I’m trying to grow my hair out so I just pushed it back with a pink hair band, lipstick and gloss, no makeup.    White spaghetti strap top, short black skirt, white sandals with pink toenails!  A couple of rings and bracelets, necklace and hoop earrings.   I felt like a hot mess but it’s my favorite way to travel!

      Glad you had a good day, @Willow Mine on the other hand sucked. I have been screwing up again, I even got written up. I may have to educate them on major depression and disability. not that it will work.    OH, well. May be another job I lost because of me. Yes, my depression is about down at the magma level   Kym

      This bag is really working out for me.  I had worn out the back on my yin-yang bag so I picked this one up.  It wasn't long before I cut off the flap on it and braided a hemp strap for it.  The zipper is the best feature.  I can spin the bag around and I'm not afraid of losing anything.  I've taught myself to keep all the essential things in it and nothing more.  Here is what made the cut:   Notepad Sharpie Ballpoint Pen Teaspoon Glasses Phone (most of the time) Wired Headphones and/or Bluetooth Carmex and/or Lipstick Flash Drive Current Braiding Project Wallet Hair Clip   And on my keys I have my one inch Swiss Army Knife with scissors and a bottle opener that I like using with mason jar lids.   I don't miss pockets at all now.  The bag is fun and practical.  I can set it on the ground to get everything off my body.  If I need something, I'm looking for a fairly large object.  I always have something to work on with the braiding project.
