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.

      On behalf of everyone reading your entries here @Sally Stone, THANK YOU for creating such an informative thread. But there is one thing you might have neglected to say at the end, and that is, "And they all lived happily ever after!" ❤️   Reno sounds like a pretty good place to call home. I understand the attraction of living in a place that is not too big but not too small.   I look forward to reading your subsequent posts about specific aspects of your journey.

      Hi and welcome. A few things...   1. You're right, you can't trust your friends w/r/t the question of passing. How would they even know if you pass or not? My sister used to do the same thing, telling me that no-one knew I was trans and that to her I just looked like a cis woman. I still don't know if she was serious or just trying to make me feel good, but I learned to not listen to her on that topic.   2. Buuuut, having said that, I thought I looked good, and I think that is all she was really trying to tell me, that she liked how I looked as a woman. Maybe this is obvious, but I feel it gets overlooked: passing and looking good are not the same thing, not even remotely. Your friends (I presume) are trying to tell you that you look good as you are.   3. Having said all that, I think non-passing transmascs have a harder time than us non-passing transfemmes. All I have to do to get gendered correctly 95% of the time is wear a dress and makeup and only a few seriously ignorant folks and diehard transphobes misgender me. For you, it's much harder to find signifiers powerful enough to send the same message.   So in short, I don't have any answers, except that you're right, it sucks, and I hope the situation improves over time. But passing isn't everything. Maybe you're right, and in a less conservative state it wouldn't happen so often, because you'd have more people like you surrounding you. I know that where I chose to live while transitioning has been a big part of making the process a positive experience. I'd hate to be in Texas atm.

      Thank you, ladies.   At the time I went from euphoric (my normal state) to not euphoric in an instant, and the lingering thought was one of self-doubt, manifesting itself with the unsolved question that maybe I never really felt like I had the soul of a woman, I just thought I did. I know I'm not the only one to ever feel this way. All part of the ride on this roller coaster I guess.   Yep, and yep. Makes sense now.

      @Ladypcnj, I found finding a doctor with a good understanding of "intersex" is quite challenging. My current doctor lectured me about the dangers of the testosterone treatments I underwent as a teenager, yet I had no choice in the matter as it was orchestrated by my parents and a sports doctor (I would have never done it in my own).    Having "extra parts" inside and their first suggestion is to remove them because they "might" become cancerous. I'm sorry, but no one is going to remove my uterus unless there is a clear reason to do so.    Then being referred to a psychiatrist to "treat" my gender dysphoria?   Other than a diagnosis of intersex, I find most doctors today are quite vague in understanding how to treat things. It's not something that need fixing, but rather understanding, and each individual case is special.    I know who and what I am, my current care team fails to grasp that.

      Welcome. I know the pain of misgendering, the best way to feel better is to work on yourself and self-acceptance as we still have the curse of the body not matching the brain and although we can make some physical changes we still have to work with what wee have.   I also agree that you are still young and you have not gone through all the changes yet your body will. So hang in there.
    • Heather Shay
      agree with the ladies above. Comfort and trust are important, especially with health care. If you don't feel comfortable even if it isn't with a specialist, although that would be preferred.

      Fear of emotions, also known as emotion phobia, is when someone is unsure how to understand, regulate, or comfort their emotions. Some signs of fear of emotions include: Developing a pessimistic outlook, Avoiding activities or people, Experiencing big outbursts of anger or tears, Struggling to sleep, and Being irritable to be around.Although there are many reasons we might suppress our emotions, one of them is that we are afraid of our emotions. Fear of emotions is called “animotophobia. It is not an official term in the DSM-5-TR. Still, fearing your emotions can have a significant impact on your well-being.

      At 22 your body will still be changing. You say you've been on T for 6 years. Some trans guys say they fully masculinise around the 10 yr mark. I have a cis bro who is soon to be 30. He's changed alot in 5 years, a full beard, deeper voice . Of course hes cis so it's different, but his body was still changing at that age. Sorry for what you're going through. I'm short too at just under 5"2.

      Dump that doctor!   A doctor is a HIRED SERVICE PROFESSIONAL.  No more "holy" than a mechanic, a plumber, or anybody else in the trades.  Just like anybody else you hire, if they have a bad attitude or do crap quality work, get rid of them ASAP.  It amazes me how in the USA we don't have clear prices related to medical services, and how people will put up with crap from a doctor that they wouldn't from anybody else.  And it seems that doctors give bad service at approximately the same rate as other tradespeople.  Good help is hard to find!   Your body is more important than your car or your bathtub. Don't be afraid to assert yourself.
