Advice Please

I'm just over 4mths HRT and my breasts are getting there. Small for a girl, but way to big for a boy. I wear a bra, but that just makes them shapely.

So, how do you cover them? I have been wearing a sports bra, buts it's nit the most comfortable thing in the world and I really don't want to smash them.

Get baggy shirts. If you're wearing a t shirt or a henley, wear a shirt over it but just don't button it all the way. I dunno, that's just what I do.

I spent the spring in hoodies and wore two t-shirts underneath. This doesn't work well when it is 90+ with equal humidity.

I presented "male" at my job for more than a year and a half on HRT....

Tighter T-shirt and a baggy top shirt worked for me....

I'm coming up on five months and mine are still just biggish nipples on mosquito bites stuck to the sides of my rib cage. I just use two shirts to cover them. As long as the outer one is loose, it doesn't matter in my case if the inner one is tight or not.

I will try two tees. It's a bit harder in the summer, but I'll deal with the heat.

It won't be long before that won't work and I'll have to wear something heavy.

Or, I could just go full time. Hahahaha.

At 1 year and 7 months into HRT, I never wear a bra and make no attempt to hide anything. Indeed, I often wear tight shirts and shorts. Yeehi! Of course, that's just me. Many here will give you good ideas should you choose modesty as a modus operandi.

Peace out, hon!

One word: layers! I used a tight tank top with a tshirt over. It is not quite as hot as two tshirts.

When I was male mode I used white tank tops a size too small. They look like the male a type undershirts, you know? the ones the gangsters would wear in the old movies. I then wore fairly loose white dress shirts. That was all I needed. When out in public, I did not care and wore what felt comfortable, except I avoided knit shirts. A TGirl friend of mine said nobody looks at men's chests, and so many older men have boobs anyway from being overweight.

Or your other idea? Just go full time.

I could not possibly go without a bra. I'm at least an A/B and they wobble to much. Plus they are still growing and all that movement hurts.

I started hormones 5 months ago and I wear a sports bra pretty much all the time. I can't stand wearing baggy guys shirts, so I wear a tank thats about a size smaller under my shirt, yes including my sports bra. Its hot sometimes. But honestly, if im doing stuff im not out in this horrible heat that long. If I was still working, would probably do the same. Sports bra, tank then work shirt. It just works.

Hey if you find out something better let me know, Ill give it a try.

Naturally, do what makes YOU comfortable, girl!

Victoria's Secret has some awesome bras that will make A/B breasts look just great. Heck, I actually have one such bra from Victoria's Secret. Only wore it once ... for about 3 minutes. However, their bras would REALLY work for you. Naturally, buy any brand you want to.

Hey, I'm now a B cup ... have the jiggling ... and the discomfort like you say. Amazing, I'm still growing. Hopefully, I'll reach a C cup which is where I want to be.

Shameless sort that I am, I didn't develop these breasts and work out and diet like a fiend to hide everything. Hey, tomorrow, God willing, I'm going to the Mountdale Sun Resort (Goggle it) and will wear a sun hat, sunscreen and that's it!

Do what makes YOU comfortable and happy, Nova Girl!

Im about 2 years and 1month im about a small A there tiny but my ribs, back, and chest are tiny. So yeaah it would be harder for me to hide:3 try a tank top.?

[Guest natasha79]

I just started wearing sports bras. Fruit of the loom are cheap just paid under $10 for 5 of them at Wallyworld.

There comes that time that it is just not going to work anymore.

I try to get by when I have to go into the office with a baggy work shirt. I went in Monday wearing a denim work shirt a size too big for me and thought it was ok until I caught my profile in a mirror in the rest room and saw that there was just no longer hiding the girls. I am just not going to worry about it. I don't want to do a sports bra because I don't want to do the binding effect. So I just decided that I will face any comments as they come.

But then I am old enough and have been in the job long enough to just not give a hoot what others think.

[Guest ColinFarber]

Whatever you do, don't bind. It will ruin the tissue and make your breasts sag very soon; I'm in my twenties and not too endowed, and my chest has already sagged because of binding. I don't care for obvious reasons, but I don't think you want to risk ruining your equipment

Sports bra should be alright as long as they aren't causing you pain or compressing too much (you'll notice if that's the case, trust me!)

Layering can also be effective; it was my primary method before I bought proper binders and I "passed" most of the time so it can work.

Button-down shirts are very effective, when my chest was smaller I could get away with just a sports bra under them. An open jacked with a dark t-shirt under it is another effective method to minimize your chest.

Of course avoid shirts with words or drawings on the chest, while vertically-striped or checkered ones are great.
